When I first read this I was confused as how this is possible. Then I read this How it works Bity is a fully regulated and audited brokerage company based in Switzerland, providing leading crypto finance services for clients all over the world. Bity operates a network of crypto ATMs across five cities in Switzerland, with more locations coming soon. While accessing your crypto funds through a Bity ATM is very convenient if you are in Switzerland, the MEW V5 integration lets our users take advantage of Bity’s crypto-fiat gateway from any part of the world. Man the Swiss sure know their banking gateway workarounds lol https://medium.com/myetherwallet/mew-introduces-first-kyc-less-crypto-exit-to-fiat-gateway-powered-by-bity-a24b6aa3e3c4 (same source as OP)

Really interesting. So Anyone could use their ATM to exchange ETH for fiat using MEW. And it is up to 5000USD. BUT, you will have to give a phone number, your bank account information and other identification numbers. I do not think it is right say "without KYC" and them asking for those details.

If you do try to read it up again you would really realize that the statement itself is really contradicting.When we do talk or metioned KYC-less then its really totally free from gather possible informations into its users but to think off on how you would transfer your converted cash to your bank accounts if you wont give out that necessary information? You wont really have any choice.

I think KYC-less when you would still be required to give out phone number etc , is still same of same. The data will be there in the web to access , just my mind...

KYC-less is about the part if you use ATM on the spot.In that case you don't need your bank account to cash out, only phone number. It is easy to get a phone number without any info attached to it.

That system will not work here iny my country.
Central Banks here will not allow that kind of system especially if it's crypto related. There should be KYC. The company must comply with the terms since crypto related firm is almost related to banking system.
Anyways that's a nice feature and hope that it will bring advantages for those crypto users there.

KYC process is time consuming and that's the only reason why i want to skip it. Otherwise i don't personally dislike KYC. This MEW gateway will be convenient for users to exchange their assets (cryptos or fiat). But i beleive still we need KYC implementation worldwide for global adoption of cryptos.

Exactly, you still have to give a lot of information and although it will not be save, but still you are giving away so much data here that I wouldn't say its without KYC, to be honest. I thought it was just your phone number for verification or something, but it's not so I don't know who the crypto sphere will react on this one.

What is KYC- less after giving out your phone number and bank details which of course contain your vital information invariably you had already given out or reveal your identities via those two media both phone number and bank account requires full details of owner thus you are indirectly doing KYC.

We would really go into that path no matter what.When we do mention about global adoption then KYC thing is always tied up so its better for yourself to get used on how things would be done with these transactions. This situation isnt a KYC less since you do still give out various informations about you.

It's not all that same, KYC mostly demands for valid identification or passports which has the user IDs number and other sensitive data. Phone numbers is still considerable regarding the fact that may users might want to protect their account through 2fA authentication which is effective for more security purpose than mere password. If they can truly keep to their words in protecting the phone number as promised.. then it's a plus.

Well sure MEW won't store the information (phone number, full name, billing address, iban), but what about bity? I'm not sure how can they be regulated and not store it. But i guess it's better than undergoing an actual kyc... tho bity's reputation would be a different story, I don't know much about them.

I don't have any issues with phone number, that is like giving no data at all to me. SMS cards cost less then 20 cents or so, you can use one SMS card / one phone number for one transaction. Burner phone is cheap.

But what about your bank details? I doubt it they won't save this and bity will be more like a third party? Even this feature will be available in my country I wouldn't trust this, it will be like a double kill for me. Why not leave MEW the way it is, definitely innovation is good but if it will just compromise the privacy then it's another story.

Yeah, probably MEW should be stay on their true passion as a wallet but maybe they need to innovate at some point. But we all know that we don't like this kind of stuff though, most of crypto users are very passionate about data protection so it might back fired on them as some point, just saying. And yes, I won't used that feature because I simply won't blindly trust anyone specially with my personal info no matter what safety net they're going to used.

Most users wish to be anonymous in the cryptocurrency network. This feature will take away the anonymous feature of the user, though it is good to use most won't be giving a try. Later years when the crypto usage around the world increases more people might prefer these services.

OK, fine. Bank account and phone number? Still KYC but if that's the only thing required, and the information isn't stored, it's a heck of a lot better than what I'm used to. I verified even for my LBC account so there's that.
Now if I can access this even from outside EEA, without paying Bity fees, this is a gem. I'll be trying this out as soon as possible once I've read all the pertinent.

I use BTC atm's regularly, but didn't have a chance to try it out this way yet. It would be cool if you share the impressions after you try it out.

Does anyone know what the fees are like for this? If it's cheaper than coinbase then people are going to switch, especially without the kyc requirement
