iFOREX's international site says deposits can be made by credit and debit card, bank wire and alternative payment methods, with availability depending on your country. iFOREX doesn't typically charge deposit fees, though your bank or provider may. The minimum deposit isn't published: it varies by region and method and is shown during the deposit process. Cards and e-payments are usually credited instantly; bank wires can take several business days.

Deposit methods
From iFOREX’s payments FAQ, read on 2 November 2026:
| Method | Notes |
|---|---|
| Credit and debit cards | Usually credited instantly or shortly after |
| Bank wire transfer | Can take several business days, depending on your bank and location |
| Alternative payment solutions | Depend on your country of residence |
iFOREX doesn’t publish a country-by-country list: the methods and minimums for your region appear in your account when you start a deposit. You deposit from inside the platform; iFOREX’s start-trading page has a step-by-step video.
Minimum deposit
Not published as a single figure. iFOREX says the minimum “may vary depending on your region and the payment method you choose” and is shown during the deposit process. Its welcome bonus page adds that a minimum deposit may apply to the promotion. The only fixed figure in its public terms is a $100 minimum deposit mentioned for converting trial-account profit into a funded account: iFOREX no-deposit bonus.
Fees
iFOREX’s pricing page lists $0 for deposits and withdrawals on its side, with a footnote that your payment provider may charge under its own terms. Two costs to watch:
- Currency conversion. Funding by card in a currency other than your account currency may bring conversion fees from your card issuer, and trading instruments quoted in another currency can add conversion costs too.
- Your bank’s wire charges. International wires often carry sending and intermediary fees outside iFOREX’s control.
General advice: funding by credit card and deposit methods explained.
Rules that affect your deposit
- Withdrawals go back the same way. iFOREX says funds are generally returned by the method used to deposit, for anti-money-laundering reasons. Choosing a method you can also withdraw to saves trouble later: iFOREX withdrawals.
- Verification before withdrawing. You can deposit and trade first, but withdrawals need a verified account.
- The welcome bonus adds 50% of your first deposit up to $250, plus another $250 after verification and a first app trade: iFOREX bonus.
- Inactivity. After 12 months without trading, iFOREX may charge $15 per quarter.
Is it safe to pay?
iFOREX says payments are encrypted and that only deposits made through the official iFOREX app or platform are safe. Its Trade Safe page warns that staff will never ask for card details by phone or ask you to deposit in a new way or to a new bank account: is iFOREX safe?.
