How do I set up the Global Trading account?

Published on Nov 25, 2025Updated on Nov 27, 20255 min read

To give Brazilian users more trading flexibility, we now offer the option to open a Global Trading account. This account can be accessed with the same login credentials you already use — meaning you’ll have one login and two accounts:

  • Your Brazil (BR) account

  • Your Global Trading account (under OKX El Salvador)

Do I need to open a Global Trading account?

No, opening a Global Trading account is optional. It's designed for users who want access to products that are not available in the Brazilian jurisdiction, such as:

  • Advanced trading products

  • Certain global features and products

If you only use products already available in Brazil, you can continue trading with your BR account as usual.

Can I change my Country of Residence (COR) after opening a Global Trading account?

Yes, but with an important condition:

  • If you want to update your COR from Brazil to another supported location, you must first close your Global Trading account.

  • Once the Global Trading account is closed, you’ll be able to update your COR as usual.
