I want to use a crypto ATM to buy or sell cryptocurrencies, but I'm concerned about privacy. Do these machines require Know Your Customer (KYC) identity verification like traditional financial institutions?

For most crypto ATM machines, the only requirement is a mobile phone number that supports SMS. This allows users to quickly and easily complete their transactions without needing to provide extensive personal information.

Despite this convenience, larger transactions may still require identification. This is a security measure to prevent fraud and ensure that the transactions are being conducted by legitimate users.

While the lack of KYC verification offers a higher level of privacy, it also comes with a cost. The anonymity provided by these machines can be exploited for illegal activities, such as money laundering or the purchase of illegal goods and services.
