Recent changes to funding for EEA clients

On the 25th of September 2023 one of Kraken’s entities - Payward Ireland Limited. - was granted an Electronic Money Institution (EMI) license by the Central Bank of Ireland, as a result we will soon update our methods for cash deposits and withdrawals. This licensing will allow us to offer more products and provide a better client experience moving forward. Any cash funds deposited to Payward Ireland Limited are safeguarded.

We will communicate to you, ahead of time, the date at which the deposit and withdrawal methods on your account will need to be updated. Once this date has passed, please follow the instructions linked in the section below.

According to EU law, safeguarding of funds means that all your cash funds deposited to Kraken will be protected in the event of our insolvency, which means that they will be available for disbursement to you rather than to any other potential creditors.
