Understanding Fund Flow Screenshots
Fund flow screenshots refer to documented proof of your payment account's recent transaction history (typically 1-3 days). Sellers request this verification to assess transaction security before proceeding with trades on OKX.
Key Components of a Valid Screenshot:
- Account balance (must exceed transaction amount)
- Account holder's verified identity
- Specified date range (as per seller's requirement)
Why Sellers Require This Verification
- Risk Mitigation: Sellers verify your account hasn't received recent deposits (ideally within 3 days), reducing potential exposure to high-risk funds.
- Transaction Security: This process lowers risks of frozen accounts and builds mutual trust between trading parties.
- Compliance Assurance: OKX mandates strict confidentiality of all submitted documents.
