Understanding English language Verification Requirements
Our company enforces thorough verification protocols to comply with regulations and safeguard accounts for clients in Malta. The verification process includes submitting documents that prove identity, residential details, and financial standing to trade forex and CFDs. Accepted documents for Malta residents include government-issued IDs, recent proof of address, and financial statements. Processing times typically range from 24 to 48 hours after full submission of required documentation. Verified accounts gain access to enhanced trading features such as advanced charts, faster execution speeds, and increased trading limits.
We accept documents solely in English, eliminating translation delays. Due to EU regulatory alignment, Malta-based clients enjoy expedited verification and seamless banking integration. This verification is mandatory to unlock the full scope of our platform’s capabilities including access to forex currency pairs and CFD indices.
Document Categories Required:

Initial Account Registration Steps
Registration begins on our platform’s main interface where Malta residents select their country and enter personal data including full legal name, date of birth, and contact details. The system auto-detects Malta IP addresses, sets currency to EUR, and presents applicable regulatory disclosures. Email verification is instantaneous with confirmation links sent promptly. Phone verification is conducted via SMS codes compatible with Malta’s major providers: GO, Melita, and Epic Communications.
Upon completing registration, users gain a limited account to explore the platform, while live trading remains disabled until verification concludes. Demo accounts activate immediately, allowing practice with virtual funds.
Registration Information Required:
- Legal name matching identification documents
- Valid Malta mobile number for SMS verification
- Secure and accessible email address
- Password complying with security protocols
- Acceptance of terms, conditions, and disclosures
Identity Document Submission Process
Clients upload high-resolution photos or scans of Malta passports or national ID cards through our automated upload system. The platform prioritizes Malta-issued documents with advanced optical character recognition (OCR) and hologram detection. Uploaded images must be clear, fully visible, and free from shadows or glare. Submissions failing these criteria prompt immediate resubmission requests.
Our backend performs security validation that includes font consistency checks, holographic feature analysis, and cross-checking with government databases via secure EU channels. These steps reduce verification time for Malta residents significantly.
Acceptable Malta Identification Documents
Primary identification includes Malta passports and national ID cards, both embedded with security chips and holograms. Secondary IDs like Malta driving licenses are accepted only alongside primary documents. Documents must be valid; expired or temporary IDs are not accepted. Additionally, EU member state ID cards with Malta residency proof qualify but require manual review, adding 12-24 hours to processing.
Document Quality Standards
Uploaded images must meet minimum 300 DPI resolution and show all four corners. The system rejects digitally edited files or screenshots due to compression artifacts. Automated feedback guides users in case of quality issues, enabling quick resubmission. Malta’s standardized document formats result in first-time approval rates exceeding 85%.
Address Verification for Malta Residents
Proof of residence must be recent (within three months) and display the client’s Malta address. Accepted documents include utility bills from Malta providers such as GO and Enemalta, and bank statements from licensed Maltese banks. All must clearly show the client’s name and address matching registration data.
Mobile phone bills, insurance papers, or subscription invoices are not accepted as primary proof. Secondary documents may be accepted only for manual compliance review. Accurate address formatting aligned with MaltaPost standards is essential for approval.
Accepted Address Documents:
- Electricity bills from Enemalta or alternatives
- Water bills from Water Services Corporation
- Telecom invoices from GO, Melita, or Epic
- Bank statements from Malta-licensed banks
- Municipal tax statements from local councils
| Service Provider | Document Type | Typical Processing | Special Requirements |

| GO | Fixed line/Internet bill | 2-4 hours | Mobile bills excluded |
| Bank of Valletta | Account statement | 4-6 hours | Recent transactions required |
| Local Council | Tax statement | 6-12 hours | Annual statements accepted |
Financial Verification Requirements
We verify financial standing through bank statements, employment contracts, or investment portfolios. Malta residents must prove sufficient capital aligned with their trading plans. Bank statements must cover at least three consecutive months with consistent income or balances. Accepted statements come from Malta-licensed banks or recognized international institutions with Malta operations.
Self-employed individuals may submit business registration documents from Malta Enterprise along with financial records or tax returns. This ensures their declared income supports intended trading activities.
Financial Documentation Options:
- Three consecutive months of bank statements displaying income
- Employment contracts with salary details
- Investment account statements from licensed providers
- Business ownership documents with financial statements
- Pension or social benefit documentation from Maltese authorities
Income Verification Standards
Monthly income below EUR 2,000 triggers additional risk warnings and trading limits. Employment verification requires current contracts or payslips from Malta-based or internationally recognized firms. Temporary contracts require supplementary evidence. Investment income demands supporting documents such as tax returns or dividend statements. We cross-verify income sources to ensure consistency and compliance.
Enhanced Verification for Professional Accounts
Malta clients applying for professional status undergo stricter verification proving trading experience, financial expertise, and capital adequacy. Applications require meeting at least two criteria: significant portfolio value, financial services employment, or extensive trading history. Additional steps include phone interviews and document verification.
Professional accounts gain access to higher leverage, reduced margin requirements, and advanced tools not available to retail clients. The process aligns with Malta Financial Services Authority professional client regulations and takes 3-5 business days.
Professional Client Criteria:
- Investment portfolio exceeding EUR 500,000
- At least two years of employment in financial services
- Demonstrated trading experience with substantial transaction volumes
- Relevant professional certifications in finance
| Verification Level | Requirements | Processing Time | Account Benefits |

| Standard Retail | Basic documents | 24-48 hours | Standard leverage, full protection |
| Enhanced Retail | Additional financial proof | 2-3 days | Higher limits, priority support |
| Professional | Extensive documentation | 3-5 days | Maximum leverage, advanced tools |
Professional Trading Experience Assessment
Experience verification uses broker statements, trading logs, and employment history. Malta clients must demonstrate significant market activity over time. The assessment evaluates transaction volumes, risk management skills, and understanding of complex instruments. Verification includes document review and structured interviews. Approved professionals access institutional-grade execution, advanced order types, and direct market access.
Verification Status Monitoring
The client portal offers real-time tracking of verification stages. Malta users receive automated emails confirming document receipt, processing progress, and final approval. SMS alerts notify urgent actions or status changes. The platform logs all submission history with timestamps for transparency. Verification completion automatically lifts trading restrictions, enabling immediate market participation.

Common Verification Delays
Most delays stem from poor document quality or address mismatches. Blurred images or missing document features require resubmission. Address mismatches involving postal codes or street names cause holds until corrected. Expired documents are rejected regardless of recent use. Malta residents should ensure all documents remain valid during the process.
