Based on applicable rules and regulations as supervised by the Dutch Central Bank, Bitvavo is required to ask for certain information before we can offer our services. This is required as, in Europe, the use of cryptocurrency is identified as an activity that may involve increased risk.
What kind of questions will be raised?
Bitvavo is required to ask the following questions:
-
What is the purpose for which you wish to use your Bitvavo account?
-
What is the origin of the funds you wish to use?
After completing the above mentioned question, we, in principle, have all the required information for you to use your account. We might require more information or documentation if you want to have personally tailored deposit limits.
Privacy
We understand that you value your privacy, and we do everything we can to safeguard the information you provide as well as possible. More information about how Bitvavo handles the information you provide and how Bitvavo ensures the security of your information can be found here.
