Instant Account Ownership Verification

Verify wallet and exchange ownership before you transfer funds.

Reduce fraud and comply with the Travel Rule by confirming your user owns the destination account.

How It Works

How Vezgo Powers Wallet/Exchange Authentication

Vezgo operates as an identity verification layer for crypto accounts. We utilize the connection process itself as proof of ownership. When a user successfully connects an exchange account or wallet via the Vezgo widget, they must authenticate with the provider (e.g., entering their Coinbase password and 2FA). Vezgo validates these credentials with the provider in real-time.

If the connection is successful, we return a verified token to you, confirming that the user currently controls that specific account and its associated addresses.

In the world of crypto transfers, sending funds to the wrong address—or a fraudulent one—is irreversible. Vezgo offers an “Auth” solution for crypto, similar to open banking authentication, but for digital assets. Before you process a withdrawal or a payout, use Vezgo to confirm that the destination address belongs to your user.

Features

Key Features for Authentication

Exchange Account Auth
Verify that a user owns a specific account at a Centralized Exchange (CEX) without them handing over sensitive API secrets.
Address Matching
Automatically compare the withdrawal address provided by the user against the deposit addresses fetched from their connected exchange account.
Frictionless UX
Users simply select their exchange, log in via our secure portal, and ownership is verified in seconds—no micro-deposits required.
Travel Rule Compliance
Gather the necessary counterparty data to satisfy FATF and local regulations regarding transfer beneficiaries.
Zero-Knowledge Credential Handling
Vezgo verifies the connection without your servers ever touching or storing the user’s exchange login credentials, reducing your liability.
Broad “Off-Chain” Coverage
Unlike on-chain tools that only verify Web3 wallets, Vezgo authenticates ownership of custodial accounts at institutions like Coinbase, Binance, and Kraken.

Benefits

Why Vezgo for Authentication?

Stop Impersonation Fraud
Ensure you are sending funds to your customer, not a scammer controlling their screen or a compromised address.
Instant Verification
Unlike micro-deposits which take 2–3 days to settle, Vezgo authenticates ownership instantly via API connection, keeping your user momentum high.
Reduce Support Costs
Eliminate tickets related to “where is my withdrawal?” caused by users mistyping addresses. Address matching ensures the destination is valid before the transfer initiates.
Drop-In UI
Our pre-built “Connect” widget handles the complex authentication flows and 2FA challenges for every exchange, saving your frontend team hundreds of hours of work.
