Before you hit ‘apply’

Becoming a professional client comes with important changes. Here’s what you need to know.

Higher leverage1

Professional accounts offer higher leverage than retail accounts. This increases exposure but can also amplify losses if markets move against you.

Negative balance protection

Negative balance protection applies by default to Professional accounts. However, it may be removed on a case-by-case basis. If this occurs, losses may exceed your account balance, and additional payments may be required.

Sophisticated language and assumed experience

Professional clients are assumed to have greater trading knowledge and experience. Our communications therefore assume familiarity with markets and trading concepts.

Reduced risk warnings

Professional clients do not receive written risk warnings in relation to individual transactions, reflecting their assessed level of experience.

Potential restrictions on complaints

Professional clients operate under a different regulatory framework, which may limit access to certain complaint handling or compensation arrangements, including investor compensation schemes available to retail clients.

Full market exposure – with low margin requirements.1
