A Personal account with Pro limits is the highest verification level available and includes the following benefits:

• Personalized deposit & withdrawal limits.
• Access to Kraken’s Over-the-Counter trading desk.
• Higher API limits.

Please note that you do not need a Personal account with Pro limits to use our Kraken Pro app. 

If you require the following services you will need to apply for a Business account:

• You would like to create an account on behalf of a third party. 
• You intend to use this account as a reseller of digital assets as a business.
• You intend to fund your account with a business bank account.
