Have you actually bought bitcoin? When I signed up I needed to upload a picture of me holding my state ID to buy and sell.
Yep. Took me 5 minutes and just one txt message verification
I bought a few ETH this morning. I linked a bank account, is that the difference?
What state/country are you in?
West Virginia, US
I know very little about banking regulations, but I think the KYC laws change based on the state. It’s possible Coinbase has a different process in WV compared to CA.
Really? I signed up a few weeks ago to check it out, I had to upload the front and back of my driver's license.
Yeah. I signed up this morning and bought a few ETH.
