Do I need to complete KYC?

Do I need to complete KYC?

Yes. All Spike users must complete identity verification (KYC) in line with our partner banks’ and platforms’ regulatory requirements.

You’ll be asked to:

  • Verify your ID (with liveness check)

  • Provide Proof of Address

If you skip PoA during onboarding, you can still open a limited-use account (e.g. with MatchMove) — but completing PoA later will unlock additional features and access to more partners.
