## Why You Need KYC to Access Falcon Finance
If you want to deposit funds or trade Real World Assets (RWA) on Falcon Finance, you'll need to go through a Know Your Customer (KYC) process. This is a standard identity verification procedure that's required for every user.
The reason we do this is to follow Anti-Money Laundering (AML) rules. It helps make sure Falcon Finance is a safe and secure place to do business, specially now that the platform handles Real-World Assets (RWA).
## What to Expect During KYC
The KYC process starts when you try to do things like deposit funds. Here's a step-by-step look at what you'll need to do:
### 1. Getting Started
First, you'll click on Get my KYC/KYB link. Make sure you choose Individual as your account type. This will give you a unique QR code and a link that takes you to the verification page.
### 2. What Information Do You Need
Be ready to provide some personal details:
* **Where You're Located:** Your country of residence and email address.
* **Your ID:** A government-issued ID like a passport, driver's license, or resident card. The options may vary depending on the country that issued it.
* **Money Stuff:** Details about your job, where your funds come from, and whether you have any political connections.
### 3. Proof of Address
This is important! You'll need to prove where you live with a document that meets these requirements:
* **Name and Address:** The document must clearly show your full name and current home address.
* **Keep it Recent:** The document can't be older than 3 months.
* **What Works:** Things like bank statements, utility or tax bills, official government letters, or lease agreements are usually accepted.
## How Long Does It Take?
The verification process can take anywhere from a few minutes to five business days. Keep in mind that it might take longer when the market is really active.
If your application is denied, don't worry! You'll just need to submit the documents or extra information again. Make sure to read the feedback closely, and try again! Note that if your documents still fail to meet regulatory requirement, the rejection decision will be final.
## Quick Tips
The KYC process is important as it maintains high security standards in trading. Here are a few ways to avoid delays:
* Use high-quality scans or photos of your documents.
* Make sure the documents are recent (less than three months old).
* Take the photos in a well-lit room.
* Don't edit the images in any way.
