Anyone else finding KYC/AML a major hurdle for new accounts?
Been trying to diversify a bit more into agricultural commodities lately, specifically looking at some of the smaller, niche markets. It feels like every time I approach a new broker or platform that offers decent exposure in this area, the onboarding process is just… glacial. The KYC/AML requirements seem to get more stringent by the quarter, and I've had a few instances where my applications just stalled out for weeks over what felt like minor documentation points. It's frustrating when you see a window of opportunity and then spend all that time just trying to get an account opened. Is anyone else experiencing this, or have you found any providers that manage to balance compliance with a reasonably efficient setup for new clients, especially for less common commodity plays?
