If you haven’t already, start by signing up for an account and verifying your email address. Once you have an account, there’s a four step process you’ll need to complete in order to make an investment on Linqto.
Step 1: Identity Verification
This is a standard practice as part of our Know Your Customer and Anti Money Laundering (KYC/AML) compliance. You’ll be asked to scan your Drivers License or Passport and take a self-photo to verify your identity.
Step 2: Basic Information
You’ll need to complete the rest of your profile such as adding your primary residence address, phone number, and SSN/Tax ID. This information is used for tax reporting and to communicate with you –your private information is never shared with anyone.
Step 3: Verify Accreditation Status
To verify that you are an accredited investor in order to have access to all investment opportunities, you can access your Investor Profile to be guided through the accreditation verification process.
The US requirements for accreditation can be found here, while information on international requirements can be found in our blog post here.
Step 4: Fund Your Cash Account
You can fund your cash account via ACH, Wire Transfer or Uphold within your Wallet. Both the ACH and Uphold routes support instant availability of your funds (limits apply).
After these steps are completed, you’ll be able to place orders for the assets of your choice.
