We are currently experiencing degraded performance in the identity verification step of onboarding for new users in Germany. Some users may be unable to complete verification on their first attempt and may need to retry several times before it succeeds. If your verification fails, please wait a moment and try again. Existing accounts, trading, deposits and withdrawals are not affected. Our team is working with our verification partner to resolve this as quickly as possible, and we will share updates here.
