Verification levels explained

Last updated: 24 ліпеня 2026 г.

We're currently facing delays in processing new accounts. Please avoid submitting multiple verification requests. 

Your verification status determines what features, products, and funding limits are available on your Krak account. For a majority of accounts, getting verified once will be more than sufficient. Although, higher funding limits would cater more to high-volume traders, or clients who need to make larger deposits and withdrawals.

Business accounts are not available for Krak accounts.

A verified account allows you to access all essential account functions. Once you are verified, you can buy and sell crypto, deposit cash and crypto, and much more.
