Individual Registration & KYC Requirements
July 2021
Individual Account Registration for a BlockQuake Trading Account
BlockQuake has partnered with PrimeTrust, a qualified custodian, to (1) ensure all customer fiat assets are securely held in custody with a member FDIC insured US bank and (2) to perform KYC/AML (Know Your Customer / Anti-Money Laundering) verification. The utilization of a qualified custodian is a safeguard and a regulatory standard adhered to by traditional finance. As a direct result of this partnership, customers will have a Prime Trust account created when registering for an account with BlockQuake.
Proof of Identity and Address:
