What Information Do I Need To Verify My KAST Account?

  • Updated

To keep your account secure and meet legal rules, KAST requires specific personal details and documents. Having this information ready helps us confirm your identity quickly.

What Documents Do I Need To Verify My Account?

To make sure your account confirmation goes smoothly, please have the following ready:   

  • Valid Government-Issued Photo ID: Accepted documents include your Passport (photo page), National ID card, or Driver's license.
  • Live Photo: You will be asked to take a selfie or live picture, often holding your valid ID, to prove your identity matches the document.
  • Proof of Address: A document that clearly shows your current home address, such as a utility bill, bank statement, or official letter from the government.
  • Contact Information: A current and valid phone number and email address.

How Does The Verification Process Work?

Here is a short guide on how to complete the confirmation process in the app:

  1. Submit Documents: Upload your required documents (ID and Proof of Address) through the KAST app when prompted.
  2. Take Live Photo: If requested, take the live selfie/photo following the instructions on your screen.
  3. Wait for Confirmation: Most verifications are fast, often finished within a few minutes.
  4. Receive Notification: We will send you an email once your account has been successfully confirmed.

Why Does KAST Need These Details?

We require these specific details to protect both your account and to meet financial rules:

  • Verify your Identity: We need to confirm that you are the correct owner of the account and protect it from fraud.
  • Comply with Regulations: This process ensures we comply with anti-money laundering (AML) and "Know Your Customer" (KYC) financial requirements.
  • Ensure Security: These checks help keep your account and all your transactions safe.

All your personal data is kept safe and confidential as described in our Privacy Policy.
