Yes, it is. During the onboarding process at Binance, we do employ automated decision-making. It is widely used in our Know-Your-Customer (KYC) procedures. When you send us your documents, along with a photo and a live video, we use automation to accurately verify your identity, ensuring we comply with Anti-Money-Laundering (AML) regulations globally.
However, we're aware that this process isn't perfect, and sometimes errors can occur. A classic example is when twin siblings attempt to set up separate accounts. Our system might mistakenly interpret this as one person trying to open two accounts under different names. There are other unique scenarios that might also lead to inaccuracies.
Because we understand that these situations can arise, we've made sure to equip our app with relevant support features. If you need assistance, simply follow these steps in the app or webpage:
- Open the app/webpage and sign in to your account.
- Navigate to your profile and select the headphone/chat icon.
- Click on "View more" on the Self-Service section and Scroll down to the KYC section.
- Select the option that best suits your need, like "Failed Facial Verification Appeal", or "Appeal KYC Rejection."
If you follow these steps, we'll forward your request to one of our dedicated KYC Customer Support Agents. They'll take a closer look at your case with a manual review to ensure everything's in order. After a thorough check, they'll get back to you with an updated response.
