Deposit conditions.

There are a couple of important things to note before you make your first deposit.

We do not accept payments from third parties. Please ensure that all deposits into your trading account come from a bank account or card in your name. Payments from joint bank accounts and cards are accepted if the trading account holder is one of the parties named on the joint bank account or card.

The first time you fund your account, please deposit a minimum of $250 or equivalent.

If you are depositing funds in a different currency than the base currency of your trading account, the transfer amount will be converted into your account’s base currency at the market prevailing exchange rate.

Security of funds.

Your money is held in segregated client accounts, which means it’s separate from company funds. This ensures that client funds cannot be used for any other purpose. All payment information is confidential and used only for the purpose of funding your trading account. We do not store your payment information in our database.

Internal transfers.

Internal transfers between MT4 accounts or MT5 accounts are instant. For transfers between different currency accounts, market prevailing exchange rates are used. We don’t apply any fees for internal transfers. Note that transfers between your MT4 and MT5 accounts are not currently available.
