One of the most important factors when choosing a broker is the ease and reliability of moving your money. Quotex provides a wide range of options for both deposits and withdrawals, ensuring traders globally can fund their accounts quickly and retrieve their profits efficiently. This guide outlines all the methods, fees, processing times, and essential security requirements.
Overview of Deposit Methods on Quotex
Quotex offers diverse funding options, from modern digital currencies to traditional banking methods. The minimum deposit amount is generally $10, though this can vary slightly based on your chosen currency or region.
1. Cryptocurrency (Recommended for Speed and Accessibility)
Cryptocurrencies offer the fastest and most borderless way to fund your trading account. They typically involve zero fees from the Quotex side, though network fees apply.
- Available Coins: Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), Tether (USDT), and others.
- Processing Time: Deposits are usually credited within minutes once the necessary network confirmations are met.
- Benefit: Excellent for users dealing with cross-border transactions or facing banking restrictions.
2. Electronic Wallets (E-Wallets)
E-wallets provide an excellent balance between speed and ease of use, acting as a secure intermediary between your bank and the broker.
- Popular Options: Advcash, Perfect Money, WebMoney, and various regional e-wallets.
- Processing Time: Instantaneous in most cases.
- Benefit: Often bypasses potential bank restrictions and offers added privacy.
3. Bank Cards and Transfers
While available in many regions, direct bank card and transfer deposits can sometimes be slower or encounter higher rejection rates due to bank policies regarding international brokerage services.
- Methods: Visa and MasterCard (debit/credit).
- Processing Time: Instant to a few hours, but may take longer depending on the banking provider.
- Minimums: May have slightly higher minimums in some regions to cover processing costs.
The Withdrawal Process: Getting Your Profits Out
A key indicator of a legitimate broker is a smooth withdrawal process. Quotex aims to process withdrawal requests quickly, but requires strict adherence to security protocols.
Withdrawal Methods and Rules
The primary rule for Quotex withdrawals is the Source Consistency Principle: funds must be withdrawn using the exact same payment method and account used for the original deposit.
- E-Wallets & Crypto: These are the fastest methods. Requests are often processed internally within a few hours and usually arrive in your wallet within 1-2 business days.
- Bank Cards: Withdrawal via bank card can sometimes take longer, potentially 3-7 business days, depending on your bank's procedures.
- Minimum Withdrawal: The standard minimum withdrawal amount is $10 (or cryptocurrency equivalent).
Security Note: If you used multiple methods for deposits, the withdrawal must be allocated proportionally back to those sources as per Anti-Money Laundering (AML) rules.
Fees and Processing Times Explained
Quotex generally does not charge any fees for deposits or withdrawals. However, there are exceptions and external charges to be aware of:
- Payment System Fees: Your bank, credit card provider, or crypto wallet network (gas fees) may apply their own small fees for processing the transaction.
- Currency Conversion Fees: If your trading account currency differs from your local bank account currency, your bank may impose a conversion fee.
- Quotex Fee (Rare): Quotex reserves the right to impose a fee if the withdrawal amount is disproportionately small compared to the balance, as detailed in the Payment Policy. Always consult the policy for the latest details.
The Role of Account Verification (KYC)
For any significant withdrawal, or often even the first one, Account Verification (KYC) is mandatory. This is not designed to delay your funds; it is a regulatory security step to prevent fraud and theft.
If you haven't verified your identity yet, processing your withdrawal will halt until this step is complete. We strongly recommend completing it right after registration using our Quick Guide: How to Pass Quotex Account Verification (KYC).

Quotex offers a reliable and diverse payment system, emphasizing digital methods for fast transactions. The key to a seamless experience is preparation: always use consistent payment sources and complete your account verification as early as possible. By understanding the processes and potential external fees, you can manage your finances confidently and focus entirely on your trading strategy.
