How can my account be approved? Is it the same as being authenticated?

To get your account approved, you need to meet account approval requirements. Learn more about account approval.

 

Getting your account approved is different from being authenticated.

 

Being authenticated & verified is a higher level of authentication which is conducted independently by our credit rating partners. When your account is authenticated and verified, your rating and ranking will improve. You will need to upgrade your account before it can be authenticated. The table below shows the differences.
