Overview
Identity verification (KYC) is a step in the INGOT account journey required by our regulator before you can fund a live trading account. This article explains what KYC is at a high level and where to find it inside your INGOT account.
Where to Find This in the INGOT Website
- Inside your INGOT Client Portal at portal.ingotbrokers.com, in the Verification (KYC) section of your account dashboard.
- Access prompted automatically during the account opening journey, after email confirmation.
Important Notes
- KYC is required by our regulator (FSA Seychelles, License SD117) — it is a standard part of opening a regulated trading account.
- A demo account does not require KYC. KYC is required only for live (real-money) trading accounts.
- For detailed steps — what documents are required, how to upload them, expected processing times, and troubleshooting — please refer to our dedicated KYC guide.
