Know Your Customer is the process of verifying our users' identity using a valid national identity card or passport.

  • Do not close your window or switch tabs during the process

  • If KYC verification is unsuccessful, the user must start the process again

  • Users will have to complete the Wallet KYC and then the Exchange KYC. Both processes are mandatory to use IXFI.

Wallet KYC verification process

  1. Use your favorite browser and access www.ixfi.com.

    • If you already have an account on IXFI, click on the 'Login' button in the upper right-hand corner of IXFI's homepage to login.

    • If you don't have an account on IXFI, click on the 'Register' button in the upper right-hand corner of IXFI's homepage to create one.

  2. Click on the Account icon and then press on Profile.

  3. Press on the KYC Information button and then press the Being KYC Verification button from the Wallet KYC Box. A new page will open, so make sure your browser allows Pop-ups.

    • This will start the Wallet KYC process with our partners Sumsub, so make sure to have your ID / Passport on hand.
      ​

    1. Once the new page opens, you will have to start completing your data: Country of Residence, Nationality, Legal Name & Date of Birth.

    3. After selecting the document, you can either continue on Web (if you have a webcam), or press Continue on phone.

      Please be prepared to take a short video of your face (liveness check) and a photo of a government-issued document.
