Introduction

Opening your Silo account is simple, fast, and completely digital. The process is designed to take just a few minutes — no hidden fees, no paperwork, and no confusing requirements. All you need is your basic information, an existing brokerage connection, and a few minutes to verify your identity.

Let’s walk through the process step-by-step so you can start earning your 1% annual boost.

1. Sign Up on the Silo Website

Head to the Silo homepage and click “Get Started.”
You’ll be prompted to enter your name, email, and a secure password. Once you verify your email, you’ll have access to your new Silo dashboard, where you can manage everything from your linked brokerage to your rewards balance.

2. Connect Your Existing Brokerage

Next, you’ll link your current brokerage account. Silo partners with Interactive Brokers (IBKR), one of the largest and most trusted custodians in the U.S.

This integration ensures your assets remain securely held under your name — Silo simply layers on its benefits (like the 1% boost) without moving your money or changing what you own.

3. Verify Your Identity

To comply with standard financial regulations, you’ll complete a quick KYC (Know Your Customer) check. This step confirms your identity and protects your account. You’ll need to provide:

  • A government-issued ID (passport or driver’s license)

  • Your address and date of birth

  • A brief questionnaire about your investing experience

Verification usually takes only a few minutes to process.

4. Fund Your Account and Start Earning

Once verification is complete, you can fund your account or transfer existing assets. From there, your portfolio begins earning Silo’s 1% annual boost automatically — no extra steps required.

You can track your growth, monitor returns, and view your cumulative boost directly from your Silo dashboard.
