This is how it works.
When it comes to deposits in fiat you have to confirm it is your account the cash came from.
Once I had confirmed an account was mine I didn't get bothered every time I sent cash over from that account.
Recently I sent £5 over from a bank account I had not used before. I got an email from compliance@kinesis.money. The email was framed as

So this was an annual check -
I have been asked for proof an account was mine and this sounds like this is what they are after.
This is what I sent to another member to advise him on the information I expected compliance was looking for in respect of source of funds and proof the account was his.
I would contact compliance@kinesis.money about this. You aren't going to get far with CHAT and it seems this sort of thing is being run through Compliance rather than Support these days.
This is how it is these days. Compliance when it comes to banking - certainly in England - has become nightmarish.
