Why do I have to provide additional documents to Prime Trust?

The application process for Prime Trust is separate from Abra’s existing Know Your Customer (KYC) process. Prime Trust must personally verify every customer for whom they hold funds.

This one verification process will also allow you to use the domestic wire program and hold funds in an interest account if you choose. One verification process, two great products. At this time, it is only available to US users. 

Please keep in mind, depositing via wires will still take place external to the Abra app via your bank (online banking portal or in person). Additionally, withdrawing funds via wires will still be done by withdrawing funds from within the Abra app.

Prime Trust will request documentation to complete their verification process. The best part is once you are approved for Prime Trust you are *approved to use our US Wire program.
