In order to protect all parties against fraud, FXCM will, in most circumstances, only pay funds back to the source of the original deposit. If you funded your account by debit or credit card, we will pay funds back to that card – you will normally receive the credit on your account within three business days.

In some exceptional circumstances, we may pay some or all of the funds to your bank account. In these cases, we may request documentation additional to any already provided, before any payment can be made. This may include a copy of a recent bank statement or utility bill. We will contact you if this is the case.

We will confirm the payment method to you by an email sent to the email address in our records, so you will know when the payment is processed and when to expect the funds.

Please remember that we will be unable to make bank transfers when there is a bank holiday local to the bank used to hold deposits in each of our base currencies offered to our customers.

Top
I have an account with HSBC. Can I use their online transfer or bill payment service to fund my FXCM account?
FXCM does not recommend using an online transfer or bill payment service as a form of deposit due to the likelihood that the funds may arrive at FXCM with insufficient account details. If funds are received in this method, FXCM may request additional documentation to verify ownership of funds (such as a bank statement showing the transaction).
Top
Can I visit my local HSBC branch and use an ATM or ask the teller to deposit funds directly into your account?
No. ATM or Bank Branch Deposits are typically received by FXCM without any information with regard to the account or individual from whom the payment originated. If such deposits are received, FXCM will require additional documents for proof of ownership or the funds will be returned. Please note that FXCM can neither guarantee the receipt, nor the return of such payments. Branch deposits may be held for up to thirty days or longer before being released as part of our due diligence process.

What types of cheques are accepted?
  • FXCM accepts official bank drafts and personal cheques denominated in GBP only. All GBP cheques must be drawn on a UK bank.
  • Personal cheques must go through the normal bank clearing system before they can be credited to your FXCM trading account. As a result, it takes 5 business days for the funds to be deposited into your trading account. Official bank drafts are usually credited into your trading account within 1 business day.
  • Bank drafts must have the remitter's name pre-printed by the issuing bank on the face of the cheque. The remitter name must be the same as the FXCM account holder. Please also indicate the appropriate trading account number on the back of the cheque to expedite processing.
  • Personal cheques must be drawn from a bank account in the FXCM trading account holder's name.
  • Cheques from joint chequing accounts may be deposited into either chequing account owner's FXCM trading account.
