No-KYC
Short definition
Service operates without Know-Your-Customer identity verification — no government ID, no proof of address, no phone verification.
KYC (Know-Your-Customer) refers to identity-verification procedures that traditionally apply to financial services. The basic KYC tier requires legal name, residential address, and date of birth; enhanced KYC adds government ID, proof of address, and sometimes biometric verification. KYC is mandated for banks, brokerages, regulated crypto exchanges, and most card-processing relationships.
'No-KYC' offshore hosting means the host does not perform any of the above on customers. The host accepts pseudonymous signup (with email entirely optional, or as a contact channel only), accepts crypto for payment (which has no banking KYC), and doesn't request ID at any point. Some hosts offer no-KYC at lower volumes and add KYC at higher purchase tiers (Shinjiru does this). Others — including SilentHosts and Privex — never request KYC regardless of order size.
