Creating a Personal Area takes only an email address and password. Your new account can still have deposit limits, though, and MT5 may show “trading is disabled” until the first deposit clears. Knowing how to open an Exness account means completing verification, choosing a trading account and funding it at the required minimum.
This guide covers the website and Exness Trade app, the verification order shown by Exness Help Center as at 16 October 2026, and the choices involved in setting up MT5. In this article, Backcom.io walks through each step, including how to enter and check a partner code if you want rebates from the outset.
What To Prepare For Exness Account Registration
Exness account registration is easier if you have six items ready before making choices that cannot later be changed.
| What you need | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| An unused email address | One email creates one Personal Area, including if it was previously used with Google sign-in. |
| Your country of residence | Choose where you live; this determines available deposit and withdrawal methods. |
| An active phone number | Receive a six-digit code by SMS or call. |
| Proof of identity | A valid national ID, passport or driving licence; account holders must be at least 18. |
| Proof of address | A utility bill or statement bearing your name and address, issued within six months. |
| Exness partner code | backcomio; this field is optional. |
The full sequence is:
Register by email → Verify email and phone → Complete the Economic Profile → Submit proof of identity → Submit proof of address → Open an MT5 account → Make the first deposit
Before sending documents, read the Exness review covering regulation and fees. Trading rules and taxes differ by place of residence. Check the rules where you live and consult a local tax professional before depositing or receiving a payout.
How To Open An Exness Account On The Web: 6 Steps
How to open an Exness account on the website follows six steps in Exness Help Center as at 16 October 2026. Initially, you need only an email address and password.
- Open the registration link: Use Backcom.io’s Exness sign-up link, which opens the official Exness site with partner code backcomio attached, then select “Create an Account.” An incognito window helps preserve the referral information.
- Choose your country and credentials: Select your actual country of residence, which cannot be changed later. Enter your email and a password meeting the on-screen rules.
- Enter a partner code, if wanted: The Partner code field is optional. Enter backcomio to link the Personal Area to Backcom; an invalid code causes the field to clear.
- Confirm US residency status: Tick the box confirming you are neither a US citizen nor a US tax resident, then select Continue.
- Verify your email: Enter the code sent to your inbox. Where Google sign-in is offered, that route may skip email code verification.
- Open the Personal Area: In Exness Terminal, use the menu at the upper right to reach Personal Area, then add a phone number and start your profile.
Common Exness Registration Problems And Fixes
If registration stops, check the likely cause:
- Email already registered: Recover the password for the existing Personal Area or use another email. Check for spaces and an earlier Google sign-in.
- Email code missing: Check Spam, resend the code, clear the browser cache or switch browsers. If it still fails, wait one hour before opening a Support Hub ticket.
- SMS missing: Check the country code or request a call. Exness Help Center notes daily SMS limits and a maximum of five new phone numbers per day.
- Partner code disappears: Re-enter backcomio without extra spaces; the field clears an invalid code.
Exness Trade App Registration: How To Open An Account On Mobile
Exness Trade app registration is available through the app published by Exness Global Limited. The App Store listing checked on 16 October 2026 says iPhone requires iOS 16.0 or later.
Download from the official stores: Exness Trade on the App Store or Exness Trade on Google Play.
Screen order can vary with the app version:
- Create an account: Select your country of residence, enter an email and compliant password, and complete a captcha if shown.
- Confirm residency: State that you are not a US citizen or resident.
- Verify email: Enter the six-digit code from your inbox.
- Add a phone number: Confirm the six-digit code received by SMS or call.
- Enter personal details: Use the name, date of birth and address on your documents; some localized screens may also ask for gender.
- Complete the profile: Declare income, occupation and trading experience, upload identity and address documents, then track progress under Profile.
MT4 requires the MetaTrader 4 app because Exness Trade supports only MT5.
Partner code note: Exness Help Center does not describe a partner-code field in the app. If the app shows a Partner code field, enter backcomio before creating the account; if it does not, register through the sign-up link above in your mobile browser first and then sign in to the app.
Web and mobile registration use the same Personal Area:
| Feature | Website | Exness Trade app |
|---|---|---|
| Partner code field | Partner code available | Not described by Help Center |
| Platform | Can open MT4 and MT5 | MT5 only |
| Document uploads | JPEG, BMP, PNG or PDF, up to 50 MB | Same formats and limit |
| Best when | You need the code or MT4 | You manage MT5 on mobile |
Exness Account Verification: Documents And Deposit Limits
Exness account verification establishes identity and residence before deposit limits are lifted. It covers the Economic Profile, proof of identity (POI) and proof of address (POA). Exness Help Center, checked on 16 October 2026, puts the Economic Profile before document submission.
Complete the stages in order:
- Email and phone: Confirm both contacts.
- Personal details: Match your documents exactly.
- Economic Profile: Answer the questionnaire.
- Proof of identity: Upload a clear document.
- Proof of address: Upload evidence of your residence.
Accepted Proof Of Identity And Proof Of Address
Prepare these documents and file types:
- POI: A valid passport, national ID or driving licence with a photo and matching name. The account holder must be at least 18.
- POA: A utility bill, statement, tax notice or residence document showing your name and address, issued within six months.
- Not accepted as POA: Medical bills, shopping receipts and insurance documents.
- Files: JPEG, BMP, PNG or PDF, up to 50 MB per file.
Deposit Limits Before Verification And The 30-Day Deadline
Deposit access depends on how far verification has progressed:
| Verification level | Completed | Deposit limit |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | Email and/or phone, personal details | Low |
| Partial | Economic Profile and valid POI added | Still capped, but higher |
| Full | POA accepted | Uncapped, subject to payment-method limits |
Some regions block deposits until full verification. Exness Help Center, checked on 16 October 2026, directs traders to the limits displayed in their Personal Area.
Full verification deadline = Date of first deposit + 30 days
An older Help Center article says an account past that deadline is blocked, leaving withdrawals only. Check the remaining days in your Personal Area rather than assuming the clock starts at registration.
How Long Does Review Take, And Why Are Documents Rejected?
Exness Help Center allows up to 24 hours for review. You cannot resubmit while a document is pending. Open a Support Hub ticket if the review passes that window.
Common rejection reasons include:
- Blurred image: The text cannot be read.
- Edited image: Document contents appear altered.
- Expired document: The document has expired or is close to expiry.
- Incomplete image: A corner or page is missing.
- Wrong POA or file: The document is older than six months, is an ineligible type or exceeds 50 MB.
Read the email or “Rejection reason” first. Contact support after 10 failed uploads.
How To Open An Exness MT5 Account And Make Your First Deposit
How to open an Exness MT5 account starts inside Personal Area. A trading account has its own number, server and password, and Exness Help Center says creating one is free.
Choose An Exness Account Type Before You Create It
The first-deposit requirement depends on account type:
| Account type | First deposit | Commission | Demo available |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | Payment method minimum | None | Yes |
| Standard Cent | Payment method minimum; USD 5 displays as 500 USC | None | No |
| Pro | From USD 200, depending on region | None | Yes |
| Raw Spread | From USD 200, depending on region | Up to USD 3.50 per lot, per side | Yes |
| Zero | From USD 200, depending on region | From USD 0.05 per lot, per side | Yes |
Professional account first-deposit amounts vary by region, according to Exness Help Center as at 16 October 2026. Check your Personal Area before paying.
This guide uses the Help Center figure because Professional minimums vary by region. Compare other trading features in the Exness account types guide.
Steps To Open An Exness MT5 Account In Personal Area
Follow this order:
- Go to My Accounts: Sign in, select “My Accounts,” then “Open Account.”
- Choose a type: Select Standard, Standard Cent, Pro, Raw Spread or Zero.
- Choose Real or Demo: Pick Demo if needed, except for Standard Cent.
- Set it up: Choose currency, nickname, maximum leverage, MT5 and a trading password. Pro also asks for an execution type.
- Save the details: Record the assigned account number, server and trading password.
Account type and server cannot be changed after creation; open another account if you need a different type. The three-dot menu lets you change the nickname and use “Adjust leverage.” An unfunded account may show “trading is disabled.” The Exness MT4/MT5 login guide explains how the number, server and password work together.
First Deposit: Which Minimum Applies?
Each payment method has its own minimum. Your first deposit must meet whichever is higher: the account-type first-deposit requirement or the payment-method minimum. Exness Help Center gives an example: if the account requires USD 200 and the method requires USD 10, your first deposit must still be at least USD 200.
Exness Partner Code: Rebates And Exness Checker
An Exness partner code links your Personal Area to an introducing partner. Exness says the code is the final part of a partner link. As at 16 October 2026, the Exness rebate page lists these terms for backcomio:
- Rate: Up to USD 14.40 per lot, depending on product and account type; actual rates change daily.
- Payout time: Processed daily between 04:00 and 06:00 UTC.
- Destination: Credited to the trading account in USD or USC.
- Eligibility: No minimum trading volume, but only live Standard, Standard Cent, Pro, Raw Spread and Zero accounts qualify.
The Exness rebate page lists rates by account type and provides an account-opening button with the code. Backcom.io is an independent introducing broker (IB) for Exness. It receives broker commission and returns a portion to traders as rebates; see the risk disclaimer.
Before your first trade, verify the link using Exness Checker:
- Check Email: Enter the registered email to check whether the Personal Area is linked to Backcom.
- Check Backcom: Enter a trading-account number to check rebate linkage.
- Reports: View or download a CSV of rebated trades for a selected date range.
Already Have An Exness Account Or Forgot The Partner Code?
You can open a Personal Area with another email, enter backcomio and reuse your phone number and documents. Alternatively, request a partner change through Exness support. Exness assesses each request individually; the rebate page gives 24–48 hours as the timeframe. Existing trading accounts remain with the old partner, so create a new MT4 or MT5 account. See the Exness partner transfer guide.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About Exness Account Registration
Is Exness Account Registration Free?
Yes. Exness Help Center, checked on 16 October 2026, says both Personal Area registration and trading-account creation are free. Funding is separate: Standard and Standard Cent minimums follow the payment method, while Pro, Raw Spread and Zero start from USD 200 depending on region. Review the amount shown in your Personal Area before depositing.
How Long Does Exness Account Verification Take?
Document review may take up to 24 hours, according to Exness Help Center. If it runs longer, open a Support Hub ticket. A readable identity image and POA issued within six months can help avoid rejection. You cannot upload a replacement while the first submission is still pending.
Can I Deposit And Trade Before Full Verification?
Possibly, but the deposit limit remains low, and some regions block deposits until verification is complete. An MT5 account without a first deposit may report “trading is disabled.” An older Help Center article describes a 30-day period from the first deposit to finish verification; after it expires, only withdrawals remain available.
How Many Exness Accounts Can One Email Open?
One email creates one Personal Area. Within it, a Standard account can have up to 100 real MT5, 100 real MT4 and 100 demo accounts per platform. Those are trading-account counts, not separate Personal Areas. Keep the login email and each trading account’s server and password distinct.
What Are The Conditions For Changing An Exness Partner?
Exness Help Center has not published a fixed eligibility checklist. A change request requires ownership verification and individual review by Exness. If it is not approved, you can create a Personal Area with another email and enter the Exness partner code backcomio. Existing accounts stay with the previous partner, so open a new trading account and confirm the link in Exness Checker.
Conclusion: Finish Verification Before You Trade
How to open an Exness account begins with an email address, but trading requires the right account setup, verification and a sufficient first deposit. Prepare separate identity and address documents, complete the Economic Profile before POI and POA, then choose your MT5 account type carefully. Deposit at least the higher of the account and payment-method minimums.
If you want rebates, use the Exness rebate page, check the partner link with Exness Checker and read the rebate rates, calculation and payout guide.
