The basic minimum deposit starts at R1,000 for most account types, making our services accessible across various experience levels.
FxPro operates under FSCA regulation, ensuring compliance with South African financial laws. Deposits via local banks are processed within 24 hours, while card payments are credited instantly. The exact minimum deposit depends on your chosen account type and platform.

The system auto-converts amounts if your account currency differs. Confirm all transaction details, including fees, before submission. Bank transfer deposits require manual confirmation, while card payments process automatically.

Currency Support and Conversion Rates
We support ZAR as a base currency for South African accounts. Deposits in ZAR retain full value when trading forex pairs involving the rand. Real-time interbank conversion rates apply for other currency pairs like USD, EUR, and GBP.
Currency conversion occurs only when trading instruments quoted in foreign currencies. We apply narrow spreads during conversions, updated every few seconds in active markets.
ZAR Base Currency Benefits
Maintaining ZAR accounts reduces conversion fees for deposits and withdrawals. Profits and losses are calculated in South African Rand, facilitating local tax reporting. Monthly statements and trade reports are generated in ZAR for clarity.
Payment Processing Times and Verification Requirements
Deposits comply with South African banking timelines and FSCA rules. Bank transfers take 1-2 business days to confirm, while card payments credit instantly. Verification status impacts deposit limits and processing speeds.
Unverified accounts have a maximum deposit limit of R5,000 per transaction. Completing document verification removes these restrictions and speeds up processing.
| Verification Level | Deposit Limit | Processing Time | Additional Benefits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Unverified | R5,000 | 24-48 hours | Basic platform access |
| Partially Verified | R25,000 | 12-24 hours | Standard support |
| Fully Verified | Unlimited | Instant-2 hours | Priority support |
Required Verification Documents
- South African ID or valid passport
- Proof of residential address (utility bill or bank statement)
- Bank account verification letter
- Proof of employment or income
Verification usually completes within 24 hours but may extend to 48 hours if additional documents are needed.
Trading Platform Integration and Account Funding
FxPro’s deposit system integrates directly with all supported trading platforms. MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 update account balances in real time after deposit confirmation. cTrader users benefit from an integrated wallet that reflects deposits instantly.
FxPro Edge web platform synchronizes balances across devices, ensuring consistency. Mobile apps update balances automatically as deposits complete.
MetaTrader Platform Balance Updates
Balances refresh every 30 seconds during active trading hours. Deposits over R10,000 trigger platform notifications. The account history tab logs all deposit transactions with timestamps, which can be filtered and exported.
Multi-Platform Account Synchronization
Balances and transaction histories synchronize across all platforms immediately. Switching between MetaTrader, cTrader, or web platforms displays consistent account data. This unified approach simplifies fund management for traders.
