We are extremely excited to inform our loyal community that we have finalized a strategic partnership with SelfKey, to make registration to our exchange a simple, stress-free and hassle-free process.

Having polled our community on what they would like to see from our upcoming exchange, they told us in no uncertain terms, they want a seamless registration process. This means being able to register and access your account without frustrating security delays and verification processes. If you want to trade right now, you can’t wait for a back office team to sit and sift through and perhaps even translate your supporting documentation. The markets wait for no man…

SelfKey proposes to change all of this. Any KYC information you provide to the SelfKey platform, with your consent, will be reused to automatically fill out forms and upload copies of your documents to our trade.io exchange. This is because SelfKey has already done the hard work in verifying your identity.

What are KYC documents you ask?

These are usually forms of identification that allow companies to verify that their clients are real people. These documents are usually government authorised IDs or passports as well as proof of address and sometimes even utility bills or statements.

Think back on your own experience signing up for crypto exchanges. Was it a happy, quick process? Doing a quick poll in the office right now, not one of us had such a positive experience. Together, trade.io and SelfKey can try to blast this frustration into oblivion.

No more rooting around for your passport or ID. No more starting the upload process again when your wifi is interrupted halfway through, no more sifting through old mail for proof of address. If you want to trade cryptos, we want you to make that trade at the price that you want it, and not a moment later.

As part of our exciting partnership, we’re also planning to list the SelfKey Token (KEY) on our upcoming exchange, and very soon we’ll be announcing an airdrop, so stay tuned to our social channels for more information.

What do both companies say about the partnership?

Jim Preissler, CEO of trade.io commented: “We are pleased to partner with SelfKey as their KEY token has traded over 1 billion dollars in the last week, and we feel their approach to Self Sovereign identity is secure, efficient, and will integrate perfectly with our exchange.”

Edmund Lowell, Founder, SelfKey commented: “We are pleased to announce our partnership with trade.io as they are one of the most promising new exchanges of 2018.”
