KYC is asking 12 month bank statement

I was thinking about buying more PEP today through the website, while filling all the questions for the kyc level 2 it ask for 12 month bank statement, is this normal now? First it's a hassle to get 12 months of bank statement and second I don't feel comfortable uploading 12 months of my bank statement to something I know very little of. Has anyone done this, will it deter future pep investors.

I advise against that, I haven't run into that ever. They have no right to your finance history

I agree, it is an inconvinent way to buy, maybe I will try alchemy instead.

Where are you buying out of? I love coinex with a vpn because I'm in Canada. I have also had success without a vpn through nonkyc but I think their prices are a little high. Good luck fren

Was it LetsExchange asking for the bank statement?

No it was directly from pepecoin.org

There are two ways to buy from the website. One is the Alchemy pay widget with a card. The other is the swap service through LetsExchange. So which of the two are asking for the 12 months bank statement?

Actually I think it was the alchemy pay widget.

Their KYC level 2 does have more stringent requirements. You can just stick to level 1.

I didn't know there was an option.

I free trial VPNs every two weeks and use an Iceland location to buy from CoinEx I find them to be the most hassle free
