KYC
Know Your Customer: the checks a provider runs before it will sell to you. In this market that ranges from an email address alone to a company registration and a photo of a passport.
Why it costs you money
It decides whether you can buy at all, and it cuts both ways. A buyer without a registered company needs a provider that takes an email address; a buyer treating an unverified network as a risk signal wants the opposite. Both are legitimate, and the requirement is rarely on the pricing page.
