Open a trading account for natural persons

Before opening a trading account with Admiral Markets AS (“we”, “us”, or “our”) and commencing trading, you are required to review the relevant agreements and other documents that set out the terms and conditions governing our services. Please refer to the clickable list of documents below for full details. These documents are intended to inform you of our legal obligations, your rights as a client, and our general business practices.

Know-Your-Customer (KYC) Procedure

  1. As part of the account opening process, you are expected to initiate the Know-Your-Customer (KYC) procedure independently by registering via the Dashboard. Once registered, you will be guided through the verification steps using the functionality provided by our identity verification services provider.
  2. This process enables us to complete your account registration in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements. Please follow the instructions provided in the Dashboard to progress with your application. Our representatives, or those of our identity verification services provider, may contact you if further clarification or assistance is required during the KYC process.

Identity Verification and Required Documents

  1. To complete identity verification, please follow the steps provided by our identity verification services provider. This typically involves a live verification process, which requires you to show your face and a valid passport or government-issued photo ID card to your mobile device’s camera. If you experience issues with your device’s camera, you may alternatively upload a photo of your ID document manually, where supported by the verification system.
  2. We reserve the right to request additional information and documents – such as proof of address (e.g., utility bills), bank statements, or other supporting documentation – either directly, through our identity verification services provider, or by other appropriate means, if deemed necessary as part of the due diligence measures for the prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing.

Documents Setting Out the Terms and Conditions Governing Our Services

Before entering into the client agreement with us, you are required to review, understand, and accept the following documents, which set out the terms and conditions governing our services.



Key Information Documents

As of 1 January 2018, Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 on key information documents for packaged retail and insurance-based investment products (PRIIPs) entered into force.

Under this Regulation, certain investment products can be offered to retail investors only if the product manufacturer has prepared and provided a Key Information Document (“KID”). The KID must contain clear, relevant, and standardised information to help investors understand the nature, risks, and costs associated with the product.

Below is a list of KIDs prepared by us for the investment products we manufacture. You are strongly encouraged to carefully read the KIDs applicable to the product(s) you intend to trade, in order to fully understand their characteristics, associated risks, and cost structure, before entering into any transaction involving a product subject to the PRIIPs Regulation.



Key Investor Information Documents

Below is a list of Key Investor Information Documents (“KIIDs”) prepared by us in accordance with Directive 2009/65/EC on the coordination of laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating to undertakings for collective investment in transferable securities (UCITS), as well as the Estonian Investment Funds Act (Investeerimisfondide seadus), which transposes the aforementioned Directive into Estonian law. These KIIDs have been prepared for investment funds made available to retail investors.

You are strongly encouraged to carefully read the KIIDs listed below to fully understand the investment objectives, risk profile, charges, and historical performance of the relevant UCITS fund, before making any investment decision.
