Payment Methods and Deposit Procedures
We accept multiple payment options optimized for Indian clients. VISA and MasterCard deposits reflect instantly, while bank transfers via NEFT, RTGS, and IMPS vary between immediate and up to three days. INR to USD conversions occur at competitive rates to minimize overhead costs.
Credit Card and Debit Card Processing
Deposits made by card are credited to accounts in real time. Both domestic and international cards issued by Indian banks are accepted. Deposit limits range from $10 to $10,000 per transaction depending on verification status. The deposit flow involves entering card details, selecting amount in INR or USD, and confirming through secure payment gateways. A nominal processing fee of 1-2% applies.
Bank Transfer Options
Our platform supports local bank transfers including NEFT, RTGS, and IMPS. Transfer speeds vary with IMPS being the fastest (15-30 minutes) and NEFT typically taking 2-4 hours. Users must provide our beneficiary details, including IFSC codes, and include unique reference numbers for proper crediting. Bank transfers are recommended for deposits above $100 to reduce relative fees.
Currency Conversion and Exchange Rates
Our system automatically converts INR deposits to USD at real-time interbank rates. The conversion rate is displayed transparently before finalizing deposits. Rates are locked during the transaction to avoid fluctuations. No hidden charges or markups apply beyond a small spread of 0.5-1% over mid-market rates. Historical rates are accessible within the account transaction history for review.
Exchange Rate Calculation Methods
We source exchange rates from major financial institutions and update them every few seconds during market hours. Weekends and public holidays use the last available rates from Friday’s close. The spread applied covers operational costs and guarantees competitive pricing.
Monitoring and Transparency
Indian traders can track exchange rates and conversion details via the platform dashboard. Monthly statements include timestamps and exact rates applied for every currency conversion transaction.
Funding Timeline and Processing Speeds
Processing times depend on the chosen funding method. Card payments credit instantly, while bank transfers require additional time due to interbank processing. We provide clear time estimates during deposit initiation to manage expectations.

Card deposits process normally during weekends. Bank transfers queue for the next business day based on the Reserve Bank of India calendar. For urgent weekend funding, card deposits are recommended to ensure immediate availability. Our platform remains accessible 24/7 regardless of banking hours.
Account Verification Impact on Deposits
Verification status influences deposit limits and processing speeds. Unverified accounts are restricted to deposits under $100. Required documents include government-issued photo ID, address proof, and bank verification. Indian traders commonly use Aadhaar, PAN, or passport for ID. Address proofs are accepted if dated within six months.

Verification completes within 24-48 hours, enabling higher deposit limits and faster processing.
