Stocks Account FAQs: A Complete Guide from Preparation to Approval
You can enable Stocks trading access in just three steps: log in to the MEXC App → go to the Stocks page → complete the verification required by MEXC's licensed brokerage partner. This guide walks you through each step and key reminders to help you quickly create your Stocks account.
1. What materials do I need before creating a Stocks account?
To make the account opening process smoother, we recommend preparing the following materials before you begin:
- Valid identity document: A passport, ID card, or other government-issued identity document used to complete Advanced KYC Verification. Complete KYC verification before opening a Stocks account.
- Proof of address: A utility bill, bank statement, or government-issued proof of residence issued within the past three months.
- Stable network connection: We recommend using Wi-Fi to avoid interruptions during document upload, which may affect the review progress.
Once your materials are ready, you can follow the steps below to create your Stocks account.

3. Open a Stocks Account
Before opening a Stocks account, you need to complete KYC verification.
Once verification is complete, go to the Stocks page and Select Account Mode based on your needs:
- RWA mode: No proof of address is required. You can usually open a Stocks account in about 1 minute.
- Proof of Address mode: Submit proof of address to open a Stocks account after your application is approved.
Note:
- RWA mode and Proof of Address mode offer the same product functionality and trading experience.
- Unless you have specific requirements, RWA mode is generally recommended for faster account opening.
- Overseas Chinese users are currently unable to use RWA mode and can open an account via Proof of Address mode instead.
When submitting your materials, please pay attention to the following points to avoid rejection due to details:
1. KYC verification: Make sure the uploaded document is clear and complete, with all four corners visible. During facial recognition, choose a well-lit environment and avoid covering your face.
2. Proof of address: The name and address shown on the document must exactly match your KYC information, otherwise the review cannot be approved.
4. How long does Stocks account review take?
RWA mode can usually be completed in about 1 minute, while Proof of Address mode typically takes up to 24 hours, depending on the clarity of the submitted documents and the current processing queue.
5. What should I do if my review is rejected?
If any verification step is rejected, the system will display the specific reason for failure. You only need to modify the information or provide additional materials according to the prompt, then resubmit it. This will not affect your account.
6. Is there a fee for opening a Stocks account?
Creating a Stocks account is free of charge. However, trading fees may apply when you place actual trades. During the launch period, MEXC offers a limited-time 0-fee event for Stocks trading, allowing users to trade Stocks without paying transaction fees during the campaign period. This significantly lowers the entry cost and makes it easier for more investors to experience the Stocks market.
