Accessing your Motilal Oswal demat and trading account has become considerably simpler since the broker consolidated its digital presence under two purpose-built apps — MO Investor (now rebranded as RIISE by Motilal Oswal) for investors focused on long-term wealth building, and MO Trader for active equity and derivatives participants. Both apps connect to the same demat account and provide two separate user experiences optimised for different investing behaviours. The web platform at invest.motilaloswal.com handles desktop access. All routes use Two Factor Authentication — password plus OTP — in compliance with SEBI’s mandatory login security circular.
Understanding the Two Apps
Before logging in, it helps to know which app serves which purpose.
RIISE by Motilal Oswal (formerly MO Investor): This is the primary wealth-building app — covering stocks, mutual funds, IPOs, F&O, commodities, US stocks, fixed deposits, and portfolio management from a single interface. Trusted by 40 lakh+ investors, RIISE is the app most new Motilal Oswal account holders should start with. Login is via registered mobile number or client ID and password, followed by OTP.
MO Trader: A separate app built specifically for active traders — technical charts, F&O analytics, real-time order management, options chain, and advanced screeners. Same account credentials as RIISE.
Step-by-Step: Web Platform Login at invest.motilaloswal.com
Step 1 — Navigate to the Login Page. Open your browser and go to invest.motilaloswal.com. Verify the HTTPS padlock icon in the address bar before entering any credentials.
Step 2 — Enter Client ID or Mobile Number. Type your Motilal Oswal Client ID (received via email on account activation) or your registered mobile number. Motilal Oswal supports both options at the login screen.
Step 3 — Enter Password. Type your trading account password. Passwords are case-sensitive.
Step 4 — OTP Authentication. An OTP is dispatched to your registered mobile number. Enter it to complete the Two Factor Authentication mandatory for all SEBI-compliant platforms. Login completes after successful OTP verification.
Step 5 — Access Dashboard. You land on the Motilal Oswal investment dashboard — with portfolio holdings, order book, market data, research calls, and mutual fund portfolio all accessible from the same interface.
Step-by-Step: RIISE App Login (Mobile)
Download RIISE by Motilal Oswal from Google Play Store or Apple App Store. Open the app and enter your registered mobile number or Client ID. Enter password. Complete OTP verification on first login or after reinstallation. After the initial full-credential login, the app supports PIN-based or biometric (fingerprint/face recognition) authentication for faster subsequent logins — configure under Settings → Security after first login.
First-Time Login
New account holders receive a welcome email from Motilal Oswal containing their Client ID and a temporary password or password setup link. On first login, the system prompts you to change the temporary password to a custom password. Set a new password following Motilal Oswal’s complexity requirements: minimum 8 characters combining uppercase, lowercase, digits, and special characters. Login with the new credentials immediately.
Password Recovery
If you forget your password: click “Forgot Password” on the login page at invest.motilaloswal.com. Enter your User ID or Client ID, PAN card number, and date of birth. An OTP is sent to your registered mobile for identity verification. After verification, set a new password. If the registered mobile number is no longer active, contact Motilal Oswal customer care at 1800-200-6626 (toll-free) or +91-22-3980-9999 for mobile number update through identity verification.

Security Best Practices
Always use the official URL — invest.motilaloswal.com — and not links from SMS or email. Motilal Oswal will never ask for your password or OTP over phone or email — any such communication is fraudulent. Log out after every session, particularly on shared devices. Enable biometric login on your personal smartphone to prevent unauthorised app access.
