Choose your trading account

To open an account, we’ll need you to provide a few personal details, such as your name, address and tax ID number (National Insurance Number) so that we can establish your identity. 

In the majority of cases, this is all we require. But you may also be asked to provide supporting documents if we cannot verify the information provided – this could include a government-issued photo ID and proof of address. 

There is no minimum deposit to open an account, but your application will be considered based on your income and savings. 

The information you provide will be treated in the same, secure manner as all your other data held with us. It will not be shared publicly and will only be used for our reporting purposes with the FCA.

An MT4 account gives you access to one of the most popular FX trading platforms. Although it’s a dedicated FX platform, you can also trade indices, shares and commodities. It’s more suited to the experienced trader who wants to build automated trading systems and access advanced charting tools.

A professional account is for the expert trader who meets our eligibility requirements. You’ll get broker-assisted dealing but will lose the negative balance protection and leverage limits that come with a retail account. We’ll assume you have a higher level of knowledge, and understand the risks involved in trading.
