Seriously, it feels like a few of them are actively trying to make it impossible to get set up, taking weeks for verification and then hitting you with unexpected hoops.
Definitely. The varying requirements and processing times are a huge pain, especially when you're trying to evaluate different firms.
Yeah, it's definitely not consistent across the board. Some are super smooth, others feel like they're still using dial-up for their verification process. It's frustrating when you're keen to get started.
I've definitely noticed an increase in processing times and more stringent document requests lately. It seems some firms are tightening their compliance, possibly in response to regulatory pressures or past issues with identity fraud.
