Register with your email and a password on the Exness site, choose an account type, complete the profile checks Exness asks for, then fund the account from a payment method in your own name (third-party payments are not allowed1). Standard has no fixed minimum initial deposit2; Pro, Raw Spread and Zero need at least 200 USD, depending on regional requirements3.

Step one: check the rules where you live
The entity that opens your account depends on your country, and so does whether you should open one at all. Read the page for your country first: South Africa (FSCA), Kenya (CMA) or Nigeria (SEC rules). The global site does not serve certain jurisdictions, including the USA, Canada, Europe, the UK, Russia and Belarus4.
Step two: register
Open the Exness sign-up page, enter your email and a password. Exness's Help Center describes the form this way: an optional Partner code field comes after the email and password and before the confirmation that you are not a U.S. citizen or resident; an invalid code clears the field so you can try again5. Kenyan residents are directed to a Kenya-dedicated Exness website (exness.ke), which Exness says is regulated by the CMA4.
Step three: choose the account type
| Account | Commission | Minimum first deposit |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | no commission4 | no fixed minimum initial deposit2 |
| Raw Spread | up to $3.50 each side per lot6 | at least 200 USD, depending on regional requirements3 |
| Zero | from $0.05 each side per lot6 | at least 200 USD, depending on regional requirements3 |
Not sure? Start on Standard and compare costs later with the spread and commission calculator.
Step four: verify your profile
Follow the verification steps your Personal Area shows for your country, using your own documents. Read the client agreement while you are there: it names the entity and the regulator that cover your account.
Step five: make your first deposit
The minimum that applies to you is the one shown for your payment method; after the first deposit it depends only on the payment method3. Country details are in the Exness minimum deposit guide, and the rest of the silo is on the Exness start page.
