The Canada Post In-Person Payment (IPP) method allows our Canadian clients to quickly fund their Kraken accounts from their nearest Canada Post locations.

  • Be registered in Canada.
  • Your Kraken account must be verified to the Intermediate or Pro level.
  • Use a phone number that is not registered with any other Kraken account.
