We offer many ways to add money and withdraw profits from your trading account. Once you’ve set up your trading account, you can login to the FXPesa Portal and view all our available deposit methods, their transfer times and further details.
Can I change my existing account type or currency?
Once an account type and currency is set, it’s not possible to change these details to ensure we stay compliant to local regulators. We do allow up to three trading accounts under any one portal, so we recommend you open a second (or third – at the max) account with a new account type and currency.
