1) Over half of new KYCs to FTX are reviewed within a minute. Some take a lot longer. Want to be KYCed quickly? Here's a checklist!

2) a) Is your full legal name "Jim"? If so, great, writing "Jim" down is a great start! b) Is your full address "15 main"? If so, don't put any city or country or district or anything, because apparently those aren't a thing where you are!

3) c) See where we say that it'll be a lot faster if you use the default process? Well, fuck the system! Ya, maybe that'll help! d) If your phone is low and you can only submit _one_ picture, then submitting the same thing for ID, ID back, and selfie is understandable!

4) e) Want to try putting down a different country than your docs or address just to see what will happen? Sure, do it, you'll see what will happen! f) Do you prefer blurry photos to being KYCed quickly? If so, consider putting some mud on your camera first!

5) And, finally, there are some people who do everything right and still aren't quick. I'm really sorry about that! We're working on getting faster.

This is taking days meanwhile - same system or?

My first two verifications failed and the third one was finally the good one. Each took at least a week to get an answer.

For someone (like me) waiting for a little over a week now for KYC it would be helpful to know why or where in the process it is going wrong. Sth like ‘vague picture’ or ‘incomplete address’ would give me a chance to resubmit and help speed up the process.

Yeah agree with this, fairly sure my submission was decent but waiting since Friday.

KYC level 2 is hell. Its been more than 24 hours, market has closed and still not able to trade. You guys really need to pick up on this.

what do you do with Americans who, without realizing because say they were overseas, put money on FTX instead of FTX.us? Is there a process for getting it transferred?
