from Exness
by Exness Blog
If you're trading on Exness and wondering how to change your account's base currency, here's the short answer: You cannot change the currency of an existing Exness account once it's created. The only way to use a different currency is to create a new trading account with the currency you want. In this guide, you’ll learn exactly how to do that, and why base currency matters in the first place.

Why You Can’t Change Currency on an Existing Exness Account
The base currency you select when creating your Exness trading account is locked in permanently. This is because:
· All trading calculations (deposits, withdrawals, profits, losses, swap, commissions) are based on this currency.
· Changing the currency would interfere with your account history and balance.
· For compliance and security reasons, Exness does not allow altering this core parameter.
So, instead of changing the currency, the correct approach is to open a new trading account under your existing Exness profile.
How to Create a New Account with a Different Currency
Here’s exactly what to do if you want to trade using another currency:
1. Log into your Exness Personal Area
o Visit exness.com and sign in using your email and password.
o If you haven’t created an account yet, complete the registration first.
2. Click “Open New Account”
o In the “My Accounts” section, select “Open New Account.”
o You’ll be given the choice of account types (Standard, Pro, Raw Spread, etc.)
3. Choose the Account Type and Base Currency
o Pick the trading account type that suits your strategy.
o Carefully select your new base currency (e.g., USD, EUR, THB, VND).
o This is where you switch to the new currency you want to use.
4. Set Leverage and Nickname
o Customize your leverage (e.g., 1:1000).
o Give the account a nickname to keep things organized.
5. Click “Create Account”
o Your new account is now active with the selected currency.
o You can fund it and begin trading right away.

Important Notes About Changing Currency
Before you make the switch, keep the following in mind:
· Withdraw funds from your old account first:
If your current account holds funds, withdraw or transfer them to your wallet before abandoning it.
· Currency mismatch fees:
Depositing in a currency that’s different from your account currency may result in conversion fees from your payment provider.
· Use the Exness Wallet wisely:
The Exness Wallet supports multiple currencies. Use it to fund and move money between accounts in different currencies.
What to Do with Your Old Account
You don’t need to delete your previous account. You can simply stop using it. However:
· You can transfer funds between accounts (in the same currency) instantly without fees.
· If the old account has no funds and no open trades, it will be archived automatically after a period of inactivity.
· You can also choose to manually archive it in your dashboard.
Best Practices When Choosing a Base Currency
Selecting the right currency from the start saves time and avoids confusion. Here’s how to pick the best one:
· Match your deposit currency: If you deposit in USD, use a USD account to avoid conversion losses.
· Consider local options: For example, traders in Thailand might prefer THB, Vietnamese traders might go with VND.
· Think about withdrawal methods: Choose a currency supported by your local bank or e-wallet to avoid delays and costs.
Can You Have Multiple Currency Accounts?
Yes, Exness allows you to have multiple trading accounts with different currencies under one main profile. You can:
· Open up to 100 active accounts (depending on the account type).
· Assign a unique currency to each new account.
· Easily switch between them via the dashboard.
This flexibility is useful if you trade on different strategies or with different brokers or want to separate business and personal trading.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
