To open an account with RICO, users must complete several steps. Initially, personal information, such as name, address, and contact details, needs to be submitted. Following this, employment and financial information are required to assess the user’s trading experience and financial background. Identity verification is crucial; users must provide a valid ID and proof of address to confirm their identity. Once the account is set up, there is flexibility to upgrade to a professional account later if the user’s trading volume meets the necessary qualifications.

Inactivity fees are charged if an account remains dormant for an extended period. Additionally, platform usage fees may apply for certain trading platforms. Traders should also consider overnight interest (swap rates) for positions held overnight and potential currency conversion fees when trading different currency pairs.
