How to Complete Your eToro Account Verification

Even though you are still enabled to trade and deposit into an eToro account without verification, there are some outstanding benefits of verifying your eToro account from the beginning, including:

• Full trading capability
• The faster withdrawal process
• Especially, no limitation on your deposit (unverified accounts are limited to a total deposit amount of €2000)

So all clients need to provide requested information and verify as soon as possible.

And to get your eToro live account up and running, you need to perform 2 processes: complete your personal information first and then verify your eToro account. Below are specific steps you should follow to activate your eToro account:

1. Completing Your Personal Information

The first step on the road to your eToro account verification is confirming your personal information.

When you first click on the button “Complete profile” on your live account,  you’ll be brought to a pop-up window.

From the beginning of the pop-up windows, you will be asked to confirm your basic name, address, and personal information.

When finishing, you will be presented with some short quiz questions designed to assess your level of investing experience and trading knowledge.

By testing their prior financial knowledge through questions like this, eToro could better understand your need and how to best accommodate your demand as a trader.

These types of questions, such as your risk tolerance, are beneficial to you. Based on your answer, eToro will mitigate risk for new users.  And some limits may automatically be adjusted by eToro after opening an account (determine your suitability for leverage, for instance).

Then, you will have to answer a few short questions related to your employment, individual income, and other financial details.

Now, you have completed 70% of your profile and move on to the next process: Verify Your Identity.

Notes: You had better be as accurate as possible when filling out this form as eToro will use these answers to tailor their service toward your trading needs and create the best trading environment possible for you. Furthermore, this also potentially helps accelerate the verification process.

In case the system finds you provide inaccurate answers to some of the questions, it may cause problems during the authentication process later, and your account even might not be approved. So, be careful!
