How to Open an IC Markets Account
Opening an IC Markets account involves an online application, identity verification, choosing an account type and platform, then funding with the USD 200 minimum deposit.
Open Account →Opening an IC Markets account starts with an online application: traders enter personal details, choose a platform (cTrader, MetaTrader 4 or MetaTrader 5) and select an account type such as Raw Spread or Standard. Identity verification (KYC) requires a government-issued ID and a proof of address, which IC Markets reviews before the account is fully activated. Once verified, the trader funds the account with the USD 200 minimum deposit using a supported method, then downloads the chosen platform and logs in with the trading credentials issued by IC Markets. The whole process, from application to a funded live account, can typically be completed within the same day once verification documents are approved. A free demo account is also available for traders who want to practise before opening a live account.
