How do I deposit funds to a forex broker?
EU brokers accept SEPA bank transfer, debit/credit card (Visa, Mastercard), Skrill, Neteller, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and sometimes PayPal. SEPA transfers take 0-2 business days; cards and e-wallets are typically instant. Brokers cannot accept third-party deposits — funds must come from an account in the trader name.
