Customer knowledge assessment (CKA)

As a MAS regulated broker we have a responsibility to assess the investment knowledge and experience of our customers. As part of your application to trade with us, we will ask you experience questions, known as the Customer Knowledge Assessment (CKA).

It is important that you answer these questions accurately so that we may gauge your level of trading experience.

If your answers show that you do not meet the necessary level of experience, you will be referred to a regulator endorsed third-party website to complete a free e-learning module on CFDs to improve your knowledge. You will need to send your completion certificate to frontdesk@ to progress your application.
