We offer individual brokerage accounts for a variety of clients, including:

  • U.S. Persons: Individuals who are U.S. citizens or residents and meet the identification and documentation requirements. Applicants need to be at least 18 years old, have a valid Social Security number (not a Taxpayer Identification Number), and proof of U.S. residential address (such as a utility bill or bank statement).

  • Non-U.S. Persons: Individuals who reside outside the U.S. and meet applicable regulatory, tax, and documentation requirements. Applicants need to be at least 18 years old and must provide a copy of Government-issued photo identification in the initial onboarding.

Please note that additional information may be required during the account review process, such as a copy of photo ID, Proof of Address, or Tax ID proof.

As of June 12, 2025, to comply with the latest regulatory guidelines, we are currently upgrading account opening access for Mainland Chinese and Taiwanese users. During this period, these users will be temporarily unable to open TradeUP accounts.
