Knowledge test FAQ
What is this test all about?
The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has introduced new guidelines on consumer protection measures for digital payment token (DPT) service providers. The knowledge test (also referred to as a "risk awareness assessment") is designed to ensure that retail customers are aware of the key risks involved in using DPT services.
Who needs to take this test?
The risk awareness assessment is required for all individual retail customers registered with OKX Singapore. It will be triggered once you have completed identity verification on your account. This doesn't apply to corporate or institutional customers.

.Why do I need to complete the knowledge test?

This risk awareness assessment is mandatory for retail customers to complete in order to avoid restrictions to DPT services starting from 19 June 2025.
