Help CenterWhen you’re signing up for an AstroPips trading account, you get to choose between two main types of accounts: Individual and Corporate.
What’s the Difference?
Individual Account
- Meant for personal use.
- All trading, profits, and losses are tied directly to you as an individual.
- Verification requires your personal ID and details.
- Suitable for most traders who trade with their own money.
Corporate Account
- Designed for companies, partnerships, or organizations.
- The trading account is registered under the company’s name.
- Requires company documents like registration certificates, proof of directors/shareholders, and authorized signatory details.
- Useful for businesses that want to trade on behalf of the company.

- On the sign-up page, look for the Account Type dropdown or selection menu.
