An ID card or passport and your bank account statement are required to open a business account. The document must not be older than 3 months. It is also important that all photos show all 4 corners of the document.

You can open 3 different types of accounts on the platform:

  1. Real shares account - an investment account where you become a co-owner of shares with purchasing power equal to your deposit.
  2. Margin account - this is not a cash account, but a margin account. It gives you the option of triple the purchasing power of your invested funds, but you are still buying physical shares just as you would with a cash Real Shares account.

Account verification consists of several steps.

  1. First, you will take a short test to assess your knowledge and experience of investing.
  2. After the test has been evaluated, your documents will be checked. ID and a bank statement are required. Facial biometrics is also part of the verification.  
  3. Once you have successfully completed these steps, your verification will be processed, this usually takes place within 2 hours during business days.
  4. You can then transfer the capital to your trading sub-account after signing the contract. The capital is processed by the next day, and then you can start trading. Your account will be verified and ready for trading within 2 hours during business days.

Yes, it is possible to create several investment accounts in the Private Brokers platform and each of them has its own client ID.

When you open an account, you choose the currency in which the account will be held. Once the account is created, you cannot change the currency. If you want to change the currency, you need to create a new account where you can choose a different currency. Once set up, you can easily transfer funds from one account to another. However, it may not be necessary to change the currency of the account. We recommend that you open an account in the currency in which you plan to send funds. This is because purchases on the stock exchange are made at the bank's mid exchange rate and therefore there is no currency conversion.

In the client area in the top right corner you will find a menu with a link to your profile. Here you will find the "Banking Information" section in which you click on the edit button.
