What is KYC, and why is it necessary?

Modified on Wed, 5 Mar at 3:54 PM


KYC (Know Your Customer) is a mandatory verification procedure where customers provide identification documents to verify their identity. Shipfinex, as a regulated financial platform, is legally required to perform comprehensive KYC procedures to comply with international Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Combating the Financing of Terrorism (CFT) regulations.


These procedures are critical because they help:

  • Prevent identity fraud and financial crime.
  • Ensure compliance with global regulatory standards.
  • Protect the integrity of the Shipfinex marketplace, providing a safe and secure investment environment for all users.

Shipfinex's stringent adherence to global AML/CFT standards ensures the legitimacy and transparency of transactions conducted on its platform.
