How it works

Six steps to a live account

One flow verifies the company and everyone who controls it.

01

Company details

Legal name, registration number, country, trading name, sector, turnover and expected volume.

02

Ownership

Declare every beneficial owner (25%+) and director; declared ownership must total 100%.

03

Company documents

Upload the corporate pack — incorporation, articles, ownership and proof of address.

04

Verify the people

Each owner and director completes identity verification — by email invite or in one session.

05

Screening

Sanctions, PEP and adverse-media checks on the company and every individual.

06

Decision

Instant on a clean pass; a short review where a document or flag needs a closer look.

United Kingdom

Extra steps for UK customers

UK rules treat cryptoassets as high-risk investments. Each UK owner or director completing onboarding also goes through four further steps required by the Financial Conduct Authority before the account can transact.

01

Client categorisation

The individual confirms whether they are a restricted, high-net-worth or certified sophisticated investor.

02

24-hour cooling-off

First-time customers wait 24 hours before they can proceed.

03

Personalised risk warning

The individual reviews and accepts a risk warning tailored to them.

04

Appropriateness assessment

A short check that this product is appropriate for their knowledge and experience.

Documents

The lean end of a full corporate file — heavier evidence only where risk requires it.

Is your sector eligible?

Eligibility depends on your sector, your jurisdiction and your licensing, and there are sectors we cannot serve. Ask us before you apply and we will tell you either way.

Onboarding as an individual?

Sole traders and freelancers are reviewed individually — the legal form carries more risk than an incorporated company, so expect additional checks.
