Onboarding & Compliance

Trade safely — get onboarded first

For the safety and compliance of all parties, all clients must complete a one-time KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) onboarding before trading. This is a legal and regulatory requirement.

🔐
Why do we require KYC & AML onboarding?
We are committed to operating responsibly. KYC and AML procedures protect you as a client, protect us as a business, and ensure all transactions on our platform are legitimate and traceable. No trading — online or offline — begins without completed onboarding.
