Registration takes a few minutes. The full path from sign-up to first investment

  • Go to the registration page and select Private account.

  • Enter your email and create a password. If you have a referral code, enter it at this step.

  • Agree to the General Terms, Privacy Policy, and Declaration, and confirm you are not a Politically Exposed Person (PEP).

  • Click Continue, then activate your account via the confirmation link sent to your email.

  • Log in and complete identity verification (KYC) — you will need a valid passport, national ID, or residence permit.

  • Complete Proof of Address (POA). This step unlocks deposits, withdrawals, and your first investment.

  • Deposit funds via SEPA transfer (minimum €50). Make sure to include your personal deposit reference number in the payment details — it is displayed in the Deposit section of your account. Transfers without a reference cannot be matched and will be returned.

  • Choose a project and place your first investment.

  • After your first investment, you will receive Form A to sign via email — a one-time document confirming you are the beneficial owner of the invested funds. Once signed, full platform access is unlocked, including AutoInvest and all further investments.
