Coinify Currency Exchange Services

“Coinify Trade Services” provides individuals and businesses with currency exchange services that allow users to place trades for buying and selling virtual currencies.

Coinify Trade Services are available globally with restrictions in some areas due to regulatory and banking restrictions, or sanctions. Please find out more information on which residents can buy and sell virtual currencies here: https://help.coinify.com/hc/en-us/articles/360013695179-Supported-countries-states-and-territories-for-Trade-Buy-and-Sell-

UK:

We regret to inform you that, in compliance with the new PS23/6 regulations issued by the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), we are unable to permit residents of the United Kingdom to engage in trading activities on our platform. We are committed to upholding legal and regulatory standards and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. If you have any questions or concerns regarding these restrictions, please do not hesitate to reach out to our customer support team.

Creating a Coinify Trade account

If you want to use Coinify Trade Services, you must first create an account and provide us with KYC documentation. It must be noted that only one account can be created.

Accounts can be created for both personal and business use. However, it is very important that the Coinify account owner is the same as the bank account owner.

In cases where the owner of the bank account (from where the money originates) does not match the user name of the trade account, Coinify is unable to process the trade and will therefore issue a refund to return the funds to the original account. Coinify reserves the right to charge an administration fee for this refund.

The same applies to a reverse transaction, where the incoming funds owner does not match the outgoing bank account owner's name. Coinify reserves the right to charge an administration fee for such reverse transactions.

The Coinify Trade Account is strictly personal and cannot be used to trade on behalf of another individual or entity. Any use of the account or transfer of funds from an account belonging to any other individual or entity than the account creator is strictly prohibited and will consequently cause the trade to be cancelled and potentially restrict the user’s access to the Coinify Trade Services.

Creating a Coinify Corporate Trade Account

If you wish to trade with your corporate bank account, you need to set up a Coinify Corporate Trade account for your company. In order to have your corporate trade account approved, you agree to provide the following documents to Coinify’s compliance department:

- Company registration;

- Beneficial ownership documentation (shareholder registry);

- The government-issued ID of shareholders owning 25 % or more of the company shares;

- Utility bill no older than 3 months which shows the company’s address;

- Business license (if applicable);

- Bank statement of the company bank account;

- Source of Funds for Companies and KYB Form.

* If a merchant is classified as high risk, Coinify reserves the right to request the identification information of shareholders owning 10+%.

Please note that the bank account used to complete bank trades, created on the Corporate Trade account, has to be in the name of the company approved by our Compliance department.

If a trade has been placed but the company is unable to provide the documents requested by Coinify, Coinify is unable to process the trade and will therefore issue a refund to return the funds to the original account. Coinify reserves the right to charge an administration fee for this refund.

The Coinify Corporate Trade Account is strictly personal and cannot be used to trade on behalf of another individual or entity. Any use of the account or transfer of funds from an account belonging to any other individual or entity than the account creator is strictly prohibited and will consequently cause the trade to be cancelled and potentially restrict the user’s access to the Coinify Trade Services.

Coinify Trade Limits

Coinify supports individual transactions up to €500,000 (or equivalent in other currencies) depending on the payment method and individual risk assessment of the trader. Typically, trading limits start at €1,000 per purchase with card and €50,000 daily via bank transfer, with the possibility to increase trade limits based on trading activity and/or provision of Proof of Source of Funds as per Coinify’s AML requirements.

Throughout your trading process, we will always be transparent and keep you informed of the trade limits available to you, as well as the options to increase your trade levels if required.

myCoinify Premium is available for users with large trading volumes. myCoinify Premium is by invitation only and these users may trade up to €500,000 per transaction and enjoy many other benefits, but must also provide Enhanced Due Diligence. Please contact us to discuss creating a myCoinify Premium.

Please note that Coinify monitors the trading activities of all users. This includes requesting Proof of Source of Funds (PoSoF) and Enhanced Proof of Source of Funds (EPoSoF) from the users who reach a certain limit of total aggregated volume.

Additionally, Coinify reserves the right to request further documentation if deemed necessary.

Payment by Bank Transfer

When you pay by bank transfer, you accept that the virtual currencies will be traded at the current available exchange rate at the time Coinify processes your trade, which might differ from the rate displayed when you confirm your trade on Coinify.com.

Please note that the rate displayed at the time you confirm your trade is an indicative rate. Please also note that Coinify works with several domestic and international banks and that transfer fees will vary depending on which country and bank you send your funds from.

Delivery

The virtual currencies are delivered to your virtual currency wallet by using the information provided by you. You are responsible for providing us with the correct information about your virtual currency wallet. If you pay by credit/debit card, the virtual currencies will be delivered as soon as possible depending on the network. If you pay by bank transfer, the virtual currencies will be delivered within 1-2 business days once Coinify has processed your trade unless unforeseen circumstances lead to any delays.

Deleting & Deactivation of Coinify Trader Account

You as a Coinify user have the right to choose to terminate your account upon request. Please note that Coinify cannot delete your account upon request instantly, but rather to disable it for a period of 5 years, until it can be deleted.

This is for accounting purposes and in accordance with the Danish Accounting Act (“Bogføringsloven”) § 10. Likewise, Coinify accounts that are inactive for the past 5 years will be automatically disabled and deleted. Furthermore, Coinify is required to keep any information related to KYC documentation and completed transactions in accordance with the Danish Anti-Money Laundering Act (“Hvidvaskloven”) § 30 for a period of 5 years.

Operations

Trades are processed by Coinify in a reasonable time, however, delays can occur for various reasons.

Additionally, while we aim for 100% server up-time, we realize this is not always possible. We are constantly working on improvements and performing upgrades, which may occasionally result in server outages.

Coinify reserves the right to perform maintenance or changes to the Coinify Trade Services at any time we see fit. This may result in periods during which the services may be temporarily unavailable. Coinify will, to the extent that it is possible, announce such interruptions in advance. However, it is not required to do so and is not responsible for any damages or losses resulting from server outages, communication networks or blockchain systems.

Risk

You acknowledge and accept the risks inherent in using Coinify Trade Services. Investing in virtual currencies contains various risks and you are aware that the investment may result in a total loss. Please read our Virtual Currency Risk Warning carefully before using our services.

When sending virtual currencies to blockchain addresses of Coinify, you shall only use those blockchain addresses that Coinify has communicated to you for this purpose. If you transfer virtual currency to an address not communicated by Coinify there is a risk that the virtual currencies cannot be traced back to you. In this case, the risk of loss of the virtual currency is borne by you and there is no claim allocation of the virtual currency.

Privacy and personal data
