KYC

KYC – Security is our standard.

Trust is not built through words, but through verifiable processes. That is why our KYC framework is clearly structured, technically secured, and built according to the principle of least privilege.

At Quantum, Know Your Customer does not only mean identity verification — it also means protecting your assets, securing your API access, and safeguarding your data.

Security first. No compromises.

Why KYC is essential at Quantum

Digital assets require digital responsibility.

As soon as API interfaces are used, a technical connection is created between your broker account and our systems. This connection must be clearly identifiable, secured, and traceable.

Our KYC process ensures:

That the account holder is identical to the broker account holder
That API access is configured exclusively with the minimum required permissions
That every step is documented in an audit-compliant manner
That every step is documented in an audit-compliant manner
That data protection and data security are integral parts of the process
That no sensitive secrets are disclosed or stored

“Security at Quantum is not an add-on — it is the foundation.”

What you can rely on:
1.

Invitation to a secure online call

You will receive an invitation to a structured online meeting.

Guided API key creation

The API key is created exclusively by you.

Quantum accompanies the process live and verifies the settings.

As soon as the API secret could become visible, screen sharing is paused.
Secrets must never be shown, transmitted, or stored.

Zero tolerance for API secrets.

3.

Verification of API permissions

Only the following permissions are allowed:

  • Data Reading
  • Spot & Margin Trading

Specifically not permitted are:

API access enables system connections to your broker account. Without clear identity and permission verification, a security risk arises. Our process ensures that only authorized persons are granted access.
Does Quantum store my API secret?
No. API secrets are neither displayed nor stored. As soon as a secret could become visible, screen sharing is paused.
Can Quantum execute withdrawals through my API?
No. Withdrawal permissions are technically excluded and not permitted.
How is my data protected?
KYC data is stored exclusively in approved internal systems.
Access is role-based, logged, and controlled.
Who performs the KYC?
Only trained Quantum employees — mandatory under the four-eyes principle.
