How to Verify Your Funds
There are two secure ways to verify your funds with Empire Flippers:
- Connect to your US bank account (Instant verification)
- Upload financial documents (Verification within 24 business hours)
1. Connecting Your Bank Account
Verifying your bank balance by connecting your US bank account is the quickest and easiest method to start unlocking listings.
The system generates a one-time snapshot of your account and then deletes the information after confirming your account has been verified. We never store any credentials to make sure your account stays safe.
To verify your bank balance, visit https://app.empireflippers.com/users/me/verification and click the Connect Bank button. You can then follow the on-screen prompts.
Please note, you'll need to have completed identity verification to proceed with verifying your funds. (See How do I verify my identity?)
Once your funds have been verified, you should have access to unlock listings.
2. Uploading Financial Documents
This method can take up to 24 business hours to be reviewed before you can receive your unlocks. Here is a list of accepted documents to provide proof of funds:
- Bank account statement
- Stock portfolio
- CPA letter
- Home equity line of credit (HELOC)
- Cryptocurrency wallet
- Retirement account
- Other Available Credit Status
We reject over a third of submissions because the wrong types of documents are submitted, so please double check your document falls under one of the above.
To make sure your verification process goes smoothly, please make sure your documents being submitted clearly show:
- Your name. If it has your business’ name, please also submit proof of business ownership
- A recent date (within the past 3 months)
- The liquidity amount
To submit your financial documents, visit https://app.empireflippers.com/users/me/verification and click the Upload Documents button. You can then follow the on-screen prompts. Please note, you'll need to have completed identity verification to proceed with verifying your funds. (See How do I verify my identity?)
