A Note on KYC:
Financial institutions need to comply with KYC rules/regulations in order to operate. We believe in a future where traditional banking isn't required and #DeFi increases its reach. The reality is that we aren't in that position yet.

When using our FIAT ONRAMP that can support large amounts of economic energy, you are creating a digital account with our banking partner, so you need to perform KYC. We just make it really easy.

(If you want to onramp $100 with no KYC, there are other products out there)

We interviewed and performed due diligence on multiple KYC providers, but ultimately our banking partner (like many many other institutions) uses Socure. They also allows us to easily onboard new countries/markets to the $HEX and #PulseChain community.

The KYC process will be simple and quick. You:
*Receive a link from Socure
*Open link in browser
*Allow camera
*Browser captures image of front & back of ID (Drivers licence typically)
*Browser captures picture of your face
*The country you are in (location)
This takes <1min

This creates a socure ID (digitally) and allows our banking partner to confirm this matches your registration details. The stats suggest >98% of customers should be verified in ~2min, with user error (such as mis-spelling causing mis-match on registration form being most common)

Socure will allow a seamless and easy experience for users, and will allow us to efficiently add more countries to our user base.
