Trading Account Verification

Are you going to deposit into your account using a bank card, wire transfer or existing securities? To do so, your account needs to be verified.

Venture Bell follows strict AML rules regarding deposits.

Cryptocurrency deposits do not need to be verified. Business account verification depends on jurisdiction, please ask a representative for more information. To be an accredited investor, you must meet specific criteria and follow certain guidelines.

In order to verify your account, we will ask you to provide us with copies of three basic documents:

1. Proof of your identity
2. Proof of your residential address
3. Proof of deposit

PROOF OF ID

To prove your identity, you may provide us with a copy of your Passport, Driver’s License or National Identification Card.

• Document must be valid
• Copy has to be in colour (black and white copies will not be approved)
• All information on the document must be clear and visible (copy cannot be blurry)
• All corners and edges of the document must be visible (document cannot be cropped)

PROOF OF RESIDENCE

In order to prove your residential address, you will be asked to provide us with a copy of your recent Utility Bill (gas, water, electric, TV/Internet, landline phone or a bank statement). The issuing date of the document cannot be older than 3 months. Electronically generated documents (e-bills/ e-statements) are not accepted. It means that we can only approve documents, which:

• are arriving directly to your residential address by post, or
• have been obtained directly from the provider (i.e. a bank statement that you have obtained from your local bank branch)
• All information on the document must be clear and visible (copy cannot be blurry)
• All corners and edges of the document must be visible (document cannot be cropped)
