Why do I need to verify my identity?

Identity verification is required to help keep PRYPCO Mint secure and compliant with regulatory requirements.
​

Verification is only required when you want to start investing. You can create an account and explore the app without completing verification.


Why is identity verification required

That’s a great question — and an important one.
​

PRYPCO Mint operates within a regulated framework and is overseen by the Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA).
​

Therefore, as a VARA-regulated platform, PRYPCO Mint must verify your identity and confirm certain information before allowing investments. This includes identity, background details, and relevant financial information.

​

Think of it like applying for a credit card or a mortgage. Before approval, the financial institution needs to verify your identity and determine the source of the funds. The same principle applies here.

This process helps ensure:

  • Compliance with regulatory and Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements

  • Protection against fraud and unauthorised activity

  • Accurate ownership and transaction records

  • A safer and more transparent platform for all investors


Important to know

  • Creating an account on PRYPCO Mint is free

  • Verification is required only if you want to invest

  • Your information is handled securely and in line with applicable regulatory standards

  • In some cases, additional review may be required to meet compliance requirements
