UK residents are required under local regulations to wait 24-hours as a “cooling off” period (from account creation), before their account is active (i.e. to deposit, trade, withdraw etc.).
UK residents are also required (in accordance with local legislation) to complete an appropriateness assessment to show they understand the risks associated with what crypto/investment they are about to buy and enabling CoinJar to categorise them as an investor. You will be required to complete this assessment and categorisation during the verification process.
Take a look at our Knowledge Base article First steps with CoinJar to learn more about what your CoinJar can do.
Finally: make sure to set up Enhanced Security so that your CoinJar is as secure as possible.
Note
When creating a CoinJar, we advise using a personal email address that you will always have access to. Using an email address issued by your internet service provider or your workplace is not recommended as you may lose access to these email accounts if you switch providers or change workplaces.
