While optional, completing KYC offers several benefits :

BenefitDescription

Higher limitsIncreased deposit/withdrawal thresholds

Faster transaction processingReduced delays from compliance checks

Account recoveryEasier restoration if you lose access

Fraud protectionAdditional security for your account

Future perksSpecial bonuses for verified users

How to Complete KYC 

  1. Log in to your SimpleSwap account

  2. Navigate to the KYC section in account settings

  3. Choose your verification method:

    • ID check – Take a photo of a government-issued document (passport or driver's license)

    • Live face scan – Complete a liveness check (selfie)

  4. Submit your information

  5. Wait for compliance team review (approximately 24 hours)

Important: KYC is implemented through SimpleSwap's independent partner SumSub, which uses advanced security measures to handle sensitive data . Each user can only have one verified account .

KYC for Affiliate Partners 

For users participating in the Affiliate Program with API integration, verification is required:

  • Verification unlocks full access to all tools without volume limits

  • Unverified API users are limited to 2 BTC or 100,000 USDT in exchange volume

  • The verification process requires personal or company information (full name, date of birth, address, etc.)

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Issue 1: Failed or Frozen Exchange

Problem: Your exchange has been flagged by the security system or is taking a long time to process.

What SimpleSwap support says: According to user reports, exchanges may be flagged for security review, which can require KYC completion through SumSub before resolution .

Solutions:

  1. Check your exchange status in account history (if logged in)

  2. Contact SimpleSwap support via email or live chat

  3. If requested, complete KYC verification to resolve the hold

  4. Be prepared to provide transaction proof (e.g., transaction hash) to verify your deposit

Important: Some users have reported refund requests being approved after completing verification .

Issue 2: Sent Tokens to Unsupported or Old Contract Address

Problem: You sent funds to an old or unsupported token contract address that blocks outgoing transactions.

What SimpleSwap support says: Some token contracts prevent any movement of funds, making refunds technically impossible .

Solution:

  • Contact SimpleSwap support immediately with your transaction details

  • Be aware that if the contract blocks outgoing transactions, the funds may be unrecoverable

Issue 3: KYC Verification Delays

Problem: Verification is taking longer than expected or was rejected.

Solutions:

  1. Ensure your ID document photo is clear and readable

  2. Make sure your face scan is well-lit and matches your ID

  3. Wait the standard review period (approximately 24 hours) 

  4. If rejected, contact support@simpleswap.io to update your information

Issue 4: Lost Access to Unverified Account

Important limitation: If you have not completed KYC and lose access to your unverified account, recovery may be difficult or impossible. SimpleSwap's support documentation notes that verified accounts can be restored faster if access is lost .

Recommendation: Consider completing KYC if you want account recovery capabilities.

Issue 5: Can't Withdraw Rewards from Unverified Affiliate Account

Problem: Your Affiliate account is blocked or restricted due to lack of verification.

Solution: Unverified accounts can still withdraw rewards but must provide traffic source details to do so .
