How to open a Coinbase Pro account when you already have a Coinbase account

If you already have a Coinbase account, please use the same login email address from your Coinbase account for your Coinbase Pro account. By doing this, your Coinbase account is automatically linked, and transferring funds of any currency between your Coinbase balance and your Coinbase Pro account is integrated into the experience.  To create your account go here and select Log In. If you were already logged in to coinbase.com, you will be prompted to accept the Coinbase Pro User Terms and may be prompted to provide additional information.

Please note that a single individual may only operate one account with Coinbase Pro and Coinbase.com. If you already have a Coinbase account and would like to open a Coinbase Pro account, please use the same login email address.
