Kraken KYC

As Kraken is a cryptocurrency exchange it is not classed as a wallet provider . Users can deposit funds to Kraken’s corporate wallet for safekeeping while funds are exchanged or used for trading. As they do not provide a personal wallet service, many users would use an external wallet service to hold their cryptos.

Not only does Kraken offer safe coin storage , with 95% of deposits held offline in cold storage units spread across the world, but it also promises platform security: Its servers are kept in secure cages under 24/7 surveillance by armed guards and video monitors.

Certain deposits, such as first time ACH instant purchases, debit or credit card purchases or digital wallet purchases, may trigger a withdrawal hold for up to 72 hours . Withdrawal holds may also be triggered by deposits from certain banks as well as security reasons.

Kraken offers clients a digital wallet to store coins between purchases but does not provide a personal wallet service .
