Fees

- international or intermediary banks;
- crypto service providers;
- your card issuer, if it treats the payment as a cash advance.
How to deposit
- Log in to the User Centre (no account yet? see how to open an EBC account) and click Deposit.
- Pick the trading account, then the method, and enter the amount.
- Read the payment terms and tick the box to agree.
- Complete the payment within the time limit, or the order is cancelled.
- For bank transfers, click “I have completed payment” so the system can match your payment.
Tips from EBC’s Deposit Guidelines II:
- Use a new receiving account or crypto address every time: the details change.
- Leave the transfer remark empty. Words such as “investment” or “forex” can make banks block the payment, and EBC returns it.
- Your own name only. Payments from someone else’s account are returned at your cost; joint accounts are accepted if you’re a holder.
- Late deposit? Email cs@ebc.com with the transfer receipt and order number.
Withdrawals use the same route
EBC rejects withdrawals by a different route from the deposit (for example, deposit by local bank, withdraw by crypto). Plan your method with that in mind: EBC withdrawals.
Bonus
EBC has no deposit bonus; its activities page lists no bonus on deposits on 31 October 2026.
