Available Deposit Methods
Availability may vary by country and payment provider. Check the StoicFX broker portal for the most current options in your region.
Cryptocurrency
Deposit using Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Tether (USDT), or other supported cryptocurrencies. Crypto deposits are processed on-chain and are typically available in your trading account after the required network confirmations. This method works from any country and does not depend on local banking infrastructure.
Credit and Debit Cards
Visa and Mastercard deposits are accepted where available. Card processing depends on your issuing bank, and some banks in certain LATAM countries may block international financial transactions. If your card deposit is declined, it is usually a bank-side restriction, not a StoicFX limitation. Contact your bank or try an alternative method.
E-Wallets
Electronic wallet services provide an intermediary between your local bank and your trading account. Availability of specific e-wallet providers varies by country. Check the broker portal deposit section for the e-wallet options currently available in your region.
International Bank Wire
Bank wire transfers are accepted from any country. This method typically takes longer to process compared to crypto or cards and may involve intermediary bank fees. Wire transfers are best suited for larger deposits where the processing time and fees are proportionally smaller relative to the transfer amount.
Tips for LATAM Traders
Latin American traders face some unique considerations when funding international trading accounts. These tips address the most common questions and challenges.
Local Currency Considerations
StoicFX accounts are denominated in USD. When you deposit in a local currency (BRL, MXN, COP, CLP, ARS), the amount is converted at the prevailing exchange rate. Keep in mind that exchange rates fluctuate, so the USD amount credited may differ slightly from the estimate shown at the time of deposit.
Complete Verification Early
Identity verification (KYC) is required before you can deposit or withdraw funds. Submit your documents (government-issued ID and proof of address) as soon as you open your account. This avoids delays when you are ready to fund. Verification is a regulatory requirement under FSCA rules, and StoicFX processes documents as quickly as possible.
Why Crypto Is Popular in LATAM
Cryptocurrency is widely used by Latin American traders because it bypasses local banking restrictions on international financial transfers. It is accessible from any country, does not require a traditional bank account, and typically processes faster than card or wire methods. If you already hold crypto, this is often the most straightforward deposit path.
Processing Time Expectations
Processing times vary by method. Crypto deposits depend on blockchain network confirmation times. Card and e-wallet deposits may process within minutes to hours. Bank wires can take several business days depending on intermediary banks. Always check the broker portal for estimated processing times specific to your chosen method.
Step-by-Step Deposit Process
Follow these steps to complete your first deposit. The process is the same regardless of which payment method you choose.
Log In to Your Broker Portal
Visit broker.stoicfx.com and sign in with the credentials you created during registration. If you have not yet created an account, register first and complete the email verification step.
Complete Identity Verification
Navigate to the verification section and submit your government-issued ID (passport, national ID, or driver's license) and a proof of address document (utility bill or bank statement from the last three months). Additional documentation may be requested to verify the source of funds, as required for enhanced due diligence under FSCA regulations. Verification is a one-time requirement.
Select Your Deposit Method
Go to the Deposits section in the broker portal. You will see all available deposit methods for your region. Select the method you prefer and enter the amount you wish to deposit. The portal will display any relevant details, including estimated processing time.
Confirm and Complete
Follow the on-screen instructions to finalize your deposit. For crypto, you will be given a wallet address to send funds to. For cards and e-wallets, you will be redirected to the payment processor. Once the deposit is confirmed, the funds will appear in your MT5 trading account.
Common Funding Questions by Region
Each Latin American country has its own banking landscape and regulatory environment. Below is region-specific guidance for the most common questions.
Mexico
Mexican traders can use cards (Visa/Mastercard), crypto, or bank wires. Some Mexican banks flag international financial transactions, so inform your bank before attempting a card deposit. Crypto (especially USDT) is a popular alternative that avoids banking restrictions entirely. Deposits in MXN are converted to USD at the prevailing rate.
Colombia
Colombian traders frequently use cryptocurrency due to local banking regulations on international transfers. Card deposits may work depending on your issuing bank. PSE (local payment system) is not directly supported, but e-wallet options may bridge the gap. Deposits in COP are converted to USD automatically.
Brazil
Brazilian traders can use Pix-funded e-wallets, crypto, or international card payments. Direct Pix transfers to StoicFX are not supported, but Pix can be used to fund an intermediary e-wallet. Crypto remains the simplest cross-border option. BRL deposits are converted to USD at the current exchange rate.
Argentina and Chile
Traders in Argentina and Chile commonly use cryptocurrency to fund international accounts due to local capital controls and banking restrictions. Card deposits may be limited by bank policies. For Argentine traders specifically, the USD-ARS conversion rate applied is the official rate at the time of deposit.
