Huobi takes security seriously and has implemented robust measures to protect user accounts. Being incorporated in Singapore, where cryptocurrency regulations are advanced, adds to the platform’s credibility. To ensure account security, Huobi offers multiple security mechanisms, including two-factor authentication (2FA). Users can choose to enable 2FA through SMS or authenticator apps, providing an additional layer of protection against unauthorized access. These security features help safeguard user accounts and enhance the overall security of the platform.

After successfully creating an account and verifying their email address, Huobi requires users to undergo a name and nationality verification process. It is essential that the user’s name on Huobi matches exactly with the name on their linked bank accounts.

To complete the nationality verification, users are required to upload scanned copies of government-issued identification documents such as passports, driver’s licenses, social insurance numbers, military certificates, etc. In addition to this, users are also requested to provide a selfie holding the same government-issued document used for verification. As part of the verification process, users are further required to provide screenshots of the three most recent deposit transactions made into their Huobi account. These documents and snapshots will be reviewed by the Huobi team for compliance and security purposes.
