How much to send: Axi recommends $100 for a Standard account and at least $200 so the balance can cover margin on open trades.
Maximum deposits
There’s no fixed maximum. Unverified accounts are limited to $5,000; verified accounts may get higher limits depending on the method. Your exact limit shows in the portal at the time of deposit.
Fees
From Axi’s fees article:
- No Axi fee within total deposits of $50,000 per calendar month by card or other payment methods; Axi may charge on amounts above that.
- Bank transfers are free regardless of amount.
- Currency conversion: local-currency rates refresh every 10 minutes with no Axi markup.
- Third-party fees (intermediary banks, payment providers) can still apply, and some card issuers treat a broker payment as a cash advance.
Crypto deposits
Axi accepts USDT, XRP, LTC, ETH and Bitcoin Cash where crypto is offered. In the app you choose the coin and network, then pay through a Finrax window by QR code or address.
- Use a new address for each deposit, within the time limit shown.
- Pick the same network your wallet uses. For USDT Axi names ERC20, BEP20 and Polygon. Funds sent on the wrong network can be lost permanently.
- The network (gas) fee is paid to the blockchain, not Axi.

Rules worth knowing
- Your name only. Cards, bank accounts and e-wallets must be in your own name; company cards count as third-party even with your name on them.
- Return to source. Whatever you deposit by card, e-wallet or crypto must be withdrawn back to that method first. Bank transfer and local payment agent deposits are exempt. See Axi withdrawals.
- No deposit bonus. Axi has no standing bonus; campaign offers, when they run, are sent to eligible clients. See Axi bonus.
