With the rise of the Internet, from the earliest paper contract to online electronic contract account opening, what is the difference and convenience between online account opening and futures counter account opening?

1. Online account opening for futures is the general trend.

At present, there are two main ways for investors to conduct futures account. One is to open an account at the counter of a futures company, and the other is to open an account online for mobile futures (mobile phone account and computer account). At present, most investors basically choose mobile phone to open an account online, and the account opening process is electronic contract. Futures company account opening software is safe and formal. Because opening an account by mobile phone is the general trend, whether it is futures or stocks, online account opening can be said to be the most convenient and labor-saving way to open an account. It takes 10 minutes to open an account without leaving home.

Second, the efficiency of opening an account on site is low.

Some investors have no business outlets of futures companies in their areas, or are far away from futures companies, so it is not very convenient to open an account at the futures company site, so online account opening is the first choice; In addition, it takes more than ten minutes to open an account at the on-site counter and sign paper contract materials, and the account opening time is longer, which may be slower than online account opening 1-2 days.

The above is the difference between opening an account online and opening an account now, which is convenient at a glance.
