Open your account
A few details to start, then an analyst takes it from there. No payment is taken at this step.
What happens next
You submit the form
It takes about a minute and costs nothing.
An analyst calls you
They confirm your details, answer questions and explain what comes next. No pressure to deposit.
You verify and pick an amount
Only then does any money move, and only the amount you choose.
Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of some or all of the capital you invest. The value of investments can go down as well as up, and you may get back less than you originally put in. Do not invest money you cannot afford to lose.
What you need to sign up
- An email address you check regularly.
- A phone number, so an analyst can reach you.
- An identity document, for the verification step later.
What happens after cognovaiq Video receives your form
The verification call
An analyst calls to confirm the details you submitted, answer questions and agree what a sensible starting amount looks like for you. The call is a conversation, not a script, an account opened on unrealistic expectations helps nobody.
How long it takes
Usually one call of ten to fifteen minutes. If you would rather be called at a specific time, mention it in the form and that time is respected.
Identity checks explained
Before the first deposit you will be asked for a photo ID and a recent document showing your address. This is the same requirement any regulated broker in South Africa applies, and it exists so a withdrawal can only ever return to you.
What is accepted
A passport or national ID card, plus a utility bill or bank statement issued within the last three months. A clear photo taken on a phone is fine.
