Overview of the OKX Corporate Account Registration Process

To open a corporate account on OKX (formerly OKEx), you must first complete the basic account registration and then undergo enterprise-level KYB (Know Your Business) verification. KYB is an identity verification process designed by OKX for institutional clients, aimed at preventing financial crimes such as money laundering, fraud, and terrorist financing, and ensuring the platform operates securely and in compliance with regulations.

  1. Registering for an OKX Account:
    • Visit the official OKX website, click “Register,” or enter your email address on the homepage and select “Try OKX.”
    • Select your country or region, read and agree to the Terms of Service.
    • Enter your email address and any referral code (if applicable). You will receive a six-digit verification code; enter it within 10 minutes to complete email verification.
    • Enter your phone number and verify it. You will receive a six-digit SMS verification code; enter it within 10 minutes to complete phone verification.
    • Set a secure account password.

Information and Documents Required for OKX KYB Corporate Verification

OKX’s KYB process requires businesses to provide a set of basic identification information, supported by relevant supporting documents, to verify the identity of the organization and its associated individuals.

1. Basic Company Information

  • Company Type: Specify your company’s legal structure, such as a private company, nonprofit organization, partnership, or publicly traded company.
  • Company Details: Provide the company’s full legal name, registration number, date of registration, registered address, principal place of business (if different from the registered address), and country/region of registration. Please ensure the company address matches the address on your Certificate of Incorporation or Business Registration Certificate.
  • Description of Business Activities: Briefly describe the nature of the company’s business and its scope of operations.

2. Key Personnel Information

OKX will require the company to provide detailed information about its key personnel, including:

  • Senior Officers/Managers: At least one individual with significant control, management, or supervisory responsibilities over the company, such as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Chief Operating Officer (COO), managing member, general partner, president, vice president, or chief financial officer.
  • Directors: Members of the company’s board of directors (if any), responsible for governing and overseeing the company, as well as formulating high-level strategies and operations.
  • Ultimate Beneficial Owners (UBOs): Individuals who ultimately own and/or exercise ultimate control over the company. This includes cases where control is exercised through a chain of ownership or indirect means.

  • Partnership Agreement (if your company is a partnership).
  • Articles of Incorporation.
  • List of Directors.
  • Register of Shareholders or Beneficial Ownership Structure Diagram (must be signed and dated within the past 12 months).

Please ensure that all documents are up-to-date, valid, and in a language accepted by OKX, or accompanied by a notarized translation.

Submission and Review

After filling out all required information and uploading the necessary documents, you will need to read and sign the agreement, then submit your application. Once submitted, the application status will show as “Under Review.” OKX’s onboarding team may contact you via email to request additional information. We recommend that you carefully review all information before submission to ensure accuracy and minimize delays. You can check Svmuu for the latest updates on OKX corporate account KYB certification and any changes to the requirements.

Once your application is approved, the status will change to “Approved.” In some cases, the OKX team may schedule a meeting with you to sign the membership agreement. The entire KYB process is designed to protect the OKX platform through fraud prevention, anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing (CTF) controls, as well as ownership transparency.

Important Notes

  • Web-only: The KYB verification process is currently available only on the OKX web platform.
  • Difference Between KYC and KYB: Individual accounts undergo KYC (Know Your Customer), while corporate accounts undergo KYB (Know Your Business). Accounts that have completed individual KYC cannot be directly converted to corporate KYB; a new account must be created for corporate verification.
  • Number of Accounts: According to the OKX User Agreement, each individual or legal entity is permitted to register only one account.
  • Authorized User Changes: If you need to change the authorized user for a corporate account, you must provide a new letter of authorization, along with the new authorized person’s proof of identity and proof of residence.
