To confirm your identity, you will need to provide a video where:

• You sit in front of the camera with your face clearly visible.

• You hold your government-issued ID (e.g., passport, driver’s license) along with a handwriting paper next to your face.


On the handwriting paper, you must handwrite the following information in English:

• BYDFi Request for Proof of Identity

Note: After showing the handwriting paper, hold your ID clearly visible in the video. The video must not be edited in any way.


Proof of Source of Funds

Acceptable proof of source of funds documents include:

• Bank deposit statements or pay slips to verify the legitimacy of the funds' origin.

• Investment income proof, such as stock trading records or other financial account statements.


Purpose of Transaction

Provide a written statement explaining the intention of the transaction, such as investment, payment, or fund transfer (including a detailed explanation of the source and intended use of the funds).
Hold the document next to your face and take a photo.


Proof of DepositThis video is required to show the process of depositing funds into your BYDFi account. You need to follow these steps:

• Record the process of logging into an external wallet or trading platform. The video must capture the entire login process.

• Record the steps of withdrawing coins from your external wallet and replenishing funds to BYDFi.

• The video must clearly show the Transaction ID, transaction amount, and transaction date. Be sure to take necessary precautions to protect your password or other sensitive information.


Note: The video must be recorded using a second device (e.g., recording from a mobile phone to a computer or tablet). Do not use screen recording software. The recording must show a physical device interaction.
