How Do I Open an Account on KuCoin?

We all know how common crypto trading is these days. But before starting to trade, you need a crypto exchange account. Without one, you cannot buy or sell cryptocurrency. One of your options is KuCoin. If you are looking for detailed instructions on opening an account on this exchange, you've come to the right place. Let's get started!

Sign Up on the Site

The registration process on KuCoin is pretty straightforward. First and foremost, go to the site and find the "Sign Up" button. By clicking on it, you will see a form that needs to be filled out.

Here is what you will need to provide:

  • Your email address

  • A password

  • Referral ID (optional)

Note that the password must be strong enough. It is advisable to use letters, numbers and special characters. After filling out the form, don't forget to agree to KuCoin's Terms of Use and Privacy Policy by ticking the appropriate boxes. You can call customer support to learn about the terms and conditions. When you are done, click on the "Create Account" button.

As soon as you click on the "Create Account" button, KuCoin will send you a message to the email address indicated during registration. In this letter, you will find a verification link. By clicking on it, you activate your account.

Now that your account is active, you can log in to KuCoin.

After you log in, KuCoin will ask you to enter your data. The exchange needs this information to comply with KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) policies. On the "User Center" page, click on the "Identity Verification" tab and fill out the form. You will need to upload your ID (a passport for international users or a national ID for Chinese citizens) and a selfie with this document. The photo must be high-quality, and all four corners of the document should be visible. Make sure the text on the ID is legible.

Once you are done, click on the "Submit" button. The KuCoin team will review your application and get back to you within 48 hours.

Use the App to Create an Account

If you want to trade on KuCoin using your smartphone, download the official app. The registration process is similar to the one described above. After installing the app, open it and click on the "Sign Up" button. Then enter your email address and password, agree to the Terms of Use, and click on the "Register" button. Check your email and click on the verification link to activate your account. Now you can log in to KuCoin using the app.

What if I Experience Issues?

If you have any problems with registration or can't find the "Sign Up" button, contact the KuCoin customer support. The team will be happy to assist you and solve all your issues. Some of the most common problems include :

  • Not receiving the verification code

  • Not being able to click on the verification link

  • Forgetting the password

If you experience any of these issues or have any other questions, please feel free to reach out to KuCoin customer support.

Why does GetHuman Write How-to Guides for KuCoin Problems?

GetHuman has been working for over 10 years on sourcing information about big organizations like Comcast in order to help customers resolve customer service issues faster. We started with contact information and fastest ways to reach a human at big companies. Particularly ones with slow or complicated IVR or phone menu systems. Or companies that have self-serve help forums instead of a customer service department. From there, we realized that consumers still needed more detailed help solving the most common problems, so we expanded to this set of guides, which grows every day. And if you spot any issues with our What do I do if my Xfinity TV or internet is out? guide, please let us know by sending us feedback. We want to be as helpful as possible. If you appreciated this guide, please share it with your favorite people. Our free information and tools is powered by you, the customer. The more people that use it, the better it gets.
