How do I register and get verified on Bity.com?

In order to use BUTANUKI, you need a fully verified (KYC) Bity.com account. If you already have a verified Bity.com account, there is nothing more to do, and you can start setting up your BUTANUKI saving plan already.

If you don't have a Bity.com account you will be able to create a new one. Bity.com is compliant with Swiss regulation frameworks aiming to prevent money laundering, and follows proper know-your-customer (KYC) procedures. Fortunately, such verification is very simple and quick.

New account registration and login (2 steps)

1) Go to register Bity.com and enter your email address, your chosen username, and a password.

2) Access your email box and validate your account creation by following the instructions sent to you. If you didn't receive the e-mail, first check into your SPAM box.

To get verified, you will need the following documents ready:

a) A copy of a valid ID. The ID should include an MRZ code and your signature. An example of the MRZ code can be found below:

The issue date cannot be older than three months.

10) You will receive a code by sms, enter it, accept the declaration and "Submit your information".

That's it! All you have to do now is to wait for Bity.com's Compliance team to get back to you with a confirmation or a new request (in case some details need to be corrected) by email.

After Verification (1 step)
