A few things before we jump in. We need to verify your ID to make sure it’s really you trading. This process is known as Know Your Customer (KYC). It’s legally required, and there’s no way around it. Luckily, we’ve made the process easy and painless (promise).

Here’s how to verify your ID.

  1. First, select the state and country you’re in.

  2. Add a photo of your ID (you can take a photo using your device or upload a photo).

    1. A driver’s license or passport works.

  3. Center your face and follow the prompts on the screen for the facial recognition step.

  4. Enter your legal first name, last name, and date of birth exactly as it appears on your government ID. Your application will be rejected if your information doesn’t match your ID.

  5. Enter the following information:

    1. US phone number

    2. Social security number

    3. Current residential address (no PO box)

  6. Review your information to make sure it’s accurate. If everything looks good, hit Submit.

  7. If you get an error message, double-check the information you submitted and try again.

Once you complete your KYC registration, Exponential will verify your ID. If you get an error message, please contact [email protected].

Two-factor authentication (2FA) is an extra layer of security that helps keep your account safe. You can use your favorite 2FA app for your account, like Google Authenticator, Okta, etc. This is required.

  1. Scan or enter the code into your 2FA app of choice.

  2. Click Confirm.

  3. Log in.
