Are there age restrictions for opening a forex account with a broker?

Yes, nearly all brokers require minimum age of 18, some 21, to comply with gambling‑style financial regulations. Underage accounts get closed with funds returned minus fees. KYC documents prove age during verification. Parents cannot trade through minors legally. Corporate accounts check director ages too. No upper age limit exists. Age gates prevent minors from high‑risk speculation. Always use your real birthdate—falsifying triggers permanent bans. Check broker terms, as jurisdictions vary slightly but 18 remains standard globally.
