Register an Account with Eightcap

Getting Started with Account Registration in India

Creating your trading account with Eightcap in India takes just minutes through our streamlined registration process. We’ve designed our platform specifically for Indian traders, supporting local payment methods and providing dedicated customer service during Indian business hours. Our registration system accepts all major Indian identification documents including Aadhaar cards, passports, and driving licenses.

The initial registration requires basic personal information and email verification. You’ll need a valid email address, Indian mobile number with +91 country code, and government-issued identification. Our system automatically detects Indian IP addresses and adjusts the interface to display INR currency conversions alongside USD base pricing.

We offer multiple account types tailored to different trading experience levels. Individual accounts suit most retail traders, while corporate accounts accommodate business entities and investment firms. Professional trader status provides enhanced leverage options and priority execution for qualified applicants.

Step-by-Step Registration Process

Initial Account Setup

Navigate to our official Eightcap website and locate the “Create Account” button in the top-right corner. Click this button to access our registration form designed specifically for Indian users. The form automatically detects your location and displays relevant terms and conditions for Indian residents.

Enter your personal details accurately as they appear on your government identification. This includes your full legal name, date of birth, and current residential address in India. Select “India” from the country dropdown menu to ensure proper regulatory compliance and access to India-specific features.

Choose a strong password containing at least 8 characters with uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and special symbols. Our system validates password strength in real-time and provides security recommendations. Confirm your password and proceed to email verification.

Email Verification and Mobile Confirmation

Check your email inbox for our verification message, which typically arrives within 2-3 minutes. Click the verification link to activate your account and proceed to the next registration stage. The verification link remains active for 24 hours before expiring.

Enter your Indian mobile number in the designated field, ensuring you include the +91 country code. We’ll send a 6-digit SMS verification code to confirm your phone number. This mobile number becomes your primary contact method for account security notifications and trading alerts.

Input the received SMS code within 5 minutes to complete mobile verification. Our system stores your verified contact information securely using bank-grade encryption protocols. You can update these details later through your account settings panel.

Document Verification Requirements

Acceptable Identification Documents

We accept three primary forms of identification for Indian residents: Aadhaar cards, Indian passports, and valid driving licenses issued by Indian state authorities. Upload clear, high-resolution photos or scans showing all four corners of your chosen document. The document must be current and not expired.

Aadhaar card submissions require both front and back images with clearly visible 12-digit numbers and your photograph. Passport submissions need the main information page showing your photo, passport number, and validity dates. Driving license uploads should include both sides with visible license numbers and personal details.

Our verification team reviews documents within 24-48 hours during Indian business days. We may request additional documentation if initial submissions are unclear or incomplete. Document rejection notifications include specific reasons and resubmission instructions.

Proof of Address Verification

Submit recent utility bills, bank statements, or government correspondence dated within the last 90 days. Acceptable utility bills include electricity, water, gas, or telephone bills showing your name and current Indian address. Bank statements from Indian banks (SBI, HDFC, ICICI, Axis Bank, etc.) serve as valid address proof.

Ensure your submitted address proof matches exactly with the address entered during registration. Any discrepancies will delay verification and may require additional documentation. We accept both physical mail statements and official digital statements downloaded from bank websites.

Government-issued documents like property tax receipts, voter ID cards, or PAN card correspondence also qualify as address verification. Upload documents in PDF, JPG, or PNG formats with file sizes under 5MB for optimal processing speed.

Account Configuration Options

We provide two primary account structures: Standard accounts with markup pricing and Raw accounts featuring direct market spreads plus commission. Standard accounts suit beginners with simplified fee structures, while Raw accounts benefit active traders through lower total trading costs on high-volume transactions.

Choose your base currency during account setup, though all Indian accounts default to USD with real-time INR conversion rates displayed. We support major currency pairs including USD/INR, EUR/INR, and GBP/INR for direct Indian rupee exposure. Currency selection affects deposit and withdrawal processing methods.

Configure your trading platform preferences during registration. We offer MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, and our proprietary WebTrader platform. Each platform provides different features and analytical tools suited to various trading strategies and experience levels.

• MetaTrader 4: Classic forex trading with expert advisors and custom indicators
• MetaTrader 5: Advanced order types and built-in economic calendar
• WebTrader: Browser-based trading requiring no software downloads
• Mobile apps: iOS and Android applications with biometric login options
• API access: Algorithmic trading integration for professional users

Indian credit and debit cards from Visa, Mastercard, and RuPay networks are fully supported. We accept cards issued by all major Indian banks including public sector banks (SBI, PNB, BOI) and private banks (HDFC, ICICI, Axis). Card deposits appear in your trading account within 15-30 minutes.

Digital wallet integration includes Paytm, PhonePe, and Google Pay for convenient mobile funding. Wallet deposits convert automatically from INR to USD at competitive exchange rates. We display conversion rates transparently before transaction confirmation.

All deposits are processed in USD with automatic currency conversion at interbank rates plus a 0.5% conversion fee. We provide detailed conversion calculations before finalizing transactions. Deposit confirmations include exact USD amounts credited to your trading balance.

Security Features and Account Protection

Our platform implements multi-layer security protocols specifically designed for Indian regulatory requirements. SSL encryption protects all data transmission between your device and our servers. We maintain segregated client funds in Tier-1 Indian banks, ensuring complete separation from company operational funds.

Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds extra security to your account access. Enable SMS-based 2FA using your verified Indian mobile number or app-based authentication through Google Authenticator. We recommend app-based 2FA for enhanced security and reliability.

Session monitoring detects unusual login patterns and suspicious activities. Our system automatically logs out inactive sessions after 30 minutes and sends security alerts for logins from new devices or locations. You receive immediate notifications for all account access attempts.

• Biometric login support for mobile applications
• Device registration for trusted access points
• IP address whitelisting for additional security
• Automatic logout after inactivity periods
• Real-time transaction monitoring and alerts
