Get started

Open your account

A few details to get started, then a specialist takes it from there. No payment is taken at this step.

01

What you'll need

  • An email address you actually check.
  • A phone number, so a specialist can reach you.
  • An identity document, for the verification step later.

What happens after you send the form

The verification call

A specialist calls to confirm the details you submitted, answer questions, and agree on a sensible starting amount for you. It's a conversation, not a sales script โ€” an account opened on unrealistic expectations isn't useful to anyone.

How long it takes

Usually one call, ten to fifteen minutes. If you'd rather be called at a specific time, mention it on the form and that time will be respected.

Identity checks explained

Before your first deposit, you'll be asked for photo ID and a recent document showing your address. This is the same requirement any regulated financial service has, and it exists so a withdrawal can only ever return to you.

What's accepted

A passport or provincial ID, plus a utility bill or bank statement from the last three months. A clear photo taken on your phone works just fine.

What happens next

  1. You send the form

    It takes about a minute and costs nothing.

  2. A specialist calls you

    They confirm your details, answer questions and explain next steps. No pressure to deposit.

  3. You verify and choose an amount

    Only then does any money move โ€” and only the amount you choose.

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of some or all of the capital you invest. The value of investments can go down as well as up, and you may get back less than you originally put in. Never invest money you cannot afford to lose.
