BitoEX uses the FaceMe® eKYC system to verify new users to its crypto exchange

• Location: Taiwan
• Industry: Financial services
• Year founded: 2014
• Membership size: 300,000+

• Difficult identity verification because users are all virtually located
• Approval process, on average, takes 10 days:
  • Users not only need to upload ID cards but also take selfies while showing personal information and ID cards
  • Staff need to manually compare information and ensure that details aren’t modified or forged
• Potential loss of business from users not completing the process for various reasons

BitoEX used FaceMe’s facial recognition technology to fully automate its data verification process, accelerate the approval process, and prevent anti-spoofing. Staff only needed to perform the final confirmation, saving on labor costs. This also meant that review times were shortened from 10 days to one day, allowing users to quickly go online. At present, BitoEX is the only crypto exchange in Taiwan that provides the security provided by eKYC verification.
