Identity Verification
Identity verification is the process of checking that a person or organization is who they claim to be. Depending on the situation, this may involve identity documents, business records, electronic verification systems or other approved methods.
Why it matters to you
Identity verification helps connect a real person or legal entity with an account, wallet or investment relationship. This becomes particularly important when regulated financial assets are transferred using blockchain addresses that do not themselves reveal the holder's legal identity.
