Get everything you need in one account

There is no minimum funding requirement when opening an account.

If you want to qualify for a higher account tier (lower prices and better service), you can do so with a minimum funding of a certain value.

It is quick and easy to open an account—just have the below documents ready and sign up online. 

1. Your national ID number from the country where you hold citizenship.
2. Your tax ID number from your country of residence.
3. A document as proof of identity (e.g., a passport, ID card, driver’s licence) and a selfie.
4. A document as proof of residence (one that shows your home address, such as a residence permit, utility bill, or bank statement).

First, create an account. Once you’re logged in:

1. Click on the main menu on the top right (web/desktop) or bottom right (mobile app)
2. Under the Deposits and transfers heading, click Portfolio transfer
3. Follow the prompts in the pop-up window to start your transfer request
