Topic: Can you buy Bitcoin and Alts without Identification? - page 2. (Read 325 times)

From what I know not all crypto ATMs are KYC-free countries like the UK and New Zealand before you can even access their Bitcoin ATMs your account must be registered and KYC verified by there service, in some countries like the Philippines where there Bitcoin ATMs are services part of banks also require you to open a bank account from their bank and undergo a KYC process as well so definitely Bitcoin ATMs are not some kind of service where anyone has full access with it since looking at it right now it is now also under string AML compliance from their respective governments.

Thank you, I didn't know what KYC was about, even after reading about it for years, finally, in 2020 I know exactly .
I think everyone knows about KYC, no need to repeat as if we were 5 years old.

Some ATMs require your ID, it's worth mentioning.

And the platforms may not ask your ID but the other parties (sellers/buyers) may can, it's up to you to accept the deal or not but for example, dealing with Paypal is something popular to ask. If you want to use a bank account (one of the most popular methods) you can not avoid the KYC verification with the bank.

Can you buy Bitcoin and Alts without Identification? Yes, there are still quite a few channels to buy and sell Bitcoin without any Identification, complicated KYC/AML procedures and waiting for account to be approved.

KYC - Know Your Customer – is a procedure that a business uses to validate its customers identity. KYC usually means gathering several of the customer’s identification documents: government-issued cards, address and utility bills to prove it, phone numbers, email etc.

In some cases the company will ask the customer to make a selfie holding a formal document near his face. With time this becomes a crypto industry standard.
