A credit or a debit card is an easy way to deposit money, and it is processed immediately

In order to deposit with your card, the card must have the online-transactions option enabled. Some cards have online transactions turned off by default, so it is advisable to ask your bank if you can use your card to pay online. If you have tried to deposit with your card and failed, contact your bank. Some banks will activate this feature on request, others allow you to do it yourself via internet banking.

If you really can’t use your card online or you don’t want to enter your card details over the internet, you can use one of the options listed below.

All brokers offer the option of depositing via bank transfer. As a rule, there are two options - the broker’s bank account will either be in your country or abroad. Bank transfer options are often listed by brokers in the following way: "Wire Transfer" and "Fast Bank Transfer". Whenever you see the "Fast Bank Transfer" option, you use it because they have local bank accounts in most countries around the world - so it is easier and cheaper to use

If the broker only has a foreign bank account, you will have to send an international bank transfer, for which there is usually an associated fee, and it takes several days. In this case, it is better to make the deposit by credit card. However, if you really want to send a bank transfer, you can do it through internet banking or at the nearest branch of your bank.
