What is SOF?

SOF stands for Source of Funds. It’s a process to ensure that the funds in your AstroPay account come from a legitimate source and comply with regulatory standards.

When is SOF Required?

  • If your account has a restriction, you must prove a monthly income of 15,000 USD (or local equivalent).

  • If there’s no restriction, you can justify any amount.

How Will You Be Notified?

You’ll see a banner in the AstroPay app requesting the document. Just follow the instructions and upload it directly through the app.

We accept the following documents:

  • Payslips

  • Invoices for services rendered

  • Pension payment receipts

  • Bank statements

Requirements for Approval

Documents must:

  • Show amount earned in one month

  • Be issued within the last 90 days

  • Be in the name of the AstroPay account holder

How Do I Know If My Document Will Be Approved?

The required amount may vary depending on your account’s activity.

In some cases, you may need to prove a monthly income of 15,000 USD (or equivalent).

In others, a lower amount may be acceptable — it all depends on the context.
