Why Complete KYC Before Lending?

Bitfinex requires intermediate identity verification before you can enable deposits and lending.

Registration Steps

  1. Sign up on the official website using your email
  2. Set a strong password (mix of upper/lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters)
  3. Enable 2FA (Google Authenticator)

Documents Required for Intermediate KYC

  • Two forms of ID (choose two of: national ID card, driver's license, passport)
  • Proof of address (utility bill, credit card statement, tax document, etc.), must be in English or bilingual (Chinese/English), and reflect your current residential address

Common Snags for Taiwan Users

  • KYC review may take 1–2 weeks
  • Proof of address rejected most often due to language mismatch or not reflecting current residence
  • Be sure to enable 2FA before proceeding
  • Review Bitfinex's Terms of Service regarding prohibited/restricted jurisdictions to confirm your eligibility

Next Steps After Completion

Once KYC is approved, you can make a deposit — see the Bitfinex Deposit Guide — then transfer funds into your Funding wallet to start lending.

Once your account is ready, you can start lending automatically. Try Kindo free for 14 days. → Free 14-Day Trial
