Opening an IUX account is a quick and seamless process. From registration to identity verification and account setup, the steps are designed to help you start trading efficiently and securely. Below is a simple overview of the process:

1. Register and Open Your IUX Account 

The first step is creating your profile on the platform:

  2. Click "Open Account" and select your country of residence. (Note: This cannot be changed later and affects your deposit/withdrawal options).
  3. Accept the terms and conditions, then click "Create Account."
  4. Enter your email address, verify your email, and create a secure password.
  5. Create your profile.
  6. Verify your identity (POI and POA).
  7. Choose your preferred trading account type and complete your personal profile.

2. Verify Your Identity and Address (POI, POA & POB)

To ensure full account functionality and unlimited withdrawals, you must complete the IUX verification process:

  1. POI (Proof of Identity): Upload your ID card, passport, or driver’s license.
  2. POA (Proof of Address): Required in specific cases to verify your residency.
  3. POB (Proof of Bank): Upload a copy of your bank book (the name must match your registration).

FAQ
  • How long does IUX account approval take?

    The KYC process (POI and POB) typically takes within 24 business hours. Once approved, you can start trading immediately.

  • Why is Proof of Address (POA) sometimes requested?

    POA is requested for enhanced security or when trading volumes reach a certain threshold, following international financial standards.

  • Where can I find my MT5 Server name?

    Your server name is located on your "Account Card" within the IUX dashboard (available on both the web and the app).

  • How long do deposits take to reflect in my portfolio?

    Most deposit channels are instant. If the balance doesn't update immediately, it may take up to 24 hours depending on the provider.

  • Can I use a friend’s bank account to deposit?

    No. To prevent money laundering, the name on the bank account must match your IUX account name exactly.

  • What should I do if I forget my trading password?

    You can reset it manually. Go to "Account Card" in the IUX app or website, select your account, and click "Change MT5 Password."
