2. Follow the instructions  in the link. Please make sure you provide a correct phone number and email, otherwise we will not be able to contact you
3. Verify your identity by uploading the documents for an individual or corporate  trader. Normally, the verification takes  one business day
4. Add funds to your account as required by your account type. The minimal funding requirements are 10,000 euro for individual clients and 50,000 euro for corporate clients

Access the live trading platform from our website or download it for any of your mobile/desktop devices

Once you register at EXANTE you can choose between opening a “Live” or “Demo” account. In essence, the DEMO account offers virtual €1,000,000 so you can practice your trading skills and try your strategies. The LIVE trading account allows you to  perform real-time trades.

Here’s how the two accounts are different:

If you run out of virtual funds on your Demo account, visit the Settings page in the Client's area.

EXANTE offers two different account types: individual and corporate accounts. There is a difference in the range of required documents, as well as in the minimal initial funding. If you want to open an individual account, the initial funding should be equal or exceed 10,000 euro. For corporate accounts, the minimal amount is 50,000 euro.

Important note: You can open both separate private and corporate accounts with EXANTE!

Please provide these documents  to open and verify an individual trading account:

1. Government issued ID (international passport or driving license). If you choose to upload a driving license, please  scan both sides of the document
2. Proof of residence. The document has to contain your full name (as in the ID), address, bill date and the name of  the service. As proof of residence, we accept: 
• Recent (< 6 months) utility bill for water/landline/electricity/gas
• Bank account statement
• Official government letter

Bills for mobile services or credit card statements do not suffice. We do not accept handwritten information (e.g., date of a bill in handwriting).

Both documents should be in English, otherwise we’ll require a certified translation. 

In order to open a corporate account you will need:

1. Certificate of Incorporation or Registration
2. Memorandum and Articles of Association / Constitution / By-Laws
3. License (if any)
4. A document confirming director(s) of the company
5. ID and Proof of residence (PoR) of each company director (please provide them as described for individuals in the section dedicated to individual traders)
6. A document confirming beneficial owners or share allocations
7. ID and PoR for each shareholder who holds 25% of shares and more. If a shareholder is represented by a corporate unit, a Certificate of Incorporation, Memorandum and Articles of Association and an official confirmation on the owners of the company should be provided in the same manner as for the primary entity.

Additional documents may be requested by the compliance department.

It usually takes one business day to verify documents and to approve an account, if the received documents are valid and correct. Once your account gets an approval, you will be able to deposit initial funds as required for your account type. After completing these two steps you will get full access to EXANTE trading platform.
