Do I need to complete KYC?

Yes, a one-time identity verification (KYC) is required to activate your virtual Visa card.
We've designed this process with your privacy as the top priority. The verification is handled by our trusted card-issuing partner and is completely siloed. This means it applies only to your Tangem Pay account. Your main wallet's assets, history, and privacy remain completely untouched. Tangem never sees your personal verification data.

What do I need to get started?

To get started, you’ll need:

1. A Tangem Wallet.
2. A supported smartphone (iOS/Android).
3. Valid ID to complete KYC.
4. A residency address in one of the supported countries.

How do I sign up for Tangem Pay?

Once you pass KYC verification, your Tangem Pay account is activated, and you receive your virtual Visa card instantly. You can then deposit USDC on Polygon and start spending.
