How do I start onboarding as an institutional user?

Published on Oct 10, 2024Updated on Oct 20, 20242 min read6

To start using your institutional account, you have to verify your identity and complete the Know Your Business (KYB) requirements with us. This is required in order to keep your account and assets secure.

The verification process ensures our exchange is safe and prevents fraud from taking place, alongside other illegal activities. You can trade, deposit and make withdrawals after you've completed your identity verification.

Getting started

  1. Log in to your account and head over to the verification page. Find out how you can register an account here

  2. Proceed to hover on the profile menu and select Verification

  3. Once you're on the page, find Institutional verification and select the Verify institution option
    Note: the Institutional verification process is only available on the Web platform.
