Verification links expire within 24 hours. If you miss the window, click “Resend” on the verification page.
Step 3: Choosing your account type
Company vs Individual
Choose “Company” if:- Funds belong to a legal entity (SAS, SARL, holding company, family office structure).
- You’re investing on behalf of a corporate entity.
- The bank account sending funds is in a company name.
- You’re investing personal funds.
- The bank account is in your personal name.
For family offices: Most family offices should select Company, even if the structure is a holding company with no commercial activity.
Step 4: Setting up security
Account security options
We recommend “Create a new account” (default option) for maximum security:- Create a new account: Everything’s handled for you, just sign up and start earning.
- Use an existing account: For advanced users only.
Passkey authentication
After selecting “Create a secure account,” you’ll set up a passkey:- Your browser will prompt you to create a passkey.
- This creates a unique digital fingerprint on your device.
- You’ll use this to authenticate important actions (deposits, withdrawals, etc.).
Passkeys are more secure than passwords and work with Face ID, Touch ID, or device PIN.
