How to Open a Moomoo Account
Key Takeaways:
• You can open a moomoo brokerage account using the company’s website or mobile app.
• Moomoo provides accounts in multiple countries.
• To open a U.S. account, you must have a Social Security Number and a U.S. address.
Moomoo continues to grow in popularity. To get started with this brokerage, follow the steps below:
Requirements to Open U.S. Moomoo Accounts
Moomoo supports customers in several countries. For U.S. tax residents, opening a U.S. account requires:
- A valid U.S. street address (PO Boxes are not accepted)
- Social Security Number
- At least 18 years old
People living in other supported countries may also open moomoo accounts. In those cases, local tax residents can use their domestic tax ID numbers and local addresses, which may differ from U.S. requirements.
How to Open a Moomoo Brokerage Account
To apply for a U.S. account, go to
moomoo’s U.S. website and click the orange sign-up button near the top of the page. Begin with your email address or phone number. You will need both later, so keep your phone available for verification texts.
During the application, you must confirm your citizenship (many nationalities are supported) and enter a U.S. address. Your Social Security Number is also required. Later in the process, you can choose between a cash account or a margin account.
If you want to add the other account type later, open the Accounts tab in the app, tap the All icon, and scroll down to find the option to add another account.
You can also start the signup directly in the mobile app by tapping the registration button on the home screen after installing the app.
Moomoo does not provide managed portfolios, joint accounts, retirement accounts, custodial accounts, or other special registrations in the U.S. For American residents, only an individual taxable brokerage account is offered.

How to Open a Moomoo Crypto Account
After your brokerage account is active, you can also set up a crypto account. Log into the mobile app (this feature is not available on the website) and tap the Markets icon in the bottom menu.
On the Markets screen, select the Crypto tab at the top. Then tap the button to open a crypto account and follow the on-screen steps. Funds for crypto trading must come from your brokerage account, which is why the two accounts are linked.
How to Open a Non-American Moomoo Account
Moomoo operates in several countries outside the U.S. Residents in the following locations can apply through their local moomoo branches:
- Malaysia
- Japan
- Canada
- Hong Kong (Futubull)
- Australia
- Singapore
Applicants should follow the same basic signup steps as U.S. users, but use the country-specific website (for example, www.moomoo.com/au for Australia).
Some regions provide additional account options. For instance, moomoo Canada supports TFSA and RRSP accounts, which can be opened through the same application process.
How to Open a Moomoo Wealth Management Account
Wealth Management accounts are available through moomoo’s parent company, Futu, for clients in Hong Kong
and Singapore. To apply, you must meet with a financial advisor. In Hong Kong, appointments can be arranged through
Futu’s Private Wealth Management page.
Fees and Minimums
Moomoo brokerage accounts do not have maintenance fees. U.S. accounts pay no commissions on U.S.-listed stocks, ETFs, and equity options. Overseas accounts generally have commissions, and U.S. clients may pay commissions when trading certain Chinese stocks.
Wealth Management accounts require high minimum balances: S$1 million in Singapore and HK$5 million in Hong Kong.
