What people ask before opening an account, and the answers we would give over the phone.
Common questions about accounts and verification
How much money do I need to start investing with Sharestead AI?
You can open and fund an account from €220 minimum. You're free to add more to your balance as your investing timeline moves forward.
Is Sharestead AI safe to use in Ireland?
Sharestead AI is regulated by the CBI and meets Irish financial standards. Your account is held in a segregated account, kept separate from company funds, with two-factor authentication and identity verification as standard safeguards.
How long does it take to withdraw my profits?
Request a withdrawal from your dashboard at any time. Funds return to your chosen payment method within standard banking timeframes - typically one to three business days depending on your bank.
What documents do I need to verify my account?
You'll need to verify your identity with a valid ID (passport or driving licence) and proof of address. The verification process takes a few minutes and is done once when you open your account.
Are there hidden charges on deposits or withdrawals?
No. All fees and costs are shown clearly before you commit. You'll see exactly what applies to your plan - no surprise charges appear later.
How does an AI trading signal work?
Our AI platform analyses market data and volatility across asset classes like stocks, commodities and crypto to spot potential opportunities. When a signal meets your risk profile, your analyst reviews it and presents it to you for approval before any trade happens.
What happens to my money if markets crash?
Your analyst helps you diversify across different classes and manage your risk profile to reduce exposure in downturns. Provided for general information, not individual advice; past results do not guarantee future performance.
Can I close my account and withdraw everything?
Yes, anytime. Request a full withdrawal from your dashboard and all remaining funds go back to you minus any live positions. There's no lock-in period.
Does having a personal analyst really help my portfolio?
Your dedicated analyst combines professional market analysis with knowledge of your goals and risk level. They manage trades, explain each decision, and adjust your strategy as conditions change - so you're not making blind trades or second-guessing moves.
Is my money kept separate from Sharestead AI?
Yes. Your funds sit in a segregated account at our partner bank, completely separate from company operating funds. This protects your capital even if the platform faces difficulties.
What is the minimum age to invest?
You must be at least 18 years old to open an account. We'll verify your age as part of the standard identity checks when you register.
What payment methods can I use to deposit?
We accept major debit and credit cards, bank transfers, and selected e-wallets and crypto options. The full list appears at the deposit stage so you can choose what suits you.
How do I log in to my Sharestead AI account?
Use your email and password on the login page. Two-factor authentication via SMS or authenticator app adds an extra security layer. If you forget your password, use the 'Forgot Password' link to reset it.
Is this a scam? How do I know Sharestead AI is legitimate?
Sharestead AI holds a licence from the Central Bank of Ireland and complies with Irish financial regulations and anti-money-laundering rules. Your funds are in a segregated account, identity verification is mandatory, and all operations are audited. Like any investment, results are not guaranteed and markets carry real risk - but the platform itself is legitimate and regulated.
Account, verification and security
What documents do I need to verify my account?
A photo ID, such as a passport or national ID card, and a recent utility bill or bank statement for proof of address. A clear phone photo of each is accepted.
Can I close my account and withdraw everything?
Yes. Withdraw your balance and tell support you want to close the account. There is no cancellation fee and no waiting period.
How do I log in to Sharestead AI if I forget my password?
Use the forgotten password link on the sign-in page to reset it by email, or contact support and a specialist will verify your identity and restore access.
Is my money kept separate from the company?
Yes. Client deposits sit in a segregated account with regulated payment partners, apart from company funds, so they are never used to run the business.
Deposits, withdrawals and minimum amounts
How much money do I need to start investing with Sharestead AI?
The minimum first deposit is €220. It is kept deliberately low so you can start small, see how the platform handles your money, and add more once you are comfortable.
How quickly can I withdraw my profits?
Requests are processed on business days and return to the method you deposited with. Cards and e-wallets usually settle within three to five working days, bank transfers can take a little longer.
Are there hidden charges on deposits or withdrawals?
No. Every commission or spread is shown before you confirm an action. There is no account maintenance fee and no charge for leaving a balance in place.
What happens to my money if markets crash?
Your positions move with the market and a sharp downturn can reduce your portfolio value, that is normal volatility, not a platform failure. Diversifying across asset classes and setting a realistic risk profile with your analyst helps manage that exposure, though it cannot remove it.
