Source of funds, income and wealth
A source-of-funds question concerns where particular money came from. Source of income concerns how money is earned or received over time. Source of wealth is broader: how a person accumulated their overall assets. Operators may use different labels, so ask which question the request is actually trying to answer.
An identity document and a transaction hash may identify a person and a transfer without explaining the economic origin of the money. Start with the wording of the request rather than assuming that proof of owning a wallet answers everything.
Connect the explanation to the deposit
Think of the response as a short explanation with supporting records. Describe the origin of the money, the steps it took to reach the payment account and the transaction being queried. An unexplained bundle of screenshots can make that sequence harder to follow.
Stake’s help page gives examples including bank statements, pay records, investment records and evidence of mining receipts. Its specific format and date requirements belong to that operator; they should not be presented as an industry-wide list. Read the current instructions and ask support about evidence suited to your situation.
Example: salary converted into crypto
Consider an illustrative case in which someone receives salary into a bank account, buys crypto through an exchange and sends it to a casino. A clear explanation would identify that sequence. Records might need to connect the salary payment, exchange purchase and outgoing transfer, depending on what the operator asks for.
The point is continuity, not maximum document volume. If a step is missing, ask which alternative evidence is accepted. A wallet transfer can show where coins moved but does not necessarily explain the salary or other original source. This example is not a guarantee that any particular set of documents will be accepted.
Prepare a focused response
- Confirm the request. Check it inside your authenticated account and identify the ticket or compliance reference.
- Identify its scope. Ask which deposit, period, amount or income source is being reviewed.
- List the required evidence. Match each requested fact to a document rather than sending your entire financial history by default.
- Check the format. Confirm whether PDFs, photographs or statements are accepted and whether any redaction is permitted.
- Explain differences. Describe legitimate name, date or currency differences. Do not edit source documents to hide them.
- Keep a submission record. Save the request, upload confirmation and follow-up privately.
Protect information while responding
Use the designated secure upload channel. Do not send financial records to an unsolicited social-media account claiming to be support. A support worker does not need a wallet seed phrase or private key to read evidence of a transaction.
If a document contains irrelevant sensitive information, ask whether it can be redacted before submitting. Do not assume that a heavily edited document will be accepted, and do not publish the unredacted version as evidence in a review or complaint. Explain the privacy concern and request an accepted alternative where necessary.
If you cannot supply the requested document
Tell the operator what you can substantiate and ask for acceptable alternatives. For example, the absence of a salary slip may be expected for a different source of income. The useful response is an accurate explanation, not a substitute document that implies employment you do not have.
Ask what happens while the review remains unresolved, what account-closure options exist and how any balance would be handled. We cannot determine those outcomes from the request alone. If you dispute the handling, follow the formal complaint route for the specific operator and retain the correspondence.
Common questions
Is a bank statement always enough?
No universal document guarantees acceptance. The request may concern a particular transaction or need other evidence. Ask which fact remains unverified.
Can a transaction hash replace financial records?
It can identify a transfer, but may not explain the original source of the funds. Ask what the operator needs to establish.
Does submitting documents guarantee approval?
No. Submission and approval are separate steps. Confirm receipt, ask whether anything is missing and keep the response.
Choose your next step
- Distinguish identity and financial checks
- Understand a new verification request
- Check which withdrawal stage is delayed
