The verification deposit showed up today, now I'm just waiting for them to fund my account with my initial deposit. So far so good.

I agree with what FTPSean said about the information requested - it's standard in any business environment with considerable exposure/risk to the company to do that type of verification these days. Fill out pretty much any loan request online (lending tree, etc) and you'll go through the same questions verifying you're who you say you are ased on your knowledge of stuff on your credit report.
