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.
How do I deposit to a forex broker via bank wire?
Bank wire deposits to forex brokers take 1-3 business days for SEPA and 2-5 days for SWIFT. Log into the broker portal, select Deposit > Bank Wire, copy the unique reference code, and submit a transfer via your online banking. Funds appear in the trading account once the broker compliance team matches the reference.
Is Exness a safe broker?
Yes, Exness is a safe broker for EU clients. Exness (Cy) Ltd is regulated by CySEC under license 178/12 and also holds FCA and FSA licenses. All EU clients are covered by ICF compensation up to EUR 20,000, segregated client funds, and mandatory negative balance protection under ESMA rules.
Skrill vs bank wire for forex broker deposits — which is better?
Skrill is faster (instant vs 1-3 days SEPA) but typically charges a 1% transfer fee from your card and a 3.99% FX conversion fee if currencies don't match. Bank wire is free or near-free on SEPA but slower. For amounts above EUR 1,000, bank wire usually wins on total cost; for sub-EUR 500 quick top-ups, Skrill wins.
