I don't even know what a bank statement is
And for proof of address, does anything work that contains my name and address?? Like a phone bill?
Are you sure you need a verified account?
You can store and exchange btc and USD on bitfinex without a verified account.
It says this: "Whether you wish to deposit or withdraw US dollars funds to/from your Bitfinex account, your account must be verified in order to comply with relevant anti-money laundering (AML) and counter terrorism financing (CTF) laws and regulations."
So I guess I have to verify right?
It depends on what you want to use your account for.
If you plan on sending USD to the exchange directly, then yes you need to verify.
However, you can easily buy your btc somewhere else (coinbase, circle), send the btc to your unverified bitfinex account, then sell it on the exchange for USD. You will then have USD at bitfinex, in your account. If you want to withdraw, you would exchange it back into btc on bitfinex, and then send it to your coinbase/circle wallet and sell there for USD.
Right, so you're sure that I can send bitcoin there in and out without verifying?? Can anybody else confirm this aswell?
