There are a few important points to keep in mind when opening an account with XM. By understanding these beforehand, you can start trading as quickly as possible. The key points to note when opening an XM account are as follows:

Your first XM account will be created automatically.

When you register for an XM account, an MT5 Standard account (base currency: Japanese Yen, leverage: 1,000x) will be automatically opened. Please note that you cannot select your initial account type. If you wish to trade using a different account type, we recommend opening an additional account. This is a simple process—just apply through the Members Page or the XM app (XM Smartphone App). Opening an additional account takes only a few minutes, allowing you to trade in your preferred account type. Please note that you must complete account activation by submitting the required documents (proof of identity and proof of address) before you can open an additional account.

Providing investor information does not affect account opening.

The investor information you provide when verifying your XM profile (activating a real account) does not affect your eligibility to open an account. During profile verification, XM asks for details such as your investment intentions, occupation, source of income, total income, and total assets. Rest assured that account approval will not be denied based on this information. However, please note that you must meet the age and country of residence requirements to open a new XM account.

If you are unable to open a new XMTrading account, it may be because you do not meet the requirements for opening an XM account or due to one of the following reasons:

XM will send an email with the subject “Email Address Verification” to the email address you provided during registration. If you do not receive the email, it may be because the address you entered is incorrect. After checking your spam folder, please re-register your account, ensuring that all information is entered correctly. Note that you cannot proceed with the XM account opening process until your email address has been verified.
