Winota KYC Verification Process
Winota runs KYC checks to confirm who you are, where you live, and that the payment method you use belongs to you. The review starts after you submit documents in the account verification area and ends when Winota approves them or asks for replacements.
Winota requests verification when you withdraw funds, when your deposits or withdrawals reach internal compliance thresholds, when you change key account details (name, email, phone), or when the system flags unusual activity such as rapid deposit–withdraw patterns or logins from new locations.
Winota rejects documents that are cropped, blurry, expired, or edited. The name and date of birth must match the registration details, and the country on your documents must match the country set in your account.
- Identity (ID/Passport): A clear photo or scan of a valid passport or national ID card. If you use an ID card, Winota typically needs both sides. In some cases, Winota asks for a selfie or a short live-face check to confirm the document belongs to you.
- Address proof: A document showing your full name and current residential address, dated within the last 90 days. Accepted examples include a utility bill (electricity, gas, water), a bank statement, or an official government letter. Screenshots and handwritten notes do not pass.
- Payment method: For bank cards, Winota asks for a photo of the card showing your name and the last 4 digits. You should cover the middle digits and the CVV before uploading. For e-wallets, Winota requests a screenshot or PDF from the wallet profile page that shows your name and the wallet ID/email. For bank transfers, Winota requests a bank statement or account confirmation showing the account holder name and IBAN/account number.
Winota’s review time depends on queue size and document quality. A clean submission can be approved the same day; most checks complete within 24–48 hours, while manual follow-ups can take up to 72 hours if Winota requests re-uploads.
