FAQ
  • If I start with a Demo account during initial sign-up, when do I need to verify my identity?

    • If you sign up for the first time and choose "Try Demo," you can immediately test the platform in a simulated market environment without completing identity verification.

    • Whenever you want to perform actions or access features related to a live account (such as opening a real account, depositing funds, or setting up payment methods), the system will prompt you to complete identity verification first, asking if you would like to verify your identity right away.

    • Once confirmed, you will be directed to the document upload page for identity and address verification (POI & POA). After your documents are approved, full access to all features and transactions will be unlocked.

  • 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?
