How to open an AvaTrade account

AvaTrade holds licences from CBI, ASIC, FSCA, ADGM FSRA, FSA Japan, FSC BVI, CySEC. The company that opens your account depends on your country of residence, and it decides your leverage and protection. Which AvaTrade company opens your account depends on where you live. If you live in the EU, the UK, Australia, South Africa, Kenya, the UAE or Qatar, our link only goes to an AvaTrade entity licensed for your country, and where there is none we show no link. We show no sign-up links at all in countries where promoting offshore brokers is not allowed.

Register on AvaTrade's website or app with your email and phone. Regulated brokers must check your identity and address under anti-money-laundering rules, so AvaTrade will ask for documents in its sign-up flow. Verifying before you deposit avoids delays on your first withdrawal.

Commission: "No commission on CFDs (cost is in the spread)". Accounts differ in how they charge you (spread or commission); see the cost per lot calculator.

Minimum deposit: 100 (USD/EUR/GBP/AUD, base currency). Deposit methods AvaTrade lists: Credit/debit card, Wire transfer, Skrill, Neteller (e-payments not for EU/AU clients).
