Before you purchase bonds, it’s important to do your research and define your financial goals. Consider factors like your investment time horizon, your risk tolerance, your knowledge of the bond market, and how bonds fit into your overall portfolio diversification. Bonds can offer stability and fixed income, making them a valuable addition to many investment strategies, but it’s key to understand their risks and potential rewards, including considerations for premium-priced bonds.
Our website and platform provide expert analysis, news, and a range of educational content to help you get started. To learn more about how to invest in bonds, including how bonds work, different types of bonds, bond investment strategies, and tips for beginners, explore our educational bonds courses.
Bonds offer the potential for stability, fixed income, and portfolio diversification. However, their value can be influenced by interest rate changes, credit risks, or market pricing conditions, such as bonds trading at a premium or discount, so it’s important to understand the factors that affect bond performance.

That depends on the account type you open.
For an individual account, these are the documents you’ll need to provide:
- Your national ID number from the country where you hold citizenship.
- Your tax ID number from your country of residence.
- A document as proof of identity (e.g., a passport, ID card, driver’s licence) and a selfie.
- A document as proof of residence (one that shows your home address, such as a residence permit, utility bill, or bank statement).
Most sign-ups for individual accounts are approved digitally within a few minutes. However, since we cannot compromise on security checks, the process can sometimes take longer. If all documents you provided meet requirements, we’ll process your application within 2 working days.
If you provide clear copies of all required documents, corporate accounts will generally be approved in about 1 week.
