How do I set up the Global Trading account?

Julkaistu 25.11.2025Päivitetty 26.11.2025Lukuaika: 5 minuuttia

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.
