You can register a free account entirely online within 10 minutes. DEGIRO uses derived bank identification to confirm your identity. This means that there is no complicated paperwork to fill in but you will need to make an initial money transfer to gain access to the platform. Please be aware the minimum of this transfer is £0.01.
After making a manual money transfer, your funds will be allocated to your account typically between 2-3 working days. Once your funds are allocated to your account, you will receive a confirmation email from us and will have full access to the WebTrader.
We verify the identity of the party opening the DEGIRO account using a process called bank derived identification. In order to use bank derived identification, we require the name on the bank account to be the same as that used during the registration process.
Once the initial payment is received and identification confirmed, your account will be opened. This payment must be made from the registered bank account.
The minimum of this transfer is £0.01 so you can transfer a small sum to open the account before funding it with a larger amount.
