Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need to provide my passport or another ID?
To confirm your identity and protect both you and the ecosystem.
Who sees my data?
Your documents are processed only through Sumsub. Access is limited and protected under international standards. The 8lends team does not store or directly access your data.

How long does KYC take?
Usually just a few minutes. In rare cases, it can take up to 24 hours if extra checks are needed.
What if I don’t pass KYC?
You’ll still be able to explore the platform, but investing will be inaccessible.
