Bitfinex Setup and Creating an API Key

Contents

1. Deposit Funds into Your Bitfinex Account

Follow Bitfinex’s on-screen guidance to complete the items below so everything works later

Register a Bitfinex account
KYC: complete at least Intermediate verification to get full crypto trading and transfer access; to use international bank wire (SWIFT), you must verify to the highest level (Advanced)
- Basic requires: a government-issued photo ID, a selfie, a phone number and your residential address
- Intermediate requires: everything in Basic, plus a second government-issued photo ID, proof of residence, a financial questionnaire and a KYC declaration
- Advanced requires: everything in Intermediate, plus a bank statement
Two-factor authentication: we recommend Twilio Authy Authenticator, which makes it easy to switch phones later (you can link a phone number or email, but be sure to remember your password)
- Authy (Android): Google Play

Deposit: transfer USDT to the platform over a blockchain (Ethereum, Tron), or use international bank wire (SWIFT)
