- 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.

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.
We offer pre-market and after-hours trading access to the major US exchanges, including New York Stock Exchange, Nasdaq, American Stock Exchange, and Bats BZX.
Most stocks listed on these exchanges are eligible for pre-market and after-hours trading; however, availability is determined by order volume.
You should also be aware that trading pre-market and after-hours comes with additional volatility and larger price movements for many securities, in part due to lower liquidity in the market.
We offer you greater control of your trading via our fully customised orders.
Our policy is designed to ensure client orders are executed promptly, efficiently, and with the best possible terms.
