Opening an FxPro account from Kenya.

Before any FxPro login exists, there is a registration. It happens online, in FxPro Direct, and it asks for four things in turn: an email address, two documents, a choice of account type and — only when you decide to trade — a first deposit. Here is what each of them involves.

CFDs are leveraged products and can lose you money fast.

What registration asks for, in order

No branch to visit and nothing to post: the whole sequence runs inside the client portal, and the first two items are the only ones that need any preparation.

  1. An email address you actually read. The sign-up form builds your FxPro Direct profile from an email address and a few personal details. That address becomes your portal login and the place password resets are sent, so an old or shared inbox is a poor choice.
  2. Two documents for verification. According to FxPro, verification takes a proof of identity — a passport or a national ID card — and a proof of address, such as a utility bill or a bank statement. Both are uploaded inside the portal as photos or scans.
  3. An account type. Standard keeps the cost in the spread, from 1.2 pips with no commission. Raw+ starts at 0.0 pips and charges $3.50 per lot per side, per FxPro’s published terms. The table below sets them side by side.
  4. A first deposit, when you choose. Registering costs nothing. The minimum first deposit is $100 by card or bank wire, according to FxPro, while e-wallets such as Skrill and Neteller set their own minimums. The money lands in your FxPro Wallet first and moves to a trading account from there.
Types

Standard or Raw+: where the cost sits

The two account types differ in one main way — whether you pay through the spread or through a commission on each lot.

“From” figures are minimums, not averages: live spreads move with the market. A swap-free version is available, according to FxPro.

After

After registration: your first FxPro login

The profile is the key to everything that follows. What changes once it exists:

The portal login. From now on you sign in to FxPro Direct with the registered email and your password, or with a one-time code in the FxPro app, as FxPro describes it. The sign-in sheet covers resets and refused logins.

The platform logins. Each trading account you open in the portal comes with its own details: an account number, password and server for MT4 or MT5, or a cTrader ID for cTrader. They are separate from the portal login.

The practice option. A demo account with virtual funds opens from the same profile with no deposit, according to FxPro — a way to learn the platform before any money moves.

Balances in Kenya. Account figures show in the account’s base currency, often US dollars, not in shillings. Plan the $100 first deposit as its equivalent from your card or bank.

Asked

Opening an FxPro account: short answers

Does it cost anything to register with FxPro?

No. Registration is free; the $100 minimum applies only when you make a first deposit by card or bank wire.

Which documents does FxPro ask for?

Two, according to FxPro: a proof of identity, such as a passport or national ID card, and a proof of address, such as a utility bill or bank statement.

Can I switch from Standard to Raw+ later?

You add rather than switch. One FxPro Direct profile can hold several trading accounts, according to FxPro, so a Raw+ account can sit next to a Standard one.

Can I practise before depositing?

Yes. A demo account runs on virtual funds and opens from the same FxPro Direct profile, with no deposit needed.

Register once, then sign in.

The profile you create today is the login you will use tomorrow. Have the two documents ready, choose the account type that fits how you trade, and fund it only when you are ready.
