Do note that their backing bank is greendot. If you sign up with a custom email address (eg: not gmail/yahoo/outlook/etc), your wealthfront account will still be created, but stopped from actually opening an account for failing verification.

As for verification goes, it's a black box from greendot's side[1].

That hasn't been my experience. My email is at my own domain, and I haven't had a problem. However I opened my wealthfront account many years ago.
