Deposit & Withdrawals

Depositing money

To consistently meet the needs of all classes of traders, AvaTrade offers several ways of depositing money into your trading account:

To make a deposit, the first step is to log into your AvaTrade account. Click on the ‘Deposit’ section and select your preferred deposit method. Please also ensure that you have selected the specific trading account you wish to deposit into from the drop-down menu.

Deposit methods

Withdrawing money

In order to withdraw money from your AvaTrade account, you will need to ensure that your account has been verified and confirmed. Verifying your identity and account is one of the requirements of regulatory bodies and AvaTrade is required to strictly follow the “Know Your Customer” process. This process requires AvaTrade to verify the identity of its clients and to assess any potential risks of illegal intentions.

Withdrawal methods

As a result of international anti-money laundering regulations, withdrawals can only be sent via the payment methods by which you funded your account. Note that withdrawals must be up to 200% of your deposit to your credit or debit card. After this, you may then withdraw funds by another method, as per your instructions, but it must be in your own name.

Example for clarification. If you made a credit card deposit of $1,000 and you made a $1,200 profit, the first $2,000 you withdraw will go back to the original credit card used to make the deposit, and then the balance of $200, can be withdrawn using a different method, such as wire transfer, and other e-payment methods (for non-EU customers only).

In the case of a deposit made via a third party, that is not a credit card payment method, you must withdraw 100% of the deposit transaction on that initial payment method.
