Account Currency Change Prerequisites
Verification Requirements for Malaysian Accounts
Before changing your account currency, complete the verification process. Malaysian clients must provide valid identification such as IC or passport and proof of residence not older than 90 days. Our KYC team typically processes verification within 24 hours. Without verification, currency change requests will be blocked. Malaysian bank statements are accepted as valid address documentation.
Trading Position Restrictions
All open positions and pending orders must be closed or canceled before initiating a currency change. FxPro’s system restricts account currency modification if active trades exist. Funds are temporarily held during the conversion process, so plan changes during market off-hours to avoid complications. This ensures accurate margin recalculations and prevents trade disruptions. Malaysian traders are advised to complete transactions before requesting a currency switch.
