Open your account
A few simple details to start, then a specialist takes it from there. No payment is taken at this step.
What you will need
- An email address you actually check.
- A phone number, so a specialist can reach you.
- An identity document, for the verification step later.
What happens next
You send the form
It takes about a minute and costs nothing at all.
A specialist calls you
They confirm your details, answer questions and explain the next step, with no pressure to deposit.
You verify and pick an amount
Only then does any money move, and only the amount you choose.
Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of some or all of the capital you invest. The value of investments can fall as well as rise, and you may get back less than you put in. Do not invest money you cannot afford to lose.

The verification call
A specialist calls to confirm the details you submitted, answer any questions and agree on a sensible starting amount for you. It is a conversation, not a script - an account opened on unrealistic expectations helps nobody.
How long it takes
Usually one call of ten to fifteen minutes. If you prefer a specific time, mention it on the form and it will be respected.
Identity checks explained
Before your first deposit, you will be asked for a photo ID and a recent proof of address. This is the same standard requirement any regulated financial service applies, and it exists so a withdrawal can only ever return to you.
What is accepted
A passport or national ID card, plus a utility bill or bank statement issued in the last three months. A clear photo taken on your phone is fine.
