Welcome to Fxcm's Help Centre

We only offer personal standard and professional trading accounts. We do not offer any corporate accounts or joint accounts.

We offer USD as a base currency for our trading accounts. When you register for an account, the system will automatically determine your account base currency according to your region and this cannot be changed.

We’ll always endeavour to electronically verify you first using your personal details provided in the application form. However if we are unable to electronically verify your full details or if we are only able to electronically verify part of your details, for “Know Your Client” (KYC) regulatory reasons we may require you to provide ID and/or Proof of Address documents.

This document must be 1) less than 6 months old and show the full document, and 2) show Name and Residential (non PO Box) Address, and 3) show a provision of services.
