How do I apply for my Live account?

Written by Phoenix Labs
Live FundingInvitation-only real-money accounts: how you are called, what moves with you, how your Live account works and how you withdraw.

The application takes a few minutes on the Live Desk. Your identity is never typed again: your name and date of birth come from your approved Phoenix Identity check, and the form only asks for what is missing.

  1. 1
    Identity. Already verified with Phoenix Identity? It shows as verified. If not, verify first: the application cannot be sent without it.
  2. 2
    Phone number, with its country code. We call before any change to your account.
  3. 3
    Country of residence and address. They must match your proof of address.
  4. 4
    Social Security number, for US residents only.
  5. 5
    Proof of address: a bill, bank statement or tax letter under 90 days old, in your name, as a PDF, JPG or PNG of up to 10 MB.
  6. 6
    Your exchanges: at least one of CME, CBOT, NYMEX or COMEX. Each one carries a monthly market data fee, see What does market data cost on Live?
  7. 7
    Sign your terms. Read them, tick to accept, and type your full legal name exactly as it appears on your terms.
