The move comes as OKX doubles down on reinforcing its Know Your Customer (KYC) policy and ensuring compliance with global crypto regulations.&nbsp;</p> 
<h3 id="okx-sets-sep-21-deadline-for-completing-verification-process">OKX Sets Sep. 21 Deadline for Completing Verification Process</h3> 
<p>Crypto exchange OKX set a deadline for users to complete the advanced verification process, marking another effort to strengthen the company’s KYC policy. According to the announcement, all OKX users must complete the 3-step verification on OKX by 7 am on September 2021. Those who fail to do so will lose access to the exchange’s products and services.</p> 
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"> 
 <p>“At #OKX, we prioritize a seamless and secure trading experience. As part of this, we are transitioning to a streamlined verification process to adhere to global regulatory standards.”</p> <cite>– OKX wrote in the tweet.</cite> 
</blockquote> 
<p>The advanced verification requires basic personal information about the customer, a scan of their ID card, and face recognition information.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>KYC represents a process used by businesses, including crypto firms, to verify the identity of their customers. Strengthening KYC policies is crucial for companies as it ensures compliance with <a href="https://tokenist.com/eu-votes-for-aml-regulation-1000-limit-on-anon-crypto-transfers/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">anti-money laundering</a> (AML) and counter-terrorism financing (CTF) regulations, prevents fraudulent activities, and maintains the financial system’s integrity.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>This proved particularly important for crypto, as highlighted by the numerous hacks, money laundering attempts, and other fraudulent schemes that plagued the industry in recent years.&nbsp;</p>
