# Connect Kucoin

## Create an account with Kucoin

If you do not yet have an account with Kucoin, first go to [www.kucoin.com](http://www.kucoin.com) and choose to create a login. 

**What you need:** Working email address, Passport, Mobile phone, Phone number and the Google Authenticator app. 

After you have created the login and completed the KYC process (KYC = Know Your Client), you can fund your spot balance. Please note that BitBrokerTrade works from your available Euro balance.
