Enhancing Security on Darkex: The Role of KYC and Sumsub Verification
Identity verification, also known as KYC (Know Your Customer), is a necessary security procedure performed before starting to trade and forming accounts of the people who would like their freedom protected in a fair manner. As an important means of confirming user identities and raising the security level of broker accounts, compiling your ID information is mandatory to ensure that trading can be conducted with confidence.
Although you can trade without going through verification, there will be significant restrictions on your transactions. This is implemented to prevent potential suspicious activity and functions similarly to the procedures banks use in fighting money laundering.
The KYC (Know Your Customer) process is a method for establishing mutual trust between Darkex and its users.
Darkex has joined forces with Sumsub to strengthen and simplify compliance processes and make the procedure smoother for verification.
In our partnership with Sumsub, we combined efforts to ensure that all kinds of counterfeits are detected and that Darkex can offer its users a more secure trading experience.
By using Darkex, your Sumsub authentication transactions can be quickly submitted and accurately verified.
