Used IMS Markets for a few weeks — login was smooth but initial verification took about a week. Deposits by bank transfer cleared slowly, platform is responsive, and support helped me track a withdrawal that was processed in three business days.

Account registration / opening
To open a live account with a regulated broker like IMS Markets, begin by visiting the official website linked above. Look for a clearly labelled button such as "Register", "Open Account" or "Create Account" — if you do not see a registration button, use the site menu or contact support using the number on this page. The typical registration process collects your name, email, phone and a password, then asks you to agree to terms and privacy statements.
After submitting basic details you will commonly be asked to provide identification and residency documents (for example an ID or passport and a recent proof of address) to complete Know Your Customer (KYC) checks. Expect to confirm your email address via a verification link and to verify your phone number if SMS verification is used. Follow any on‑screen instructions and upload clear scans or photos of documents as requested.
- Open the official website and choose the registration option.
- Provide name, email, phone and create a strong password.
- Confirm your email address via the verification link.
- Complete KYC by uploading ID and proof of address if requested.
- Wait for account verification before funding or trading.
How to log in
To sign in on the web, open the broker's official site and click the Login or Sign In button. Enter the email/username and password you registered with, then submit. If the broker uses a trading platform login separate from the client portal, use the credentials provided for that platform after account approval.
For mobile access, download the official mobile app or use the mobile web browser and navigate to the same Login page. Enter your registered credentials and, if required, confirm any additional security prompts such as SMS codes or app‑based authentication. If you plan to use a third‑party trading application, follow the provider's setup instructions and ensure you use the correct server credentials supplied by the broker.
- Web: Visit the official site → Login → enter email/username and password → submit.
- Mobile: Use the official app or mobile site → Login → enter credentials → approve any second‑factor request.
Forgot password / account recovery
If you forget your password, use the standard password recovery flow on the broker's login page — typically a "Forgot password" link. That link usually asks for your registered email and sends a reset link or temporary code. Follow the emailed instructions and choose a new, strong password. If you do not receive an email, check spam folders and confirm you used the same email you registered with.
If self‑service recovery is not available or fails (for example the account email is inaccessible), contact the broker's support team directly. Be prepared to verify your identity with personal details and copies of ID or other documents as required to regain access. For account recovery that involves changes to your registered contact information, brokers commonly require additional verification steps to protect account security.
Two‑factor authentication & login security
Two‑factor authentication (2FA) greatly improves account security. If the broker offers 2FA, enable it from your account settings after logging in. Common 2FA methods include an authenticator app (TOTP), SMS codes or email confirmations. Use an authenticator app when available because it is generally more secure than SMS.
Adopt safe‑login habits: use a unique, strong password; enable 2FA; do not reuse passwords across sites; periodically review active sessions and revoke access from unknown devices. Always access the broker through the official domain and consider bookmarking the site to avoid mistyping the URL.
To recognise the official domain and avoid phishing, check that the site URL exactly matches the official address (shown above) and that the connection is secured (HTTPS with a padlock icon). Be suspicious of unsolicited emails asking you to reset your password or providing login links — instead navigate manually to the official website. If an email claims to be from the broker and asks for credentials, do not reply and verify by contacting support using the phone number or contact channels published on the official site.
Common login problems & troubleshooting
Wrong credentials: If your username or password is rejected, first ensure Caps Lock is off and there are no accidental spaces. Use the password reset flow if you cannot recall the credentials. If you still cannot access the account after resetting, contact support.
Locked account: Multiple failed login attempts can temporarily lock access. Wait the specified lockout period or request an account unlock via support. Prepare to verify your identity when requesting unlocks.
Verification pending: Many brokers restrict trading or funding until identity/AML checks are complete. If your account shows "verification pending" or similar, upload the requested documents clearly and follow any instructions in your account dashboard. Processing times vary; contact support for status updates.
Region / access issues: If you see messages about geographic restrictions or cannot access the site from your location, this may be due to regulatory or internal acceptance policies. Do not attempt to bypass regional restrictions with VPNs; instead contact support to confirm whether accounts from your jurisdiction are accepted.
- If email resets do not arrive, check spam/junk folders and ensure you used the registered email.
- If your account is locked, allow the cooldown or contact support for manual unlock and identity verification.
- If verification is pending, upload requested documents and monitor the verification status in your account area.
Getting login/account support
For account and login support, use the official support channels listed on the broker website. The broker's published contact phone number is +35725057221 — callers should be prepared to provide account identifiers and to verify identity. For written records, use the site contact form or official support email addresses available on the website.
When contacting support about login issues, include relevant details such as the registered email, approximate time of the issue, and screenshots of any error messages (without sharing passwords). If you suspect a phishing attempt or fraudulent communication, report it to the broker and avoid following any links or sharing credentials until the message is verified.

IMS Markets Review
Desktop platform from IMS Markets is stable and charting is good, but the mobile app feels clunky. Card deposits were instant, verification was quick, though support responses were sometimes slow during US hours.
Account setup and access were straightforward and two-factor auth worked well. Verification required multiple documents but was accepted; withdrawals took a few extra days and the fee schedule wasn't clearly explained in the portal.
Web interface is intuitive and order execution felt smooth, though I experienced occasional login timeouts. E-wallet deposits were fast and my withdrawal eventually completed after a short follow-up with support, who were friendly and helpful.
