CoinDCX, India’s largest and safest cryptocurrency exchange, announced a partnership with global identity verification and authentication company Onfido, to digitally automate CoinDCX’s entire KYC process while making it faster than ever. Onfido’s technology uses artificial intelligence (i.e. AI) to help verify users’ identities swiftly and securely while preventing fraud, enabling CoinDCX to onboard users in under 5 minutes while meeting KYC regulations.

To ensure users’ safety and compliance, CoinDCX places significant importance on KYC verification.

Users are onboarded by clicking a picture of their government-issued IDs and a selfie. Using AI, Onfido verifies the user’s real identity by analyzing their photo ID, checking that it seems genuine,running checks across Govt. Listed IDs, and then matching it against their selfie or video. This ensures the person is the legitimate owner and physically present. This comprehensive digital process detects even the most sophisticated frauds while offering consumers a safe consumer onboarding experience.

Adding to that, Sumit Gupta, Co-founder & CEO, CoinDCX, said, “Our users are at the core of every decision we make at CoinDCX and a streamlined user experience is very important to us. The #TryCrypto initiative is about providing helpful tools, lowering the barriers to entry, and providing access to the crypto asset class in order to enable mass adoption. By integrating Onfido’s technology we can not only simplify the KYC experience for users but also give our users peace of mind by providing the highest level of fraud protection. Onfido’s cutting edge and next generation technology will enhance CoinDCX’s compliance, safety, security and performance, as it has with so many other companies in the past.”
