**Fees

  • Deposit facilities are to be used for trading only.
  • Please keep in mind that we cover the merchant fee’s for Neteller and Credit Card deposits on behalf of our clients - in some cases up to 4% of the deposit amount. We are happy to do so as long as our clients are using the facility to deposit funds to trade with and not to game the system for their own benefit such as reward points on their account.
  • If a client deposits funds via Neteller or Credit Card and then requests a withdrawal of these funds with no trading (or minimal trading) on their account then we reserve the right to charge the applicable merchant fees to the clients account upon their withdrawal. We will actively notify clients where we find suspicious activity. Recurring cases of abuse will see the clients account immediately closed.

Third Party Payments

ExpressOptions does not accept payments from third parties. Please ensure all deposits into your ExpressOptions trading account come from a bank account in the same name. Payments from a joint bank account will be accepted if the account holder is one of the parties on the bank account.

Processing time

To avoid any delay, please ensure you include your reference number as this helps us match your funds. To find your reference number please refer to your initial funding instruction email or log into Client Portal.
