What's the Global Trading account for Brazilian users?
Our Brazilian users now have the option to open a Global Trading account, an offshore account based in El Salvador, while keeping the same OKX login (1 login – 2 accounts). This dual account setup gives users more flexibility: your regular Brazil account is still available, but the Global Trading account allows you to trade and access advanced trading products that aren’t offered in Brazil.
It’s important to note that this account is optional, not mandatory. You can continue using your Brazil account as usual if you prefer. However, if you want to access additional trading features, the Global Trading account provides that opportunity without requiring a separate login.
Do I need to open a Global Trading account?
No. This is optional, not a requirement.
You can continue using your Brazilian account as usual. The Global Trading Account is available only if you want access to advanced trading products not offered in Brazil.
Who can open a Global Trading Account?
To be eligible, you must first have a verified Brazil (BR) account. Once verified, all users — both individuals and institutions — can request to open a Global Trading Account. Learn more on how you can do it here.
How do I switch between accounts?
You can easily switch between your Brazil account and your Global Trading Account from the Menu > User Center on the app while on the web, select the Profile (human icon) > Profile from the dropdown menu. Just select the account you want to use, and the system will switch your trading view accordingly.

How do I transfer funds between accounts?
You can move crypto from your Brazil account to your Global Trading Account and vice versa.
All crypto transfers are supported.
We recommend using the Easy Transfer feature, as it's the fastest and most reliable method for transferring between accounts. This feature is available in both directions — from the Brazil account to the Global Trading Account and vice versa.
Example of the Easy transfer from the Brazil account view
Please note that BRL (Brazilian Real) is only available under your Brazil account and can't be transferred to the Global Trading Account.
Are the two accounts linked?
Your Brazil account and your Global Trading Account are completely independent including in terms of:
Transaction history
Wallet balances
Available products and features
Terms and conditions
This means activities in one account don't affect the other.
What happens if I change my country of residence (COR)?
Since the dual account structure (1 login – 2 accounts) is available only in Brazil, you’ll need to close your Global Trading account first if you want to update your country of residence (COR) from Brazil to another location.
