      Client Whitelisting Procedure and Initial Funds Transfer

      All client wallets must be whitelisted prior to sending the client crypto deposit instructions (Digital Assets SSIs) and accepting crypto deposits. 

      GCEX will only accept funds from a whitelisted wallet address owned solely by the client (the client should hold the private keys of their wallet) or held in a regulated custodian. 
       
      We will not accept funds coming from a centralised exchange (custodial wallets) as these services route withdrawals through an omnibus wallet of the exchange¹
      . 
      Whitelisting Procedure: 
      1) Proof of wallet ownership of the assets according to the type of wallet

      The Compliance team will reserve the right to request additional information if any of the proof provided is not clear. 
      2) Email the wallet address to compliance@gc.exchange. The email with the full address and video recording or signed declaration should be sent by the account holder or authorised signatory if the account holder is a corporate entity. 
      3) Compliance Team will process the request and confirm the wallet is whitelisted in our systems.
      4) Conduct a small transfer to GCEX to the Digital SSIs provided before sending further funds. 

      The Operations team will contact you in order to proceed with the minimum transfer amount.
