Individual investors can open an account through the business office on-site or self-service. You need to prepare your own second-generation ID card and the same name bank savings card (some banks support passbook).
If you need to go to the counter, you need to go directly to the business branch from 9 to 16 o'clock on trading days.
If you need to self-service account, you can download the account opening APP through the broker's website or cell phone application mall, such as GF Securities for "GF Securities account" or "GF ETaojin", self-service to complete the account opening procedures.
The general process includes uploading an ID photo, risk assessment, password setting, bank card binding, video authentication (two-way/one-way, GF Securities is a one-way video, no need to queue), agreement signing and so on.
GF Securities supports 7*24 hours, 3-minute fast account opening, one-way video without queuing, Shanghai and Shenzhen A-share/fund accounts in one step. The company also has a professional licensed investment advisor who is available 24/7 to guide you through the process and answer your investment questions in seconds.
