OTC Prerequisite Verification and Security Setup Guide

Written by 100X

Before accessing OTC services for the first time, you must complete identity verification, bind a mobile phone number, and set up Google Authenticator. All three requirements must be completed before you can use OTC services.

What You Need

Please prepare the following:

  • A valid government-issued identity document

  • A mobile phone number that can receive SMS messages

  • Access to your registered email address

  • The Google Authenticator app

Security notice: Your legal name, identification number, identity document photos, email verification codes, SMS verification codes, Google Authenticator codes, QR codes, and setup keys are sensitive information. Never disclose them to anyone.

Step 1 Access OTC

  1. Open the app and go to the Home page.

  2. Find and tap 【OTC】 in the shortcuts section.

  3. When accessing OTC for the first time, the system will prompt you to complete:

    • Identity verification

    • Mobile phone binding

    • Google Authenticator binding

We recommend completing these requirements in the order shown above.

Step 2 Complete Identity Verification

Enter Your Identity Information

  1. Tap 【Verify Now】 next to 【Identity Verification】.

  4. Enter your full legal name exactly as it appears on your identity document.

  5. Enter your identification number and carefully check for missing digits, extra spaces, or other errors.

You must use your own accurate and valid identity information. Identity information submitted for verification may only be associated with one account.

Upload Verification Documents

Upload the following materials as instructed:

  • A photo of the front of your identity document

  • A photo of you holding your identity document

Please make sure that:

  • All four corners of the document are visible.

  • The document information is clear and readable.

  • The photos are not blurred, reflective, or obstructed.
