How to Open Your Account

Open your Eona account in minutes and start investing in real, allocated precious metals — no paperwork, no middlemen, no delays. Your path to secure ownership begins with a few simple steps.

Why We Made This Simple

Opening a precious metals account used to be a multi-day process involving paperwork, phone calls, and intermediaries. Eona changes that. We’ve built a secure, modern system that lets you open and verify your account digitally — so you can take ownership of real gold and silver in minutes, not days.

Step 1: Start with Your Email

Go to eona.ae and click Sign-In. You’ll be asked to enter your email and create a password. From the outset, your data is encrypted and protected by bank-grade infrastructure.

Once you confirm your email address, you’ll have access to your private dashboard — but full functionality (like buying or selling metals) requires completing verification.

Step 2: Identity Verification (KYC)

To comply with international financial regulations and to protect you, Eona requires Know Your Customer (KYC) verification. This step typically takes just a few minutes.

You'll need:

  • A valid government-issued ID (passport or national ID card)
  • A selfie (to match your ID)
  • A proof of address (e.g., utility bill or bank statement dated within the last 3 months)

We partner with globally recognized identity verification providers. The entire process is automated and secure — in most cases, your account will be verified in under 10 minutes.

Step 3: Secure Your Account

You’ll be prompted to set up two-factor authentication (2FA) for an added layer of security. This step is optional — but strongly recommended. Eona supports app-based 2FA (e.g., Google Authenticator, Authy) for robust protection.

Step 4: Fund Your Account

Once verified, you can fund your account via:

  • Bank transfer (SEPA, SWIFT)
  • Card payment (Visa/Mastercard)
  • Local payment methods in select regions (e.g., Faster Payments in the UK)

Funds appear in your account as soon as they clear, which varies depending on the method used. From there, you can start purchasing metals directly at live spot prices.

Step 5: Make Your First Purchase

With your account funded, you’re ready to choose the metal, quantity, and vault location. You’ll see real-time pricing, available bar sizes, and a full fee breakdown — no surprises.

Once you confirm your order, your metals are immediately allocated in your name and stored in the vault location you selected. You can view your holdings instantly on your dashboard.
