I actually need less information to start a new bank account than I do to get set up on any reputable exchange. It's a nightmare. 6 different forms of verification is just absurd.
Aha! I see that you have definitely been through the pain. This is
exactly what I've been saying since I got into crypto back in 2012! I should not have to provide MORE documentation to use bitcoin than I do to use USD. Help us spread the word, and
we will change this broken system.
Cheers,

Yeah I could complain for days about it. I guess I can understand they think they need all the verification, and I would probably be more okay with it if they actually handled it well. From my experience, they often have broken steps. Just google "can't verify Kraken" or "can't link bank coinbase", you'll find all sorts of bureaucratic nightmare stories.
