How to open an account on Kraken
- Visit the exchange and register. Create an account with an email address you control, and enable two-factor authentication before depositing anything.
- Complete identity verification (KYC). Upload a government-issued ID and, where asked, a proof of address. Tiers and processing times vary by country.
- Make your first deposit. Fund by bank transfer, card or a crypto transfer. Check the deposit network carefully — sending on the wrong network is the most common way funds are lost.
