Once the initial application form has been completed, you will receive an email asking to verify your email address.

After email verification, you will need to complete a separate online form and submit documents to help us verify your identity. This verification is a regulatory requirement aimed at securing your account and preventing fraudulent activity. Until your identity is verified, you will be unable to open an account.

Please note: Depending on your circumstances, you may be asked to provide additional documents for verification purposes and to ensure that you are who you say you are. This is for the ongoing security and protection of your account, and to help prevent potential fraudulent activity. If additional documents are required, your Account Manager will contact you directly. If you have questions or concerns about this process, please contact our Client Services team.

Once all documents have been submitted in full, we aim to complete the application within 1-2 business days. 

After the verification has been completed, you will receive your new account login details via email.

How many live accounts can I have with Axi?

Clients are allowed up to 10 active Live accounts with Axi at any one time. If you already have 10 active accounts and want to open an additional sub-account, you will need to close an existing/inactive account first.

Why can't I see my country on the list to open an account?

As a responsible financial services provider, Axi operates according to the laws and regulations of the various regions around the world in which we do business. Due to regulatory restrictions, residents from certain countries are not able to open trading accounts. If your country of residence is not on the list during the account application stage, we are unfortunately unable to open an account for you.

How can I verify my account?

During the account opening process, you are required to complete an online form that contains your Personal and Economical Profile and Trading Experience, plus submit Proof of Identity and Proof of Residence documents. An account can only be verified once this information has been received by Axi.

Please note: The specific documents we require will depend on your country of residence and the account type being requested.

Proof of Identity

IMPORTANT:  we do not accept scanned images or digital images of a document; instead, we require a photograph.

For proof of identification, we only accept copies of a government-issued document that contains a photo, such as a Passport, National Identity Card, or Driver’s License.

When submitting an ID document, please ensure the following:

• The image must be in color (black and white will not be accepted), and all text must be clear and readable
• We must be able to see your full name (not abbreviation), nationality, date of birth, and the photo
• The document must be current (not expired)
• All four corners of the document must be visible
• Please provide copies of both the front and back of the document

Proof of Residence

Proof of Residence documents must show your name and current residential address and must have been issued recently. If you cannot provide a matching proof of address on your application, we will not be able to open an account.

Accepted Proof of Residence documents include:

- Bank statement
- A utility bill (gas, water, heating, electricity)
- Tax document
- A confirmation from a solicitor, or any other government-issued document

Please note: When submitting an image, all four corners of the document must be visible. The document must be a copy of the original file. Screenshots, mobile/telephone bills, and credit card statements cannot be accepted.

Additional documents that may be requested

If we need you to provide other documents to verify your identity, you will be contacted directly with the request. Examples of additional documents we might ask for include:

• Certification - Certification must be undertaken by one of the following: Qualified Lawyer, Notary Public, or Bank Manager. The certifier must provide full contact details, and date, stamp, and sign the document. Certification must be clear and legible. The certifier must also translate documentation where necessary. The certification stamp should not be cropped or digital.
• Selfie with the document - If we need you to provide a selfie with the document to confirm its authenticity, please note the following:
  • Please ensure your fingers are not covering any text.
  • The ID details must be clear and readable.
  • The selfie must not be modified by any photo editing software.
  • Do not wear glasses, headphones, wireless hands-free devices, a hat, head covering, or anything that obscures your face. If you wear a hat or head covering for religious or medical purposes, please ensure that your hat or head covering does not cast shadows on your face.

• Limited Power of Attorney - If you would like to grant someone else access to trade on your account, you (the rightful owner of the account) will need to complete and sign a Limited Power of Attorney (LPOA) document. By doing so you will authorize the person to trade on your behalf. They will not be permitted to make deposits and withdrawals. If it is a corporate, trust, or superannuation application, you will be requested to provide additional supporting documents during the application process.

All verification documents can be uploaded directly during the online account application process, but if you are having problems, please contact our Client Services team for help via your registered email address.
