How do I sign up for an account?

How do I open an account?

You can easily open a free personal or business account by navigating to the Sign Up page in the top menu. Follow the registration steps, provide your personal, and company information, and upload the required validation documents. Once your account is activated, you can start booking your first trades.

How soon after opening an account can I exchange money?

After you fill in the registration form, you will be required to upload an ID and a bank statement so we can verify your identity.

It usually takes less than 1 business day for us to activate your account, and you can start exchanging currency right away. 

Here are the documents you will need to provide:

  • a high-quality photo or scan of a valid piece of identification (such as a driver's license or passport)
  • a bank statement or screenshot of your online banking profile that displays your name and the account number for at least one deposit account in Canada.

We will contact you by email if we require additional information. If you do not receive an email or an update of your activation status in your online account within one business day, kindly check your spam inbox.

You can also request a rush opening by emailing [email protected] and we can try to do it in a few minutes for you.

Once your account has been activated, we will notify you via your online account and send you an email with your KnightsbridgeFX account number. Once you have your account number, you can easily book an exchange online via your account or offline -- by calling our trading floor at 1-877-355-5239, requesting a callback, emailing us at [email protected], or using the chat (within your online account or on the website).

How do I upload my verification documents?

Upon filling out the registration forms with your details, you will be taken to your online account where you can upload your documents as part of the identity verification process.
You can also email the documents to us at [email protected], or fax them at the same number.

Do I need to physically sign any documents and send them back to you?

All operations are managed online. There is no need for you to print and sign anything.
Just upload your documents for verification and we’ll keep you posted via email and in your online account.

What if I don’t have the necessary documents for activation?

Please contact us at 1-877-355-5239 and we’ll assist you with an alternative option.

I can’t find a bank statement that shows the account information without showing the balances. What do I do?

You can take a screenshot of the bank statement and crop the balances out, or you can take a photo of your bank statement and cover the balances with your hand or a piece of paper.

You may send a Canadian chequing or savings account bank statement, e-statement, or online banking personal profile section (screenshot). You may also send a void cheque.

My documents weren’t accepted, what can I do?

Please contact us at 1-877-355-5239 and ask for the application team and we’ll assist you.

Can I register a joint account with KnightsbridgeFX?

You can`t open a joint account. Instead, each person who wants to use our services can have an individual account. Please contact us at [email protected] for further assistance.

Am I compelled to use KnightsbridgeFX after I register?

No. There is no obligation to use Knightsbridge Foreign Exchange after you register. You can keep your account open until you need it.

I opened a new account but realized I already have one. What do I do?

I don’t have a cellphone number. What can I do?

How do I know that my account has been activated?

How do I change my account from personal to business or vice-versa?

You can email us at [email protected] with your request and our application team will guide you on the next step.

Can I get a summary of my transactions with you?

To get a transaction summary, you can access your Transactions page in your online account, or call us at 1-877-355-5239 or email us at [email protected] with your request.

How do I see my previous transactions?

You can easily access any of your past transactions booked online by accessing your account's Transactions page. You can also contact us at 1-877-355-5239 or at [email protected] to request a transaction summary.

Other clients also found it useful to check their inboxes for trading confirmations. These are emails that we send out whenever you make a trade, so you could potentially review past transactions based on these emails, assuming you didn’t delete them.

What if I forgot my account number?

You can always see your account number in your online account (next to your name). If you still require support, please contact us at 1-877-355-5239 and we’ll assist you.

I haven’t used my account in a very long time. Would it still be open?

Yes. Accounts remain opened indefinitely, so you can use it whenever you need to.

What makes KnightsbridgeFX different from banks?
Choices for exchanging currency

When it comes to banks, they have a lot of employees and a lot of brick-and-mortar spaces so they can’t focus on being efficient or keeping their costs under control. And this inefficiency means more expenses that they have to cover on a daily basis, using their clients’ money coming from fees and margins.
