Smooth Trading Account Setup, Surprise Verification Demands

I want to write about impressions that I have from process of opening trading account, its verification and funding. It was not difficult to open account. But I was surprised that to verify my account, I need to provide company with my personal data. I'm sure that email address and phone number are enough. But I had to provide all that they requested. Then I deposited account and everything was smooth here. Procedure is transparent and understandable. And there were no hidden fees.
