There are many different payment methods available when transferring funds to a broker or trading platform online – different brokers support different deposit and withdrawal options. All payment methods also have different advantages and drawbacks, related to fees, processing times and limits.

Here we list all the different payment methods available at brokers, along with the brokers that accept them, plus tutorials covering everything a trader needs to know.

Quick Introduction

  • Choosing a broker that offers secure and low-cost funding options will improve your trading experience.
  • Many brokers require that withdrawals are processed back to the original deposit solution, so the payment method you use is important.
  • For some traders the time it takes to process a payment is essential, while other traders are fine with waiting a few days.
  • Likewise, depending on whether you will make many small transactions or fewer, larger ones, transaction costs might be more or less important.
  • An increasing number of brokers now facilitate deposits to trading accounts using e-wallets and digital currencies.
