Last updated: 5 October 2026. The minimums below were read from IQ Option’s own deposits page, on Practice accounts registered in sixteen countries, on 4 and 5 October 2026. We stopped before every payment button, so no money was sent.
The minimum deposit on IQ Option is the equivalent of $10, €10 or £10 for most payment methods. In your account currency that is, for example, 55 BRL in Brazil, 175 MXN in Mexico and 35 PEN in Peru. A few local methods ask for more, up to 100 MYR (DUITNOW QR in Malaysia, $27). Find your country in the table below, or follow the two steps further down to read the numbers for your own account.

How to read the table:
- Lowest minimum: the smallest amount on the page, in the account’s currency. The line under it is what the same row lists in US dollars, euros and pounds. Argentina, Bangladesh, Kenya and Sri Lanka have no local currency: accounts there are in USD, EUR or GBP, so the amount is in dollars.
- Methods with a higher minimum: every method whose amount is above the lowest one, with the dollar figure that the page lists for it. Ten of the sixteen countries use one minimum for every method on the page; in six (Brazil, Colombia, Malaysia, Peru, Thailand and Vietnam) some methods have a higher one.
- Not every method is in the table. The cashier can offer methods that IQ Option’s page does not list. In Brazil, for example, PIX, PicPay and Boleto Rapido are not on the page, but the Brazilian cashier showed each of them a range that starts at R$ 55 (see the Brazil guide).
- Colombia: the page lists different peso amounts for the same $10: 12,000 COP for Mastercard, Visa, Efecty and Volet.com, but 46,000 COP for Skrill, Neteller, Apple Pay and Google Pay. Read the amount for your method.
How to check the minimum for your own account
The table shows what accounts registered in sixteen countries saw. Your account sees the methods and amounts of the country it is registered in. These two steps show them, with a Brazilian Practice account as the example.
Step 1: Read IQ Option’s deposits page
Log in, then open iqoption.com/en/payment-methods/deposits. The “Min. amount” column (1) lists each method’s minimum in your account currency, then in EUR, GBP, RUB and USD. The “Commission” column (2) shows the deposit fee: 0% for every method on this page.
Step 2: Type a small amount in the cashier
The deposits page gives only the minimum, and it does not list every method. To see the full range for a method, including its maximum and methods that are not on the page, open the cashier (the green Deposit button, then Top up your account), choose the method and the account currency, and type an amount below the minimum, such as 1. The cashier shows the allowed range under the field (1). In this example PIX accepted R$ 55 to R$ 150,000. Below it, the bonus line (2) says from which amount the welcome bonus starts. We typed an amount only and went no further.
For the whole flow, see how to deposit on IQ Option or the guide for your country in the table.
Minimum deposit and the welcome bonus
In every country we tested, the cashier showed the bonus code IQWELCOME already applied. The amount from which the bonus starts is close to the minimum: in Brazil it is R$ 52, below the R$ 55 minimum; in Mexico it is 180 MXN, above the 175 MXN minimum. The IQ Option bonus and discount guide lists the start amount for every country and the bonus terms.
If the numbers do not match
- The cashier says the amount is too low. Type at least the lower end of the range under the field. The range belongs to the method you picked.
- A method you expected is missing. The list depends on the country of your account. IQ Option’s page also says that unless your account is fully verified, some countries may have restrictions on certain deposit methods. See how account verification works.
- Your account currency is not the one you wanted. The cashier asks for the currency before your first deposit and warns that it cannot be changed afterwards, so check it before you pay.
- The page shows other numbers than the table. The table is from 4 and 5 October 2026. IQ Option can change its minimums, and the page you see is the one that counts.
