Common Reasons for KYC Rejection

Your KYC application may be rejected if:

  • Documents are blurry, cropped, or low quality

  • Documents are expired

  • Name or address does not match your account details

  • Required documents were missing or incomplete

  • Suspected fraudulent or altered documents are detected

What Happens After a Rejection?

1. Rejection Notification
