To verify your LakeBTC account, click on “Verification” and fill out the form.

Withdrawals can only be processed to bank accounts under your name, so make sure you fill in the exact name on your ID card and your bank account.

Also, PO Box is not considered as a valid home address. Proof of residencies such as electricity, gas, cable, phone bill or bank statement must be issued within the last three months.

  • Images must be in JPEG and under 1MB
  • Pictures of photocopies, self-printouts, or screenshots are not acceptable, except for pictures of original physical documents

LakeBTC currently supports three different accounts namely Trading, BTC Deposit/Withdraw, and Deposit/Withdraw via Bank Wire. You can trade without verifying your ID as long as your operations do not involve real FIAT currencies.

Excellent! You have successfully verified your LakeBTC account. 

 

3. Secure your LakeBTC account by setting a 2-factor authentication (2FA)

What is 2FA?
Two-factor authentication, also known as 2FA, is an extra layer of security or added protection which we refer to as multi-factor authentication. Not only the username and password are required but also a piece of information that only a user possesses. This process is to confirm a user’s claimed identity.

The 2FA process helps lessen the number of identity theft cases and as well as phishing via email. It would be harder for potential intruders to gain access and steal someone’s identity and personal data without that piece of information that only the account owner knows.

In the case of exchanges what the user has are his/her login details such as the username and password. The form of 2FA that a user possesses for this instance is a token or code. The code can be received either through SMS on a user’s mobile phone or via applications like Google Authenticator or Authy.

Check this if you want to learn more about Google Authenticator.

To get started, install the ‘Google Authenticator’ app on your phone.

After installing, go to the Security page on LakeBTC and click “Google Authentication” to scan the QR code for you to generate the 6-digit code.

Enter the code as shown in the image below, then click on the Submit button

Fantastic! Two-Factor Authentication is now active on your LakeBTC account.

 

4. Funding your LakeBTC account

After securing your LakeBTC account, you can now proceed to the next step which is funding.

Start by logging in using the information you’ve set up which will redirect you to the ‘My Wallet” page.

To start funding, you will need to create sub-accounts. These are the first six boxes that you can see when you go to “My Wallet.”
