Overview of Account Opening Restrictions
The overview of account opening restrictions, effective July 14, 2026, involves a necessary change to the FXTRADING.com customer identity verification systems. Due to specific technical limitations associated with our third-party verification service providers, certain regions are currently unsupported for new account creation. This article outlines the specific regions affected, the criteria for restriction, and the technical reasons behind the service interruption.
Restricted Regions List
The core instructions and procedures regarding the restricted regions list designate the specific areas where identity verification services are currently unavailable. This list is actively maintained and dictates the availability of the account opening portal. Currently, the following regions are unsupported for new account registration:
Afghanistan
Pakistan
Verification Criteria for Restricted Regions
The verification criteria for restricted regions apply to any applicant who meets specific conditions linked to the unsupported regions. The identity verification system will automatically decline applications for individuals who fall into any of the following three specific categories:
Citizenship: Individuals who hold citizenship or a passport from Afghanistan or Pakistan.
Residency: Individuals who currently maintain a physical residential address or reside within Afghanistan or Pakistan.
Contact Details: Individuals who attempt to register a new account using a mobile phone number that utilizes the country code for Afghanistan or Pakistan.
As a direct result of these core verification restrictions, Afghanistan and Pakistan have been permanently removed from the country selection dropdown menu within the official account opening registration portal.
