Yes. NDAX has the following deposit limits:
Withdrawal limits also apply and vary based on your account verification status as follows:
It’s important to note that if your NDAX password has been changed, you cannot make a withdrawal for 24 hours. You will also not be allowed to make any withdrawals if you have not enabled 2-factor authentication on your account.
NDAX is registered as a money service business with FINTRAC and has implemented an anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing compliance regime.
As a result, you’ll need to provide your name, address, birth date and phone number to undergo basic verification before you can trade or withdraw from your account. Enhanced verification will need to be completed if you want to access a higher withdrawal limit, and this requires you to provide your Canadian government-issued ID and a current original pdf of a specific document (for example a utility bill) to verify your name and address.
NDAX also offers a range of other protective measures to help secure your funds, including the following:
If you need help with a specific transaction or just have a question about your account, the NDAX Support Centre features plenty of useful guides and answers to a number of FAQs.
If you still need assistance, you can submit an online support ticket, email support@ndax.io, open a live chat window or make a general enquiry by phoning 1-833-727-NDAX (6329).
