Kindly make sure when completing your application to use an address that can be verified by your supporting documentation. If you cannot provide a matching proof of address on your application, we will not be able to open the account.
If we need you to provide other documents, you will be contacted with the request. They can be:

Selfie is not modified by any photo editing software. Do not wear glasses, headphones, or wireless hands-free devices, a hat, or a head covering. If you wear a hat or head covering for religious or medical purposes, please make sure that your hat or head covering does not cast shadows on your face.
Limited Power of Attorney - If you want to enable someone else to trade on your account, you (the rightful owner of the account) will need to complete and sign a Limited Power of Attorney (LPOA) document. By doing so you will authorize the person to trade on your behalf. They will not be permitted to make deposits and withdrawals. If it is a corporate, trust, or superannuation application, you will be requested to provide additional supporting documents during the application process.
