Yes. Identity verification (KYC) is mandatory before you can use OKX Pay and the OKX Card in the EEA.
Why KYC is required
KYC helps to:
meet legal and regulatory requirements for financial services
prevent fraud and account misuse
protect customers and platform integrity
What to do if KYC is stuck or fails
Common reasons include:
unclear document images
mismatched personal data
unsupported document types
additional compliance checks
If your verification is delayed or rejected, follow the in-app instructions and contact OKX Support (OK Assistant) if you need help.
