Personal KYC

Previously, to access Fern’s USD wallet, USD payment features, and onramps and offramps, you had to be using Fern for business purposes and complete the Know Your Business (KYB) process. Now, individuals can gain access to the full power of Fern by completing Fern KYC.

If you’ve created an account as an individual for personal use on Fern, you’ll see a prompt to supercharge your account by completing KYC. We are currently able to support US-based individuals, and KYC for other regions is coming soon.

Once you’re verified, you’ll have access to instant, free on/offramps, a USD wallet that can make and receive ACH payments, and so much more.

Google login

We’re constantly working on ways to make it even easier to use Fern. This week, we introduced Google login, so you can now create or log into an account using Google auth. If you’ve already created your Fern account with email/password, you can still use Google auth to log in using the same email address you used to sign up. No manual linking required, and your 2FA setup will still just work.
