Opening an account with Finq is easy – as expected. What we liked particularly was the fact that the platform access is immediately available. What was a bit less obvious was how to use the demo account.
Finq Demo Account
We found out we can get a demo account when first signing up since a popup offers access to a $10000 virtual money demo after the initial setting have been selected. They include name, email and the account currency. The account currencies offered with Finq are USD, RUB and ZAR. After this is done, there are several steps further to get into the demo. At least this is how the wizard in the platform works, however, if you close the wizard, we are pretty sure you will be able to launch the demo account without finishing any further steps. All that is needed is to press the tiny text “Demo account” in the bottom left of the platform where the balance is.
Finq Live Account
If you continue with the process in the wizard, you are on your way to open a live account, which is probably good since it does not cost anything and later when you decide to leave the demo for real trading, everything is ready, only deposit is left. In any case the process is fairly standard – fill in the rest of your info and answer several questions about your trading history and knowledge in order for the broker to assess if CFDs trading is something you should be doint, considering your understanding of the basic trading terms and the leveraged trading. Questions include: “What it means if its bull market”, or what can happen to your profits and losses if you are using leverage to trade… After that, you will be asked to deposit and take a bonus. More about Finq bonuses below the account summary.

Finq Bonus
We already mentioned that Finq offers bonuses when opening a new live account. These will be presented for each predefined amount deposited. Naturally you need to opt in to receiving the bonus in case you want one. In case not, just select “Deposit your own amount without bonus” which will take you directly to the screen. Bonus policy does not prevent customers from withdrawing the money, but the in case of loss or profit on the account, the amount that is taken away with the bonus is calculated by using the ratio of deposit to bonus. So if you deposited $4000 and got $1000 bonus, the ratio is 80:20. If you had additional $1000 profit from trading with the bonus, you will be able to receive $800 of your profits.
We think this is fair, in contrast to policies that often made all losses as part of customer’s money and all profits as part of the bonus, which was mostly case with binary options brokers – which is why they aren’t allowed to offer bonuses anymore. In any case before accepting the bonus understand the terms and conditions that require that a volume of $10000 is to be generated for every 1$ of bonus received, before being able to withdraw the bonus. Timeframe for this is 90 days. Please read the bonus policy on broker’s website with care before agreeing to a bonus.
