How do I open an account on Mercury Iconex?


Opening an account on Mercury Iconex is simple and can be done entirely online. A personal Mercury Iconex account gives you access to our trading platform, where you can receive, store, buy, sell, send, and exchange supported digital assets.


Follow the steps below to create your account and ensure it is set up securely.


Step 1: Visit the official Mercury Iconex website


Go to the official Mercury Iconex company website at:


https://mercuryiconex.org/


Our website provides further information about our services, products, and business operations.


You can access the website directly by entering the domain name into the address bar of your internet browser.


Pay attention to your online safety: Always verify that you are on the official Mercury Iconex website before entering any personal information. Check the domain name carefully and look for the security symbol in your browser's address bar. While this indicates that the connection is secure, it does not, by itself, guarantee that a website is legitimate.


Step 2: Open your personal account


Once you are on the official website, you can begin the registration process.


  1. Click on Open account to navigate to the registration page.
  2. Enter your email address.
  3. Create a strong password and keep it in a secure place.
  4. If applicable, enter your reference or referral code. If you have not received a code, you may leave this field blank.
  5. Read the terms and conditions and the privacy policy carefully.
  6. Agree to the terms and conditions and the privacy policy.
  7. Click on Register to complete your registration. || Your registration is now being processed. To access your account, you must first verify your email address. As an additional security measure, we carefully review every account registration manually. Once everything is in order, your account will be activated by the Mercury Iconex team.


Step 3: Verify your email address


Following your registration, you will receive an email from Mercury Iconex containing instructions on how to verify your email address.


  1. Open the inbox for the email address you used to register.
  2. Look for the verification email from Mercury Iconex.
  3. Follow the instructions provided in the email by clicking the verification link or, if prompted, by entering the verification code.


Once successfully verified, your email address will be confirmed, and our team will activate your account for the next steps.

Once your email address has been verified and your account has been activated by our team, you may log in.

Feel free to take your time to familiarize yourself with the various components and features of the platform.


Security tip: Always log out after you have finished your activities when using a shared or public computer.


Step 5: Activate Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)


We recommend setting up Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) immediately after your first login.


2FA adds an extra layer of security to your account. In addition to your email address and password, you will need an extra verification code to confirm certain account activities.


You can use an authenticator app, such as Google Authenticator, for this purpose.


Please refer to our guide for a step-by-step explanation:


Setting up 2FA for enhanced security


Keep any recovery codes in a safe place, and never share your verification codes with anyone else.


Step 6: Complete your identity verification (KYC)


To ensure the safety and integrity of the trading platform, Mercury Iconex employs a "Know Your Customer" (KYC) process.


This identity check helps financial institutions and service providers identify their customers and prevent the misuse of financial services.


Identity verification at Mercury Iconex is handled by our third-party verification partner, iDenfy.


Follow the steps below:


  1. Initiate the KYC verification process from your Mercury Iconex account under Settings.
  2. Follow the on-screen instructions.
  3. Have a valid, government-issued identity document ready—such as a passport, driver’s license, national ID card, CBB extract, or bank statement.
  4. If prompted, take a selfie or complete an additional facial verification check. 5. Provide any additional documents if requested.
  5. Submit your details and await the review process.


Once submitted, your information will be reviewed. Processing times can range from a few minutes to several business days, depending on the verification requirements and any additional checks that may be necessary.


Important: Ensure that your identification document is clearly legible, that your details match the information you have provided, and that you follow the verification instructions precisely. This helps to avoid unnecessary delays.


Step 7: Deposit funds or receive digital assets


Once the required verifications are complete, you can fund your Mercury Iconex account.


You can do this in several ways:


  • Deposit fiat currency: You can use the available deposit options provided through our designated local payment providers.
  • Receive cryptocurrency: You can send supported digital assets to your Mercury Iconex account from an external wallet or another exchange.
  • Mercury Iconex Crypto-ATM: You can deposit cash using one of our crypto-ATMs. The ATM will automatically process your purchase and send the acquired cryptocurrency to the specified wallet address. For more information about the available deposit methods and the corresponding instructions, please refer to our dedicated guides:



Please note: When receiving cryptocurrency, always ensure that you are using the correct wallet address and the correct blockchain network. An incorrect transaction may result in the permanent loss of your digital assets.


Step 8: Start trading and executing transactions


Once your account is set up and you have an available balance, you can begin using the various features of Mercury Iconex.


Depending on the available functionality, you can:


  • Buy and sell digital assets via Spot Trading.
  • Easily swap digital assets via Swap.
  • Receive cryptocurrency from external wallets or other exchanges.
  • Send cryptocurrency to other supported wallet addresses.
  • View your available balances and transaction history.
  • Apply for, activate, and top up a VISA or Mastercard for payments.


To trade or swap digital assets, navigate to Trade. From there, you can choose between Spot Trading and Swap, depending on your preference.


Please refer to the relevant guides in our Online Academy for explanations of these individual features.


Step 9: Protect your account and digital assets


The security of your account begins with the careful handling of your login credentials and your use of the trading platform. Always observe the following precautions:


  • Never share your password, 2FA codes, or recovery codes with anyone.
  • Use a strong, unique password for your Mercury Iconex account.
  • Keep Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) enabled.
  • Always verify the domain name before logging in or entering any personal information.
  • Do not click on suspicious links or messages that claim to be from Mercury Iconex.
  • Carefully check wallet addresses and blockchain networks before sending any cryptocurrency.
  • Never grant third parties access to your account to execute transactions on your behalf.


Be alert to phishing, fraudulent websites, and individuals posing as Mercury Iconex staff.


Congratulations! Your Mercury Iconex account is ready for use.
