First-Time Withdrawal: Verifying Your Bank Account
Before you can withdraw EUR for the first time, OKX requires proof of ownership of the receiving bank account. This step ensures compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations and protects both users and financial institutions.
To verify your bank account:
- Make a small deposit in EUR from your personal bank account to your OKX account via SEPA transfer.
- The name on the bank account must match your OKX identity verification details.
- Once the deposit is confirmed and processed, your bank account will be automatically verified for future withdrawals.
This one-time verification applies only to new withdrawal methods and enhances the security of your transactions.
