Account registration & verification
Account verification is an initial step in trading that enhances security and helps ensure the integrity of financial transactions. It not only safeguards your account but also ensures compliance with regulatory requirements, providing a safer and more trustworthy trading environment.
At markets.com, account verification is straightforward. The process takes about one business day after all the required documents are submitted.
You have to go through our verification process when you set up an account with us.
However, if you are facing problems with your account, you may need to resubmit your documents so we can verify your identity once more.
At times, your request to add funds to your account may be pending. This may occur when the account or payment verification process has not been completed.
If you have any questions or difficulties uploading your documents, you can contact our customer support team.
They will let you know the requirements for your account to be reactivated. We will email you as soon as we have this information.
If the issue persists, you may need to check with your payment provider or contact customer support.
