Why is Additional Verification Required?
For customers based within the US, payments ≥ 3000 USD, payments to merchants in the EU, or refunds ≥ 1000 USD require users to provide additional verification (verification requirements may differ by region and/or amount) by obtaining a BitPay ID.
Customers based within the EU are required to successfully complete a one-time user identification on transactions valued ≥ 1,000 euros. Read more about our updated KYC threshold for customers in the European Union.
