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

What You'll Need

Before you begin the verification process, make sure you have the following documents and details ready:

  • Business name and ABN/ACN

  • ASIC Company Extract (PDF format)

  • For each beneficial owner:

    • Valid photo ID (passport or driver’s licence)

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


Step 1: Create Your Account

  • Go to the Sign-Up page.

  • Enter your email address and password.

  • Click ‘Create Your Account’.


Step 2: Confirm Your Email

  • After creating your account, navigate to your Dashboard (your account homepage).

  • Confirm your email address by clicking the verification link sent to your email.


Step 3: Select Account Type

  • On your dashboard, select the account type you wish to create.

  • Choose ‘Business’ as your account type.

  • You will then be prompted to verify your mobile number.


Step 4: Enter Business Details

  • Enter your business name and ACN/ABN.

  • List the beneficial owners of the business.

    • Note: This information is available in your ASIC current company extract.

  • On the next screen, you'll need to enter the registered office address as listed in your company extract.


Step 5: Upload ASIC Company Extract

  • Upload your ASIC company extract as a PDF.

  • Tip: If you don’t have an ASIC extract, you can purchase one for $10 by searching for your ABN/ACN under 'Organisation and Business Names' on the ASIC website. The extract will be sent to your email as a PDF file.


Step 6: Add Beneficiary Details

For each beneficiary of the business, upload the following:

  1. Valid ID (passport or driver’s licence)

  2. Selfie with a Handwritten Note:

    • The note must include "Digital Surge" and today’s date.

  3. Current Residential Address

  • As you complete the required information for each beneficiary, a green tick will appear next to their name to indicate completion.

  • Once all beneficiaries have a green tick, click ‘Finish’.


Step 7: Submission Confirmation

  • You’ll see a confirmation message indicating that your application has been submitted.

  • Business account approval is typically completed within 24 hours.


What Happens Next?

  • You'll receive a confirmation email once your account is verified.

  • After verification, you can start trading, depositing, and withdrawing immediately.

  • All business accounts have access to account statements and full transaction history, which can be shared with your accountant or business administrator to ensure compliance and reporting accuracy.
