Creating an account only takes a few minutes, but you’ll need to complete identity verification before you can deposit funds or start live trading.
Creating an account only takes a few minutes. While you can deposit funds without completing identity verification, you’ll need to complete KYC verification before you can withdraw funds or start live trading
Before creating your account, you can read our About Farlo guide to understand how the platform works.
Step 1: Create Your Account
Go to Farlo’s registration page. Enter your first name, last name, email address, and phone number. Select your country of residence and set a password. A partner code field is optional, leave it blank unless referred by an existing user.
Check the boxes agreeing to the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. Both are required. Select Register. Afterward, a confirmation screen appears, and Farlo sends a confirmation email to the address you provided.
Step 2: Confirm Your Email
Open the confirmation email and select the verification link inside it. Once your email has been verified, select OK to continue into your new Farlo account.
The Accounts dashboard loads next. The Main Wallet shows a $0.00 balance. Farlo Trade and Farlo Learn are live. Farlo Invest and Farlo Money are listed as coming soon.
Step 3: Verify Your Identity
A banner on the dashboard prompts identity verification. This step is required before you can withdraw funds and access live trading. While deposits can be made before verification, completing KYC early is recommended to avoid delays later. Verification has three sections: Documents, Personal Profile, and Security.
Documents required:
- Proof of identification: a clear photo of a passport or another valid government-issued ID. Required before opening a real trading account.
- Proof of residential address: a recent utility bill or bank statement. Can be uploaded later.
- Passport address page: required only for residents of specific countries where a local passport can serve as address proof. Can be uploaded later.
Personal Profile covers three areas:
- General information: name, birthday, nationality, and address.
- Financial details: net capital, annual income, and typical annual investment volume.
- Background: employment status, source of funds, level of education, and prior trading experience across forex, CFDs, derivatives, and transferable securities.
This information follows standard practice for a regulated financial platform, confirming identity and the legitimacy of funds. These requirements trace back to international standards set by the Financial Action Task Force, the intergovernmental body most countries’ anti-money-laundering laws are built around, not a Farlo-specific hurdle.
Step 4: Fund Your Account and Start Trading
Once verification is submitted, two options are available. The demo account uses live prices with no real money at risk, useful for exploring the platform before funding a real account. Alternatively, deposit into the Main Wallet to begin trading directly through Farlo Trade.

Tips for Faster Verification
A few factors affect review time. Clear, well-lit photos process faster than blurry or cropped ones. Documents should show all four corners and remain legible. Names on submitted documents should match the name entered during registration exactly. Submitting all three document types at once, rather than one at a time, also reduces back-and-forth.
Account Security
Use a password not reused on other sites. Farlo will never request a password or one-time code directly. Verify any message claiming to be from Farlo against the official channels linked from Farlo’s own pages before responding. Two-factor authentication, available under the Security tab in Personal Profile, adds an additional layer of protection and is worth enabling immediately after registration.
