Understanding the specifics of cash deposits is crucial for efficiently managing your funds. This guide provides a detailed overview of how to find information on transaction limits, applicable fees, and expected processing times when depositing cash, ensuring a smooth and predictable experience.
How to Access the Cash Deposit Feature
You can easily deposit cash into your account using various local payment methods available in your region. The available options are accessible after you log in to your account via the mobile application or the official website.
Using the Mobile Application

Via the Website

- Proceed to the cash deposit section within your account.
- A complete list of supported currencies and all local cash deposit methods will be displayed based on your region.
Understanding Processing Fees for Deposits
A processing fee is a charge applied to cover the costs associated with handling a financial transaction. Platforms strive to keep these fees as low as possible. The fee structure is always displayed transparently before you confirm any transaction.
- If a fee is applicable, the exact amount will be clearly shown.
- If no fee is charged for a method, it will be explicitly stated as No fee.
You will always see the processing fee when you select a specific deposit method. For a deeper understanding of available financial tools, you can explore more strategies for managing transaction costs.
Common Types of Processing Fees
Different fee structures may apply depending on the service provider and the chosen method.
Flat Fees
This is a fixed fee charged per transaction, regardless of the deposit amount.
- Example: A flat fee of 3 USD means you pay 3 USD whether you deposit 10 USD or 1,000 USD.
Percentage Fees
This fee is calculated as a percentage of your total deposit amount.
- Example: A 2% fee on a 100 USD deposit equals a 2 USD charge. For a 500 USD deposit, the fee would be 10 USD.
Percentage + Flat Fees
This is a combined fee structure involving both a percentage of the deposit and a fixed flat fee.
Example: A fee of 1.5% + 1 USD.
- For a 200 USD deposit: 1.5% of 200 USD = 3 USD, plus the 1 USD flat fee.
- The total fee would be 4 USD.
The final and exact fee amount will always be shown on the Deposit Preview screen before you finalize the transaction. This fee is automatically deducted from the total amount you are depositing.
- Example: If you deposit 10 USD with a 2 USD fee, the net amount credited to your account will be 8 USD.
Explaining Deposit Limits
Deposit limits define the minimum and maximum amounts you can transfer into your account. These limits can apply to a single transaction or over a set period (daily, weekly, monthly) and are in place to comply with local financial regulations. Your specific limits can vary based on:
- The specific cash deposit method you select.
- Your account verification level and status.
When choosing a deposit method, the interface will display your remaining available limit for that option. You can typically select an information icon (i) next to the limit to see more detailed information.
Categories of Deposit Limits
Minimum Deposit Limit
- The smallest amount of money you can deposit in a single transaction.
Daily Limit
- The maximum amount you can deposit within any 24-hour window.
- This limit resets on a rolling basis, exactly 24 hours after each transaction is made.
Weekly Limit
- The maximum amount you can deposit over a consecutive 7-day period.
- This limit resets on a rolling basis, 7 days after a transaction that consumed part of the limit.

Estimated Processing Times
Processing time refers to the estimated duration it takes for a deposited amount to be fully processed and for the funds to appear in your account balance. While many modern cash deposit methods are instant, some traditional bank transfers can take longer.
- The processing time for your selected method will always be displayed before you confirm the deposit.
- Depending on the transfer type and the policies of your bank, some deposits may take up to 5 business days to complete.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I see the exact fee for my deposit before I confirm it?
The exact processing fee is always displayed on the Deposit Preview screen before you finalize the transaction. This allows you to see the exact amount that will be deducted from your deposit before you submit it.
Why do my deposit limits change?
Your deposit limits are primarily influenced by your chosen payment method and your account verification level. Completing higher levels of identity verification often results in increased deposit limits. Limits are also in place to comply with regional financial regulations.
What does it mean when a limit resets on a 'rolling basis'?
A rolling basis reset means the limit counter resets a full period (e.g., 24 hours for a daily limit) after the specific transaction that used the limit was made. It does not reset at a fixed time like midnight or the start of a calendar week.
Are there any ways to deposit cash without incurring a fee?

My deposit hasn’t arrived yet, but the processing time has passed. What should I do?
First, double-check the estimated processing time for your specific method. If the stipulated time has clearly elapsed, you should view real-time tools and contact customer support for assistance, providing them with your transaction details.
Is the minimum deposit limit the same for all payment methods?
No, the minimum deposit limit can vary significantly between different cash deposit providers and methods. Always check the terms for your selected option during the deposit process.
