Octa's deposits are built for Southeast Asia: local bank transfers in Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia, plus crypto and e-wallets. Octa's announcements say local bank deposits have no Octa fee and a $5 minimum (Maybank and CIMB Bank in Malaysia), while review sites list a $25 minimum for the main accounts. Deposits must come from an account in your own name.
Deposit methods
| Method | Countries | Minimum | Octa fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| Local bank transfer / online banking | Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and more | $5 (per Octa announcements) | None |
| Crypto (e.g. USDT, BTC) | Most countries | Shown in the client area | None (network fees apply) |
| E-wallets | Depends on country | Shown in the client area | None |
The methods you see depend on your country of residence. In Malaysia, Octa’s announcement names Maybank and CIMB Bank for deposits and withdrawals. In Thailand, Octa describes instant transfers within the same bank. Compare these with cards, bank wires and crypto in our deposit methods guide.
Step by step
- Log in to the Octa client area and choose Deposit.
- Pick your country’s local bank method, crypto or an e-wallet.
- Enter the amount and check the exchange rate if you pay in local currency.
- Pay from an account in your own name.
- The deposit usually arrives within minutes for local banks; crypto needs network confirmations.
Things to check
- Your own name only. Payments from someone else’s account are a common reason for refused withdrawals: see why brokers refuse withdrawals.
- Crypto network. Send on the network shown in the client area; a wrong network can lose the funds. Our crypto deposit guide covers this.
- Bonus. Deposits can qualify for Octa’s 50% bonus: see Octa bonus.
- Withdrawals go back the same way. Plan how you’ll withdraw before you deposit: Octa withdrawals.
