The basic verification on the Binance platform is now expected to take one day to complete. Verifying all documents, including official identification, facial verification, and evidence of residential address, will take a total of around 20 days.

Binance has increased its attempts to combat the received criticism, mostly from regulators throughout the world. The firm also limited the withdrawal for a person who has not completed his full KYC verification since July 28.

The daily withdrawal limit for unverified Binance users has been reduced to 0.06 Bitcoin (BTC) from the previous maximum of 2 BTC as a result of CEO Changpeng Zhao’s declaration.

Zhao has also stated his desire to collaborate with regulators, as the exchange has lately been cautioned for operating without a license in a number of countries.
