1.3.4 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: I only have electronic statements and no paper copies. What should I do? A: You may submit the original electronic statement in PDF format or provide a screenshot. Screenshots must be complete, unedited, and must not be cropped or obscured.

Q2: I do not want to disclose my account balance or unrelated transactions in my bank statement. Can I redact them? A: Core information must not be redacted, including the account holder's name, account number, key income and expense records, balance records, and dates. If the redacted items relate purely to personal privacy (e.g., minor retail purchases), limited masking may be acceptable provided it does not affect the continuity or integrity of the transaction history. However, we strongly recommend submitting complete documents to improve the likelihood of approval.

Q3: What if I am unable to provide the required documents? A: To ensure your account remains fully functional and can continue to be used normally, you must complete the additional verification process and submit the required information to support account verification. If the necessary documentation is not provided, certain features or services may be restricted or temporarily unavailable until verification is completed. In cases where required documentation cannot be submitted, the platform may be unable to complete the compliance review. As a result, account functionality may remain restricted, or the business relationship may be terminated. Once you submit the relevant information, we will review it as soon as possible. If additional documentation is required, we will contact you accordingly.

Q4: I feel uncomfortable providing personal documents and financial details. A: We understand your concerns regarding the submission of documents such as salary slips and financial records. All personal information and supporting documents you provide are protected by strict security measures and will be used solely for account verification and compliance review purposes. Your information will be handled with the utmost confidentiality.

If you encounter any issues during the submission process, contact MEXC Customer Service for assistance at any time.

2. Document Review & Risk Control Analysis Process

Once you have submitted your documents, we will begin the review process. The process generally consists of two phases, though specific procedures may vary depending on your account status:

2.1 Document Review Phase

The review typically takes around 3 business days, though actual processing time may vary. We appreciate your patience and understanding.

You will be notified of the review results via in-platform messages and your registered email. Please check your inbox regularly, or visit the Account Risk Review section on the official website to track your progress.

2.2 Risk Control Analysis Phase

Each account is unique, and our risk control system performs dynamic assessments based on various factors to determine whether further analysis is required. In some cases, after passing the document review, the system will initiate a risk control analysis for a more comprehensive evaluation.

You can view the estimated analysis duration on the Account Risk Review page. This timeframe is for reference only and reflects the current system estimate.

During the analysis, the system may request additional documents. Please pay attention to on-screen or email notifications and submit the requested materials promptly.
While the review and risk control analysis are in progress, certain account functions may remain restricted. These limitations cannot be lifted manually or ahead of schedule.
Please do not submit duplicate documents, as this may disrupt the system’s verification process and delay your review.
In special cases, your risk status may change dynamically based on updated system assessments. Please refer to the actual status shown in your account for the most accurate information.

3. Completion of Risk Review & Notification

Once your account's risk review is complete, a notification will be sent via in-platform message and to your registered email address. Please check your inbox in a timely manner to confirm your account’s final risk status.

Reminder:

1）To safeguard your account security and funds, when you initiate a withdrawal request, the system may require you to complete KYC facial verification based on the actual circumstances. Please follow the on-screen instructions to ensure the withdrawal is processed smoothly.

2）If your account's trading functions remain restricted, such status reflects the conclusion of this risk review. The related restrictions are not eligible for removal at this time.

If you have any questions about the review outcome or account functionality, please contact MEXC's online Customer Service via the official website. Thank you for your understanding and support.
