In my experience as a trader using well-regulated money transfer and forex platforms like CurrencyFair, the document verification process for an initial withdrawal tends to be thorough. Because CurrencyFair is regulated by ASIC in Australia, they must comply with anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) standards. For me, this has typically meant providing clear proof of identity—such as a government-issued passport or driver’s license—which allows CurrencyFair to verify my name, date of birth, and photograph. Additionally, a document confirming my current residential address is necessary; I have found recent utility bills or official bank statements work well for this, as the address on file must match the document submitted. In my cautious approach, I ensure that these documents are recent, clear, and legitimate, as discrepancies or unclear images could cause delays. While CurrencyFair’s platform and customer service are positively reviewed, and I have not encountered major issues, user feedback suggests intermediary banking errors can happen, so I always double-check my details before submitting any documents. Overall, providing standard identity and address verification has been a necessary but straightforward step before making my first withdrawal. For my own security and compliance, I recommend others prepare these documents in advance to avoid unnecessary hold-ups.
