## Without ID verification

An end user can use our exchange service without having to verify his/her identity up to CHF 999 per month.

This limit is calculated on a rolling period of 30 days for a user's total exchange volume (whether swaps, on-ramps or off-ramps).

Limits are calculated in CHF and applied in equivalent in other currencies.

Below this limit, we only ask users to provide a mobile phone number that serves as the main user ID in our system, and an email address for receiving transaction notifications.

We reserve the right to ask users additional information on a given transfer or to pass KYC below those limits depending on their transaction activity.

## With ID verification

To make transactions without limits, the user must pass KYC to continue using our service. To do so, the interface will invite them to pass their identification with us. You will find more information about our identification process [here](https://www.mtpelerin.com/support#identification).

You can also see how it looks like here: <https://kyc.mtpelerin.com/>

Please note that we process 100% of users identification internally, therefore their data never leave our secured servers, they are not commercialized and no third party has access to them.

{% hint style="info" %}
We reserve the right to charge a CHF 20 fee (or equivalent) to refund non-compliant transfers.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://developers.mtpelerin.com/service-information/identity-verification.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
