Can I create a Bitvavo account for multiple people or a group?

Summary: No. A Bitvavo account is personal and linked to your identity verification. Each person must register their own account and make deposits from a bank account in their own name.

Introduction: Bitvavo accounts are personal. They are linked to one verified identity to help keep your funds secure and to meet compliance requirements. Sharing an account with other people or using it on behalf of a group is not allowed.

Account ownership and deposits

  1. Individual ownership only
    Your Bitvavo account must be registered in your own name and tied to your completed identity verification. Shared or group use is not permitted.
  2. Deposits must come from your own bank account
    You can only make a deposit from a bank account that is in your own name (the same name used during identity verification).
  3. No group access
    If other people want to buy, sell, or hold assets, they should create their own personal Bitvavo account.
  4. Security and compliance
    Completing identity verification helps protect your account and ensures we follow applicable regulations.
Warning: Deposits made from someone else’s bank account will be automatically rejected and returned.
