At Wert, we prioritize creating a secure and trustworthy environment for all our customers. To minimize the risk of fraud, we require a straightforward verification process.
As a licensed virtual currency provider regulated by Estonian and U.S. authorities, this process is essential to meeting our regulatory requirements and ensuring the integrity of transactions on our platform.
That’s why we follow international KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) standards — just like banks and financial institutions do.
What is KYC?
KYC is a standard process that requires customers to verify their identity before using certain financial services. It's similar to what banks or online exchanges ask for when you open an account.
During KYC, you may be asked to provide a valid government-issued ID (like a passport or national ID), confirm your address with a supporting document (e.g., utility bill), and take a selfie for identity verification.
Why is it necessary?
This process helps us reduce the risk of identity theft and fraudulent activity.
KYC adds an important layer of security and accountability to every transaction.
If you’re unsure about the verification process or need help submitting your documents, feel free to reach out to our support team via chat or email us at [email protected].
