KYC

Also called Know Your Customer, verification

What crypto means by it

Proving who you are with an ID document and usually a selfie, before a regulated service will let you move money. It is a legal requirement, not a preference.

What you already know this as

Opening a bank account. The same passport, the same proof of address, the same wait.

In Kite: You complete KYC once, then request your card in the app.
