Mandatory Legitimation
Due to certain German regulations, individuals from countries that are classified as high-risk for money-laundering, as well as those with a blocked amount exceeding € 15.000 are required to complete an additional legitimation step. If that is the case, different alternatives will automatically become available in your profile depending on your nationality and passport.
There is nothing to be worried about as we will be by your side to guide you through the process step by step.
