What documents will I need to prove my business' source of funds?


When you create and use your Bitlocus business account, you may be required to provide supporting documentation, where your business money comes from. This is a regulatory requirement and it helps maintain the safety and trust of all users on Bitlocus.


Make sure you provide the full document, with no pages or sections missing. 

Cropped or redacted documents cannot be accepted.


You might get asked for proof of your business’ funds:

  • when you open your account

  • if you make an unusually large transfer compared to your business’ normal activity

  • if you move an unusually large amount over time (for example, you move a lot in one month)

  • under any other reason not listed here
