XM will not approve an account if any of these are not satisfied, regardless of how much of the form you have completed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <h3>You must be 18 years of age or older<\/h3>\r\n <p>XM requires all real account holders to be at least 18 years old \u2014 or the legal age of majority in their country of residence, whichever is higher. This applies globally. Parental or guardian consent does not change this requirement; XM will not open a real account for anyone under the legal age.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <h3>You must live outside XM's restricted regions<\/h3>\r\n <p>XM Global Limited does not accept clients from the United States of America, Canada, Israel, or the Islamic Republic of Iran. If you are a resident of one of these countries, registration will not be possible. Traders in other jurisdictions \u2014 including most of Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, and Oceania \u2014 can open accounts through XM Global Limited, the Belize-regulated entity.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"warn-box\">\r\n <strong>Note on EU and Australian residents:<\/strong> If you are in the European Economic Area, your account will be opened under Trading Point of Financial Instruments Ltd (CySEC regulated). Australian residents are served by Trading Point of Financial Instruments Pty Ltd (ASIC regulated). These entities have different leverage limits \u2014 EU clients are capped at 1:30 on major forex pairs under ESMA rules, and Australian clients under equivalent ASIC restrictions. The maximum 1:1,000 leverage applies to XM Global Limited (Belize entity) clients.\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <h3>You must be able to provide identity verification documents<\/h3>\r\n <p>XM is required by its regulators to verify the identity and address of every client before a real account can go live. This means you need access to a valid government-issued photo ID and a proof of residence document. The full document requirements are detailed in <a href=\"#documents\" style=\"color:var(--red);font-weight:600;\">section 4<\/a> below.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <hr class=\"divider\">\r\n\r\n <!-- SECTION 2: ACCOUNT TYPES -->\r\n <h2 id=\"account-types\">Choosing the Right XM Account Type Before You Register<\/h2>\r\n <p>XM offers five real account types. You select your account type during the registration process, so it helps to decide beforehand. The key differences come down to lot size, minimum deposit, and whether you want the lowest possible spread or the flexibility of standard variable spreads.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"acc-mini\">\r\n <div class=\"acc-mini-head\">\r\n <span>Account type<\/span>\r\n <span>Min. deposit<\/span>\r\n <span>Max leverage<\/span>\r\n <span>Lot size<\/span>\r\n <span>Commission<\/span>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div class=\"acc-mini-row\">\r\n <span class=\"acc-name-col\">Standard<\/span>\r\n <span>$5<\/span>\r\n <span>1:1,000<\/span>\r\n <span>100,000<\/span>\r\n <span class=\"green\">None<\/span>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div class=\"acc-mini-row\">\r\n <span class=\"acc-name-col\">Micro<\/span>\r\n <span>$5<\/span>\r\n <span>1:1,000<\/span>\r\n <span>1,000<\/span>\r\n <span class=\"green\">None<\/span>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div class=\"acc-mini-row\">\r\n <span class=\"acc-name-col\">Ultra Low Standard<\/span>\r\n <span>$5<\/span>\r\n <span>1:1,000<\/span>\r\n <span>100,000<\/span>\r\n <span class=\"green\">None<\/span>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div class=\"acc-mini-row\">\r\n <span class=\"acc-name-col\">Ultra Low Micro<\/span>\r\n <span>$5<\/span>\r\n <span>1:1,000<\/span>\r\n <span>1,000<\/span>\r\n <span class=\"green\">None<\/span>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div class=\"acc-mini-row\">\r\n <span class=\"acc-name-col\">Shares Account<\/span>\r\n <span>$10,000<\/span>\r\n <span>No leverage<\/span>\r\n <span>1 share<\/span>\r\n <span class=\"red-t\">Applicable<\/span>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <p>For most new traders, the <strong>Standard Account<\/strong> or <strong>Micro Account<\/strong> is the natural starting point. Both have a $5 minimum deposit and no commission. The Micro Account uses a smaller lot size (1,000 units instead of 100,000), which keeps each trade's dollar value lower \u2014 useful when you are learning to manage position size.<\/p>\r\n <p>The <strong>Ultra Low accounts<\/strong> suit traders who want tighter spreads than the standard offering without paying per-trade commission. The <strong>Shares Account<\/strong> is specifically for trading individual US, UK, and German stocks on MT5, and requires a $10,000 minimum deposit.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"info-box\">\r\n You can open additional accounts of different types later \u2014 without going through KYC again \u2014 once your first real account is verified.

All are processed with SSL encryption, and XM does not charge any deposit fees regardless of which method you use.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <h3>Credit and debit card (VISA and Mastercard)<\/h3>\r\n <p>Enter your card details directly in the Member Area. Funds are credited to your trading account instantly. This is the fastest deposit method and suitable for most traders. Both VISA and Mastercard credit and debit cards are accepted.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <h3>Bank wire transfer<\/h3>\r\n <p>XM provides you with bank transfer details in the Member Area. Send funds from your bank account or via ATM. Processing takes 2\u20133 business days depending on your bank. For international wire transfers, XM covers all bank fees on deposits of $200 or more. For transfers below $200, your sending bank's fees apply.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <h3>Skrill e-wallet<\/h3>\r\n <p>Skrill deposits are instant and all fees are covered by XM. You need a Skrill account to use this method.
