A zero or low minimum deposit can reduce account-testing friction, but it does not remove spreads, commissions, swaps, conversion costs or withdrawal rules. Use the cost of trading calculator for scenario modelling, then confirm current charges with the broker.

Minimum-deposit checklist

  1. 1Confirm the current minimum deposit on the broker's official funding page.
  2. 2Check whether the threshold differs by legal entity, account type, base currency, payment method or country.
  3. 3Verify minimum withdrawal, payment-provider fees, FX conversion, inactivity fees and any account-maintenance charges.
  4. 4Test withdrawal rules with a small amount before relying on the broker for a larger balance.
  5. 5Save the funding terms, fee schedule and account agreement with the date checked.
