Why do I need to verify my account?

As a regulated company, XM operates in accordance with a number of compliance-related issues and procedures imposed by their main regulatory authority, Financial Services Authority (FSA).

These procedures involve the collection of adequate documentation from the clients with regards to KYC (Know Your Client), including the collection of a valid ID card and a recent (within 6 months) utility bill or bank account statement that confirms the address the client has registered with.

You don’t need to submit the documents again.

When you open additional trading accounts with XM, your new account will be validated automatically, as long as you will use the same personal /contact details as for your previous account.
