Source-of-funds checks on exchanges: forms, documents and timing

Exchanges sometimes ask where the money in an account came from, usually as part of enhanced due diligence. These pages explain the difference between source of funds and source of wealth, which documents match which kind of income, how to fill in the declaration forms, and what the exchanges’ own pages say about review times. They do not cover tax.

  4. Already Verified but Asked to Verify Again? Why Exchanges Ask, and What to Send

    Yes, it’s normal. Exchanges re-check verified accounts when an ID expires, when their rules change, or in a scheduled review, and what the request asks for usually shows which one you’ve got.
