Before you can buy or sell safely with escrow, you need a free xrowdeal account. The signup takes about two minutes and only asks for the basics: your name, a username, an email you can access, and a password. This guide walks through every field so there are no surprises, and shows you what to do straight after to get verified and ready to trade.

What you need before you start

• A working email address. You'll receive a verification code there, so use one you can open right now.
• A username. This is how counterparties and support identify you on a deal.
• A strong password. Use something unique to xrowdeal — your account can hold and move real funds.
• A referral or partner link (optional). If a friend or community invited you, opening their link first makes sure they get credited.

Step-by-step: create your account

• 1. Open the signup page. Go to xrowdeal.com/signup. If you arrived through a referral code or partner link, it is applied automatically.
• 2. Enter your details. Type your full name, choose a username, and enter your email address.
• 3. Verify your email. Click to send the verification code, check your inbox, and enter the 6-digit code. This confirms the email is really yours. If it doesn't arrive in a minute, check spam or request a new one.
• 4. Set your password and accept the terms. Choose a strong password and tick the box to agree to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
• 5. Create the account. Submit the form. Your account is created and you're taken into your dashboard.

What to do right after signing up

Your login works immediately, but a few quick steps unlock the full platform and make you look trustworthy to the people you trade with:

• Complete your profile. Open Edit profile and add your full name, phone number, and address (line, city, country). A complete profile is required before identity verification.
• Verify your phone number. A verified phone adds a layer of account security and builds buyer/seller trust.
• Complete KYC verification. Submitting your ID gets you a verified badge that counterparties can see. See our step-by-step KYC guide.

Why each detail is asked for

xrowdeal holds real money in escrow, so a small amount of identity information protects everyone. Your email lets us send deal alerts and recover your account; your username is what the other party sees; and verification (phone and KYC) helps stop scammers from hiding behind throwaway accounts. None of this is shared publicly beyond what's needed to complete a deal safely. Read more on our security page.

Common signup problems and fixes

• "This email is already registered." You may already have an account — try logging in, or use password reset.
• Verification code didn't arrive. Check your spam folder, make sure the email is spelled correctly, and request a fresh code.
• "Too many verification emails sent." There's an hourly limit to prevent abuse. Wait a little and try again.

Frequently asked questions

Is creating an xrowdeal account free?

Yes. Creating an account is completely free. You only pay an escrow service fee when a deal is created and completed — there's no charge for signing up or having an account.

Do I have to verify my email to sign up?

Yes. We send a 6-digit code to your email and you enter it during signup. This confirms you own the address and keeps the platform free of fake accounts.

Do I need to complete KYC before I can use my account?

You can log in and explore right away. Completing your profile, verifying your phone, and finishing KYC build trust and unlock the full deal experience, and may be required for certain deals.

Can I sign up using a referral or partner link?

Yes. Open the referral or partner link first, then sign up. The referral code or partner is applied automatically so your inviter is credited when you complete deals.

I forgot my password right after signing up — what now?

Use the forgot password link on the login page to reset it by email. After several failed login attempts your account is briefly locked for security; if that happens, see our guide on a temporarily locked account.
