KYC in IMBA Wallet: which level do you need?

IMBA Wallet has two verification levels: simplified KYC for virtual card issuance (no passport biometrics on the order form) and full one-time verification for buying and selling USDT for rubles via bank payment. USDT card top-up via TRC-20 does not require bank-payment KYC.

KYC comparison

Match verification to your scenario: card — simplified; USDT ↔ rubles — full; USDT balance deposit — no bank-payment KYC.
