👁️ Verify your identity, bank account, and intention to buy crypto

Current verification processing time: Loading…

British regulations require cryptoasset providers to verify their customers. The process only takes a couple of minutes and, after verifying, each purchase will only take a few minutes to complete. All files are securely stored on a LUKS-encrypted air-gapped device and only shared with my bank or law enforcement if criminal activity is suspected. You’ll need to send:

  1. A photo of an identity document (a few seconds to take this photo)
  2. A PDF bank statement (a minute to download this from your banking app)
  3. A short video declaration (30 seconds to read this out)

Please see below for full details of these requirements.

📄 Required File 1

A clear photo of your passport’s photo page (most nationalities are accepted), or both sides of a British driving licence / residence permit. Please make sure that all details are clearly visible and that no edges are cut off.

Legal basis: Regulations require me to verify who you are and your geographic ties (nationality / place of birth).

📄 Required File 2

An unmodified PDF bank statement (not a screenshot) downloaded from the banking app or website that you will use to make payments. This should show:

  1. Your name
  2. Your address
  3. Your sort code and account number
  4. The last two months of transactions

You can submit statements for as many bank accounts you would like to make payments from, and submit further statements in the future if you decide to pay from a new account.

Legal basis: Regulations require me to verify your holdership of the account(s), your residential address, and your ‘source of funds’.

📄 Required File 3

Please record a ‘selfie’ video of yourself HOLDING UP YOUR PASSPORT / DRIVING LICENCE / BRP while reading out these six sentences:

  1. “I, [YOUR FULL NAME], am buying crypto from Zed Zeroth for my own use and not under pressure from anyone else.”
  2. “I understand that if I send crypto to someone else then I may never get it back.”
  3. “My registered email account and bank accounts are under my full control.”
  4. “The money I am using to buy crypto comes from [e.g. salary, savings, benefits…]”
  5. “I am buying crypto to use for [e.g. investing, online shopping, international transfers…]”
  6. “I expect to spend [e.g. £100 per week, £1000 per month…]”

Legal basis: Regulations require me to verify your ‘liveness’ (that it is really you wanting to buy crypto) as well as your reason for buying crypto.
