  • Updated

Any user who wants to complete user verification in a personal capacity (i.e. not as a Corporate entity) will be asked to provide a photo ID, and proof of address, record a video, as well as answer a few multiple-choice questions about the source of funds and trading experience.

We recommend that users use a mobile device to go through this process as it is easier, and image quality is usually better. 

 

All images should be in colour, in focus, and contain one ID document/face, without any object or framing obscuring or cutting off any part of the subject.
