Sign up and eligibility

Who can open a Stoa Account?

To open a Stoa Account, we require that:

• You have an existing, UK registered bank account.

• You are a UK resident (and therefore have a UK postal address).

• Your Nationality is in our List of Supported Countries for Nationality.

• You are above the age of 18.

What you need to sign up (documents)

You will need a valid Photo ID, such as a Passport or Drivers License. You will be asked to take a selfie and a photo of your ID as part of the onboarding process, so please make sure you are in a comfortable, well-lit environment.

If your identity cannot be verified automatically, it may fall into a manual review process. We might reach out requesting a copy (e.g., electronic copy) of other documents such as a Proof of Address (POA).

What's the minimum amount of money I need to get started?

The minimum amount of money to open a Stoa Pot fluctuates over time. As of launch, the minimum entry deposit starts from around £1,000.
