Deposit and Withdrawal Options

They offer the channels as per the below image in which some of the methods even have charges for depositing funds to your account.

As my bank card was not working for international transactions, I used Neteller to fund my account and it was quite easy to do so, even I got my funds in my account within a minute or two.

The minimum deposit amount is 10 dollars but for an ECN account, 10 dollars are not sufficient as the lot size is 0.10 in volume so for that more amount is required in that account. Apart from that you can start trading by depositing USD 10 dollars in your account, but remember you will only be able to trade as per the money you have deposited.

As per the image, it is clear that they do charge when you withdraw your funds, the percentage differs as per the platform you use to withdraw your funds from. I used Netellar to withdraw my funds and was charged a commission which is min 1 dollar or 2% of the withdrawal amount. This is the first broker I came to know who charges fees on withdrawal, it is already expensive from spread and commission after that also they charge withdrawal fees which eventually make the cost of the broker higher.

So, this is also a factor in increasing the cost of the broker, there are other brokers who don’t charge a single penny on deposits and withdrawals.

Deposit Withdraw Rate / FBS Deposit Fee

If we say about the amount they charge on deposit and withdrawal, well deposit doesn’t have a charge from the channel I have funded my account I didn’t pay a single penny while depositing funds. But when I tried to withdraw my funds it was clear that there will be a deduction of the amount. The minimum amount that will be deducted would be USD 1 or 2% of the withdrawal amount.

For example, if you are withdrawing USD 10 dollars from an account, then the amount they charge would be USD 1 and you will receive USD 9 in your account whereas if you are withdrawing USD 250 then 2% would be deducted which would be USD 5 and to be sincere it is expensive.
