What is the fastest way to open a live account?

Opening an account is a simple, three-step process.

Once an application is received and processed, an account number will be sent by email within one to two business days. If you are issued a temporary ID, once the application is complete and funds are processed, a permanent account number will be sent. - Submit the required documents.
Typically, FXCM requires 2 documents: A Government Issued Identification and a Proof of Residence. You will be contacted if additional documents are needed.
You may upload your documents to www.MyFXCM.com. Login using the account number and password emailed to you upon completion of the application. If you are unable to login to www.MyFXCM.com, you may also submit your documents as scanned images (JPG, GIF, BMP, DOC, PDF-no password protection please) to our new accounts department at [email protected], or via fax +1 212 897 7669 (international). - Fund your account.
