General FAQs
Once a completed application is received, it will be processed in one business day. In addition to the account application, Supreme FX must also verify the identity and address of each account holder. For this reason a copy of a government issued ID such as a passport or driver’s license as well as a proof of residency are required. Once all documents are received, they will be reviewed and notification of approval sent to the email address provided by the trader during the application process. If all documents are submitted, the verification process should take no longer than 2 business days at most.
Scanned copies of a passport, driver’s license, or national identity card are all acceptable forms of identification; expired documents will not be accepted. Supreme FX must also verify the address of its account holders. Examples of acceptable documents are either a bank statement or utility bill. It is important to note that the document is no older than 3 months and matches both the name and address supplied on the application.
Funds can be deposited at any time during the application process; however, the application must be fully verified before live trading is activated.
Because forex is an OTC (over the counter) market, there is not a government body which oversees the taxation of FX trading. Supreme FX highly suggests speaking with either a financial planner or tax advisor regarding the tax implications of trading forex.
Supreme FX will gladly wire funds to any bank account that is registered in the name of the account holder. It is not possible, however, to wire funds to a bank account owned by another individual or entity as this would be considered money-laundering.
