Coinbase Credit Card Photo Identity Verification

[latetothegame]

I have bought with a credit card in the past with coinbase and then exchanged for XRP. I went into coinbase this am to hopefully buy some more, but it indicated I needed to verify my identity by adding a picture ID. After uploading my photo's it indicated it would send me an email verification that they have verified my identity.

Anyone know if this is a new level of security they have added for credit card purchases and how long it usually takes them to verify after uploading photos?

Strange they are asking for that now if you already have an account with them. All the exchanges are backed up right now so no telling how long it will take. My problem with CB is that my weekly cc limits only go up in small increments.

They want all the info they can get on you, so they can turn it over to the USA GOVT

With the way the world is now I'm sure a lot more than just the USGovt has my info!?

With the backlog, no telling. When I went through the verification process, which included uploading photos, it took a few days, and this was back around Thanksgiving. 

Sorry I don't have better news.

Whatever the reason their timing absolutely sucked. I would have been buying this am.
