A few details to start, then a specialist takes over. No payment is taken at this step.
What happens next
You submit the form
Takes about a minute and costs nothing.
A specialist calls you
They confirm your details, answer questions and outline next steps. 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.
What you'll need
- An email address you actually check.
- A phone number, so a specialist can reach you.
- An identity document, for verification later.
What happens after you submit the form
The verification call
A specialist calls to confirm your submitted details, answer questions and agree on a sensible starting amount for you. It's 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'd prefer a specific time, mention it on the form and it will be respected.
Identity checks explained
Before your first deposit, you'll be asked for photo ID and a recent proof of address. This is standard for any regulated financial service and ensures withdrawals can only ever return to you.
What's accepted
A passport or national ID card, plus a utility bill or bank statement issued within the last three months. A clear phone photo is fine.
