Why We Ask for KYC

Updated June 27, 20264 min read

Required for Every Loan

A one-time identity check (KYC, for *Know Your Customer*) is required before your first loan — whether you choose a crypto-wallet or a bank payout. It keeps Bitlendex compliant with financial regulations and protects your account from impersonation.

A note on an earlier policy

Bitlendex previously verified identity only for bank payouts. Identity verification now applies to all loans, including USDC payouts.

What the Check Involves

You confirm your legal name, then our verification partner Persona checks a government-issued photo ID and a quick selfie in a secure popup. It usually takes just a few minutes.

Identity verification runs through Persona in a secure popup — once, for every loan.

We never check your credit score, income, or employment history. Your Bitcoin is your collateral.

Your Information Is Protected

Your verification data is encrypted and handled by specialized providers — it is not shared with lenders. To see exactly who processes what, read how your data is handled.
