Completing your KYC on Onboard Wallet

You can send, receive and swap crypto on Onboard Wallet, without completing KYC.


However, to buy and sell crypto with cash, we need to verify your identity. This is to ensure safe and secure peer-to-peer trades with other users on the platform.


To verify your account, you’ll need to provide a proof of ID (such as an international passport, driver’s license, or National ID), take a video selfie, and verify your phone number. Verification usually takes a few minutes, and we guarantee the security & privacy of your data.
