Step Two
Fill in additional personal details. You will be asked to list your name, birthday, full address, and phone number. We need this information because we are required to perform due diligence on our customers.

At this stage, you can limit the amount you can deposit within a set period of time. (This can be changed later). And finally, you must confirm that you are over 18 years of age and have read and accept our Terms of Use.
