  Coinbase asks for your bank account number to verify your identity and ensure compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) and know your customer (KYC) regulations. By linking your bank account, Coinbase can confirm that you are the legitimate owner of the account and prevent fraudulent activities. This also allows Coinbase to facilitate seamless transfers between your bank account and your Coinbase account.

  Coinbase needs your bank account number to establish a secure connection between your bank and Coinbase. This connection enables you to deposit funds from your bank account to your Coinbase account and withdraw funds from your Coinbase account to your bank account. It's a necessary step to ensure the smooth functioning of transactions and to provide you with a convenient way to manage your funds.
