That’s why at Exness, we’ve set the minimum deposit to just $1 for most account types. This lets you test the waters without feeling like you’re risking too much upfront.

From our experience, this accessibility helps traders from all walks of life get involved. Whether you’re a student, a small business owner, or someone looking to earn extra income, that low barrier makes all the difference.

Understanding Deposit Limits and Verification

One thing users often ask is about deposit limits and the verification process here at Exness. For small deposits, like that $1 minimum, you don’t need to verify your account immediately. This lets you get started fast.

But if you want to deposit more or withdraw larger amounts, completing your verification by submitting ID and proof of address is essential. It usually takes 1-2 business days.

Verification Status Deposit Limit Withdrawal Limit
Unverified Up to $2,000 total Up to $2,000 total
Verified No limit or very high No limit or very high

Completing verification not only lifts limits but also speeds up withdrawals and unlocks premium support.

Managing Multiple Trading Accounts and Internal Transfers

After your first deposit, you might want to try different strategies or instruments. Our platform allows you to create multiple trading accounts under one personal area. This flexibility is handy for managing risk or testing markets separately.

How to Create Additional Accounts

Simply go to your personal area, click “Create New Account,” pick the account type and currency, and you’re set. The new account is ready instantly.

Moving Funds Between Accounts

Internal transfers let you move money between your trading accounts without delays or fees. For example, if you deposited $100 into one account but want to trade in another, just transfer the funds internally—it’s instant and straightforward.

Fees, Currency Options, and What to Expect

Let’s clear up any confusion about fees and currency. We don’t charge any fees when you deposit funds. That’s right—no deposit fees from our side.

However, your bank or payment provider might charge fees, so it’s smart to check with them beforehand. Also, if you deposit in a currency different from your account’s base currency, conversion fees may apply.

Payment Type Possible Fees Typical Processing Time
Credit/Debit Cards Possible bank fees Instant to minutes
Bank Transfers Bank charges possible 1-3 business days
Cryptocurrency Blockchain network fees Minutes to 1 hour

For Nigerian traders, sticking with e-wallets or cards often means the smoothest experience with minimal extra costs.
