Kraken is free to sign up to and the process can be completed in less than 10 minutes. To sign up, visit the website - to create an account, enter your email, create a secure password, and verify your email address. 

🔑 Step 2: Verify Your Identity
To comply with regulations, you’ll need to provide some basic information and verify your identity using 2 forms of ID (a driver's license and a recent bank statement will do!). This process is quick and ensures your account stays safe.

Please note, you then have to wait 24 hours before you can buy crypto as required by the FCA. This applies to all crypto exchanges to make sure you’re not rushing into a decision.

Once verified, you can deposit funds using your preferred payment method — Kraken supports payments via debit card, bank transfer and PayPal.

🛒 Step 4: Buy Your First Crypto
Head to Kraken’s Buy Crypto section, choose from a wide selection of digital assets, and make your purchase in just a few clicks. You can buy a fraction of a Bitcoin, Ethereum, or any of the 300+ other supported cryptocurrencies — no need to purchase a whole coin!

📊 Step 5: Track and Manage Your Portfolio
Kraken’s intuitive dashboard lets you monitor your investments and explore new crypto opportunities as you go.
