FxPro minimum deposit in South Africa 2026: $100 by card or wire
A first payment of $100 (about R1,700) is the stated minimum at FxPro when the route is a bank card or an international wire. FxPro quotes the sum in US dollars, so an account kept in a different currency is measured against the equivalent of $100. Below is where the money sits, which account types it can open and how withdrawal works.

The $100 threshold and the e-wallet exception
FxPro's published figure for a first deposit is $100 on a bank card or an international wire. PayPal, Skrill and Neteller stand apart: each has its own minimum, so the $100 threshold does not cover those routes.
Because the figure is quoted in US dollars, a trader whose account is denominated in another currency should count the equivalent of $100 in that currency. Credit time depends on the route, as the list below shows.
- Bank card: $100; usually credited in ~10 minutes.
- PayPal · Skrill · Neteller: the method's own minimum; same day.
- Bank wire (international): $100; 3–5 business days.
From FxPro Direct to the trading account
A payment does not go straight to a trading account. It first arrives in the FxPro Wallet, a balance held within FxPro Direct. From that wallet, money is moved to whichever trading account is opened.
- Access FxPro Direct and choose the payment method and amount; a card or wire needs $100 or more, while an e-wallet follows its own minimum.
- Wait for the funds to be credited: cards usually take ~10 minutes, e-wallets the same day and an international wire 3–5 business days.
- Move the balance from the Wallet to a trading account inside the portal; multiple accounts can be funded by splitting the amount.
What the same $100 can open
The minimum is not tied to a reduced account tier. On FxPro's published terms, $100 as a first deposit is enough for either account type: Standard, where the spread carries the cost, or Raw+, where the spread begins at 0.0 and a per-lot commission applies. FxPro also states that a swap-free version exists.
The account type is selected during registration. 'From' spreads are minimums rather than averages; the live figure shifts as market conditions change and appears for each instrument in the platform.
- Standard: commission $0; first deposit $100.
- Raw+: commission $3.50 /lot/side; first deposit $100.
Withdrawals and the no-deposit demo
Funds go back through the same payment channel used to make the deposit. Per FxPro, e-wallet withdrawals are completed on the same day.
The FxPro Direct portal also provides a demo account holding virtual funds; no payment is needed. The demo is listed at $0.
