I recently signed up for a Coinbase account, but it's been under review for over a week now. I'm not sure why it's taking so long and I'm getting worried that I might not be able to use the account. Does anyone have any experience with this? I'm not sure what kind of information Coinbase needs to complete the review - do I need to provide verification documents or is there something else I should do? I'm a bit confused and any help would be greatly appreciated.
