Quotex supports several ways to fund an account, and the one you pick at deposit time matters more than it looks — withdrawals are generally sent back through the same method, so the choice you make now affects how you get paid out later too.
The minimum deposit
The minimum deposit is $5, and the minimum single trade is $1. That is low enough to test the platform properly on a small amount before committing more, which is worth doing regardless of which method you use.
Available methods
| Method | Typical speed | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Visa / Mastercard | Instant to a few minutes | Widely available, but withdrawals back to a card are the slowest of the three |
| Advcash | Instant | E-wallet, needs its own account set up first |
| Perfect Money | Instant | E-wallet, popular in several regions Quotex serves |
| Cryptocurrency | Depends on network confirmations, often under an hour | Usually the fastest method for both deposits and withdrawals |
Which of these actually appear in your account depends on your country of residence — the list shown in the deposit section is the accurate one for you, not any general list found online.
Why the method you deposit with matters later
Quotex, like most trading platforms, generally requires withdrawals to go back to the same method used for the deposit, and often for a similar amount. This is a standard anti-money-laundering control across the industry, not a Quotex-specific rule. If you deposit by card and later want to withdraw to crypto, expect that request to be adjusted or rejected.
Practically, this means the method you choose on day one is also the method your money will return to — so it is worth picking one you will still have easy access to when you withdraw.
Card vs e-wallet vs crypto
Cards
The most familiar option and the easiest to start with. The trade-off is on the way out: refunds to a card route back through the card network, which is consistently the slowest withdrawal path, often 3 to 7 business days.
E-wallets
Advcash and Perfect Money both process deposits instantly and tend to have faster withdrawals than cards, but you need an account with the e-wallet provider itself first, which is an extra setup step if you do not already use one.
Cryptocurrency
Usually the fastest method in both directions, since it does not depend on a bank's processing schedule. The trade-off is that crypto transactions are irreversible — sending to the wrong address cannot be undone — so double-check the deposit address every time.
A sensible way to start
- Pick the method you can access most reliably, not just the fastest one on paper.
- Deposit a small amount first — the $5 minimum is enough to confirm the method works end to end.
- Do a small test withdrawal early, before depositing a larger amount, so you learn your own timing.
- Keep that same method available for future withdrawals rather than switching between them.
A note on risk
However you fund the account, only deposit money you can afford to lose completely. Quotex is not regulated by a major financial authority such as the FCA or ASIC, so the consumer protections that apply with a regulated broker do not apply here in the same way. Start small, and treat the first deposit as a way to test the platform rather than a serious trading position.
