How to open an Exness account

Exness holds licences from FSA Seychelles, FSCA, CMA Kenya, FSC Mauritius, FSC BVI, CBCS (Curaçao), FSC Belize, CySEC, FCA. The company that opens your account depends on your country of residence, and it decides your leverage and protection. Which Exness 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 Exness 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 Exness's website or app with your email and phone. Regulated brokers must check your identity and address under anti-money-laundering rules, so Exness will ask for documents in its sign-up flow. Verifying before you deposit avoids delays on your first withdrawal.
