FXCM deposits and withdrawals

Deposits and withdrawals

Available funding methods include Visa, Mastercard, bank transfer, Skrill, Neteller and regional electronic payment methods. Processing times, limits, fees and availability vary by country, currency and account entity.

Withdrawals are stated at Usually processed within 1-2 business days; settlement depends on method, against Cards/e-wallets generally instant; bank wire typically 1-5 business days for deposits. A gap between the two is normal and not in itself a warning sign - identity checks are a legal obligation, not obstruction. What is worth noticing is a withdrawal that keeps meeting new conditions after those checks are done.

Withdrawal routes: bank transfer, credit/debit card, skrill, neteller and applicable original funding methods. Money is usually returned by the route it arrived on, so the deposit method you pick is in effect the withdrawal method you are picking too.

The minimum withdrawal is $50 for bank wire; lower/no minimum for some electronic methods - relevant if you intend to fund the account lightly, since it sets the smallest amount you can take out at a time.

Identity, payment ownership and source-of-funds checks may be required before a withdrawal is processed.
