Why is proof of address required?

When you'll be asked for proof of address, and why.

Written by Bernard Fisher

You may be asked for proof of address when you first set up bank transfers (Send Crypto). It's a one-time step.

Bank transfers are processed by our partner Unblock, which runs its own verification to meet the regulations for sending money to bank accounts. Your Oobit verification is shared with Unblock, so you won't repeat everything, but Unblock may ask for proof of address or other documents.

  • US residents don't need to provide proof of address.

  • Follow the prompts in the app. They show which documents are accepted.

  • Make sure the name and address match the details on your Oobit account.

Once Unblock approves you, you can send bank transfers without verifying again.
