Everything a beginner needs to know before funding an account — the minimum, the payment options, and the costs to watch.
One of the first questions new traders ask is simple: how much do I need to start? On Quotex the entry point is low — typically around $10 — but the smarter question is how much you should deposit, and what it actually costs to fund and use the account.
The minimum deposit is generally about $10 (or the local-currency equivalent). The exact amount can vary depending on your country and the payment method you choose. A low minimum is useful because it lets you test the live platform with a small, controlled amount once you've practised on the demo.
Important: a low minimum does not make trading low-risk. It simply lowers the barrier to entry. You should still only deposit money you are fully prepared to lose.
Available methods depend on your region, but commonly include:
The exact list shown to you at checkout is the authoritative one, since availability changes by country and over time.
Deposits themselves are usually free on the platform side. However, your bank, card issuer or e-wallet may charge its own fee or apply a currency-conversion spread if you fund in a different currency. Always check with your payment provider so you're not surprised.
Cards and e-wallets are typically credited within a few minutes. Bank transfers and some crypto methods can take longer. If a deposit hasn't appeared after the expected window, contact the platform's support with your payment reference.
Start with the minimum, not the maximum. The goal of your first deposit is to learn how real execution feels — not to chase profit. Treat early deposits as the cost of education, keep position sizes tiny, and never top up to recover a loss in the heat of the moment. That single habit protects more beginners than any strategy. Our payout & risk calculator shows why.
