I'm hoping somebody with experience can help me. I've verified my account to Tier 3 and can now fund my Kraken account with USD. I added my bank account/routing number and entered an amount that I wanted to deposit. The next screen gave me instructions of how to wire money to Kraken's bank account along with a reference number. Generally when I pay for something or send money from my bank account I simply enter my bank account and routing number OR I go to my bank's website and send money to the recipient's bank account/routing number, not both. If I want to fund my Kraken account, must I wire money to them or are they already withdrawing it? The status of my deposit says pending and when I select the transaction ID it says its a wire transfer which makes it sound like I need to go to my bank account and wire money to Kraken through it. If this is the case, why does Kraken need to know my bank account/routing number and specify the amount if I'm just going to wire it to their bank anyways?
Well i think you just gives the informations that be asked by Kraken, and the deposit of USD will be added on your account on Kraken. They need more about your information to anticipate money laundering use Kraken, but if you want buy bitcoins anonymous without show your identity, you can try to buy bitcoins on exchange currency on bitcointalk of course you must use escrow for safety.
