Step 1: Tap on the Investments section from the home screen.
Step 2: Select the stock of your choice from the Stocks categories.
Step 3: Tap on the Invest button at the bottom of the page.
Step 4: You will be asked to confirm your address, your date of birth, and your Tax Identifier/NINO. Make sure to enter all the details correctly; otherwise, your Stocks account could face technical issues.
Step 5: Select your nationality from the list provided. If your nationality is not in the list, it means that you are not able to create a Stocks account at the moment for regulatory reasons. If you have multiple nationalities, make sure to enter all of them during this step.
Step 6: Select the country in which you pay taxes.
Step 7: You need to declare that you are not a US citizen/resident and that you don’t have any US nationality. Make sure to enter the real information as it can lead to tax implications.

Step 9: Accept the Terms and Conditions.
Once you have successfully completed all the above steps, your Stocks account should be open and ready to use.
