KYB/Onboarding Friction with European Brokers - Any Shared Experiences?

Curious if others are seeing increased friction during Know Your Business (KYB) onboarding with EU-based brokers lately, especially regarding source of funds for prop accounts. It feels like the documentation requests are getting a lot more granular, sometimes bordering on intrusive, beyond what I've experienced previously. Any thoughts on how to streamline this without compromising compliance or switching jurisdictions entirely?

I've definitely noticed a similar trend with documentation requests from EU brokers, particularly around source of wealth. It seems to be a wider regulatory push, making the process more thorough. I've found having a detailed, pre-prepared financial statement helps a bit.

Yeah, it's definitely been tightening up. I think ESMA's renewed focus on AMLD5 compliance is trickling down, making brokers extra cautious.
