This beginner’s guide replaces our older “activate your M+ Online account” post. Since M+ Online has been retired, new and existing Malacca Securities clients use the M+ Global app for Bursa Malaysia, US and Hong Kong stocks.
1. Log in and secure your account
Download M+ Global from the Google Play Store, Apple App Store or Huawei AppGallery and log in with the details you registered with. Turn on multi-factor authentication when prompted. Never share your password or one-time codes with anyone, including people claiming to be from M+ on social media. See how to spot fake M+ pages.
2. Find your UID and account details
Tap Me to find your UID. You will need it if you ever contact support or change your remisier. Your CDS account number identifies where your Bursa shares are held; keep it handy for IPO applications.
3. Check your personal and bank details
Go to Me > User Profile to confirm your address, phone number, email, income range and employment status. Updates are verified by eKYC inside the app, so there is no branch visit. Make sure the bank account you will use for deposits and withdrawals is in your own name.
4. Make your first deposit
Deposit with FPX online banking from your own bank account. Start small while you learn the app. Before trading, know what each trade costs: brokerage plus the standard clearing fee (0.03%, capped at RM1,000) and stamp duty (RM1 per RM1,000, capped at RM1,000). Current M+ Global rates are in our M+ Global Review 2026.
5. Learn two order types before your first trade
- Limit order: you choose the maximum price you will pay (or the minimum you will accept when selling). Bursa shares trade in board lots of 100 shares.
- Conditional order: you set a trigger price and M+ Global sends the order automatically when the price is reached. Use it for stop-losses and take-profits.
The full step-by-step, with deposit, buy, sell and stop-loss explained, is in How to Activate, Deposit and Trade on M+ Global.
Frequently asked questions

After you submit your application in M+ Global, it shows as “Submitted for Evaluation” until it is approved. Timing varies; your remisier can check the status for you.
