We also accept evidence from other regulatory bodies or associations. If you are unable to provide this evidence or a different form of proof of trading at the moment, you can skip this part of the process but we’ll need to see proof of trading within six months of your account being opened. If you don’t provide this within six months we’ll be in touch to discuss next steps
