Kraken reserves the right to restrict account access or disable funding abilities for reasons including, but not limited to:
  • Detection of a potential security issue,
  • Suspected malicious activity targeting your account,
  • Withdrawals to crypto wallets associated with fraud or illegal activity,
  • A reversal of one of your recent transactions by your bank or card issuer,
  • Failure to maintain accurate, truthful, and up-to-date information regarding your identity and contact information,
  • Failure to respond to a request for additional information, as required by regulations in the jurisdiction where you reside,
  • A violation of our Terms of Service.
