Step-by-Step Account Opening Process for South African Traders
To begin, South African clients must register on our official website. Click the “Open Account” button found in the main menu. Enter your full personal information including name, email, and South African contact number. Choose your preferred account type based on minimum deposit and trading style.
Document Verification Requirements
Verification requires submitting a South African government-issued ID or passport copy. Additionally, proof of residence issued within the past three months is mandatory. Acceptable documents include utility bills or bank statements displaying your South African address.
Upload these documents securely through your account dashboard’s verification section. We verify submissions within 24 hours during South African working days. Completed verification activates full account functions such as withdrawals and higher deposit limits.

Upon registration, select an account suited to your goals and financial capacity. Beginners usually start with the Micro account. Traders with moderate experience often choose Premium. The Pro account suits advanced users requiring tighter spreads and faster execution.
We advise new South African traders to begin with lower minimum deposits and increase deposits progressively as confidence grows.

Leverage Options and Margin Requirements
Our platform offers South African traders flexible leverage settings to amplify trading exposure. Micro accounts can access leverage up to 1:1000, while Premium and Pro accounts offer up to 1:500 and 1:200 respectively. Higher leverage increases profit and loss potential proportionally.
Margin requirements are calculated automatically for each trade. Forex instruments generally allow higher leverage compared to CFDs on indices and commodities. We monitor market volatility and adjust leverage to ensure regulatory compliance and risk management.
Margin call alerts notify traders when equity falls below maintenance levels. Traders should add funds or close positions promptly to avoid forced liquidation.
