Hello,

Kraken seems to take ages to verify a simply account with passport and utility bill. I have been waiting 5 days now Sad

Is there any good alternative to this service that has a similar platform but don't take ages to verify an account?


why are you taking risk by giving your personal details to third party? There are many trading platform like bittrex, youbit.net, poloniex, c-cex etc which are more popular and safe and they also do not ask for your id, passport for verification. Better chose the trading platform that I mentioned.
Any legit exchange where you can buy crypto with fiat is going to require ID.  I decided to abandon my efforts with Kraken after they told me my pic of me holding my driver's license was too blurry.   I'll deal with people here if I can, and my crypto needs aren't that great anyway.

I was under the same impression that the ones that are regulated need your ID to verify you. If Bittrex does not than I wonder if the risk is not to high to expose your funds to them. They could just disappear. Also I read some bad reviews from them. But Kraken is a nightmakre to deal with. I tried to verifiy my address and they did not accept my postcode. I opened a support request. If you already have issues in the beginning this is not a good sign. I need to do a trade this week. If they need 5 days to answer then it is not something I can or want to accept. The questions is are there real alternatives. Businesses that are legit but have good service?
