    Funding your account

    We have lots of different secure ways for you to fund your trading account at Trade Nation.

    You can add money by debit or credit card; we have a comprehensive range of payment service providers that allow us to accept card payments from hundreds of card issuers from countries across the world. We also accept payments by Skrill.

    Transfer your funds from your bank account directly into our segregated customer accounts at Barclays, Westpac and ABSA.

    Fund with Crypto, we accept Bitcoin as payment which we will then convert into your chosen fiat currency. 

    How much should you pay into your account? 

    We don’t have a minimum deposit amount, but it’s important to understand the relationship between the size of your deposit and the amount you will be able to trade.

    The all-important word here is ‘leverage’, all of our markets have different levels of leverage, the higher the leverage, the smaller deposit you will need to be able to trade. But remember, with higher leverage comes increased risk, never trade with money you can’t afford to lose.

    Our trading platform, and you don’t need to have funds in your account to open it, will help you work out the size of deposit you’ll need.

    Just launch the platform and click on the trade button next to the market you are interested in, don’t worry, you won’t place an actual trade, and type in a figure in the amount box. At the bottom of the trade ticket, you’ll see an estimated ‘margin’ which is the same as an estimated deposit. As you change the figure, up and down, the estimated deposit amount will also change. This will help you decide how much you should pay into your account with us.
