Setting up your business account on Digital Surge is a simple process designed to get you trading fast.

What You Will Need

Before beginning verification, have the following ready:

  • Business name and ABN or ACN

  • ASIC Company Extract in PDF format

  • For each beneficial owner:

    • Valid photo ID such as a passport or driver’s licence

    • Selfie holding a handwritten note that says Digital Surge and today’s date

You will then be prompted to verify your mobile number.


Step 4: Enter Business Details

This information is available in your ASIC Company Extract.
On the next screen, enter the registered office address exactly as listed in your extract.


Step 5: Upload ASIC Company Extract

Business account approvals are usually completed within 24 hours.
