Applying for a Capital Index MT4 account is quick and easy. The online application takes less than 5 minutes to complete and can be accessed using the following link: Open a live trading account.

What documents do I need to open a trading account?

Know Your Customer (KYC) or Know Your Client is a form of due diligence which helps to ensure that financial institutions have detailed information about their clients.

Not only does this enable Capital Index to better understand our clients' requirements (including considerations such as risk tolerance and investment preferences), it also aims to clearly identify who the institution is dealing with and helps to prevent fraud on customer accounts.

Upon completion of your application, we will notify you if we require any supporting documents. This is usually a form of ID and current proof of residence. The requirements may vary depending on where you are resident.

How can I open an additional account?

If you have an existing MetaTrader 4 account, you may request another one by sending an email to support@capitalindex.com. You can open up to a maximum of five accounts. Only one account will show at a time in the MT4 Client Terminal. To view the other accounts, you will need to log into them individually.
