Additional requests for information

Once you submit your application, Unchained may ask for additional information. If this is the case, an Unchained staff member will contact you. To avoid delays in using your account, please monitor your email address.

Why does Unchained need to verify my identity?

Unchained must verify each transaction in which Unchained is requested to sign. Even if you do not intend to use Unchained’s key, we must verify the identity of every applicant.

Identity verification allows us to ensure that all our users are genuine. We designed our products for long-term savings and generational wealth. Identity verification assists Unchained in supporting heirs and beneficiaries to recover assets after their loved ones are gone.
