Deposit Requirements by Account Type
FxPro offers multiple account types across MT4, MT5, and cTrader platforms. Each carries different spread structures and leverage conditions. The table below shows the practical entry points alongside key trading specs.
| Account Type | Platform | Practical Min. Deposit | Min. Spread | Leverage (Max) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MT4 Standard (Floating) | MT4 | ~$10-$20 | From 0.6 pips | Up to 1:200 |
| MT4 Instant | MT4 | ~$10-$20 | From $10 (fixed) | Up to 1:200 |
| MT4 Fixed | MT4 | ~$10-$20 | From $5 (fixed) | Up to 1:200 |
| MT5 | MT5 | ~$10-$20 | From $5 | Up to 1:200 |
| cTrader | cTrader | ~$10-$20 | From $3 | Up to 1:200 |
| Raw+ | MT4/MT5 | $500 | Near-raw | Up to 1:200 |
| Elite | MT4/MT5 | $30,000 | Tight | Up to 1:200 |
Standard account types carry no fixed broker-imposed minimum. Traders typically start with $10-$20, depending on the payment method selected. The Raw+ and Elite accounts target higher-volume traders and carry explicit deposit thresholds.
What $100 Gets You in Practice
A $100 deposit (approximately TZS 260,000 at mid-2025 rates) covers a micro-lot position on a major pair. At 1:30 leverage, a single micro-lot on EUR/USD requires roughly $33 in margin. At 1:200, that same position requires under $5. The balance available after margin determines how much drawdown the account can absorb before a margin call.
Cent Accounts
FxPro does not offer cent accounts. Traders seeking sub-dollar position sizing must use micro-lots on standard accounts instead.
Deposit Methods Available in Tanzania
FxPro charges zero deposit fees. Third-party providers – banks, card networks, and e-wallets – may apply their own charges, typically 1-3% for card transactions.
| Method | Practical Min. | Processing Time | Fees (FxPro Side) | Tanzania Availability |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Visa / Mastercard | ~$10-$20 | ~10 minutes | 0% | Yes |
| Bank Wire Transfer | ~$10-$20 | 1-5 business days | 0% | Yes |
| Skrill | ~$10-$20 | Instant | 0% | Yes (select entities) |
| Neteller | ~$10-$20 | Instant | 0% | Yes (select entities) |
| PayPal | ~$10-$20 | Instant | 0% | Yes (FxPro Financial Services Ltd) |
| Bitcoin / Ethereum | Varies | ~10 minutes | 0% | Limited |
| Tether (USDT) | Varies | ~10 minutes | 0% | Limited |
| Perfect Money | Varies | ~10 minutes | 0% | Limited |
Method availability depends on the FxPro entity assigned to the account. Log into FxPro Direct to see the exact options for your jurisdiction. Tanzanian shilling (TZS) is not a supported account currency. Deposits must be made in a supported base currency, with conversion handled externally before transfer.
Payment Method Notes
Visa and Mastercard issued by Tanzanian banks (CRDB, NMB, Stanbic) are compatible with FxPro card deposits. Bank wire transfers from local banks are accepted but carry longer processing windows. Skrill and Neteller offer instant crediting and are accessible to Tanzanian residents with verified e-wallet accounts.
How to Make Your First Deposit
The process applies to all account types. Complete account verification before attempting a deposit – unverified accounts cannot receive funds.
1. Register a live account at FxPro.com and complete KYC verification.
2. Upload proof of identity (passport or national ID) and proof of address (utility bill or bank statement, issued within 3 months).
3. Log in to FxPro Direct or the FxPro mobile app.
4. Navigate to the Wallet section and select "Deposit."
5. Choose a payment method from the available options.
6. Enter the deposit amount in your chosen currency.
7. Confirm the transaction. Funds appear in the FxPro Wallet within the method’s processing window.
8. Transfer funds from the Wallet to the specific trading account (MT4, MT5, or cTrader). Internal transfers are instant.
Verification Timeline
KYC review typically takes 24 hours to one week. FxPro support responds within approximately 24 hours via live chat or email. Submitting clear, readable documents reduces processing delays.
Currency Conversion and Base Currency Options
TZS is not a supported account currency. All FxPro accounts must be denominated in one of the following:
- USD (US Dollar)
- EUR (Euro)
- GBP (British Pound)
- CHF (Swiss Franc)
- JPY (Japanese Yen)
- AUD (Australian Dollar)
- ZAR (South African Rand)
- PLN (Polish Zloty)
Avoiding Conversion Costs
Select the base currency that matches the currency of the deposit method. A Tanzanian trader depositing via a USD-denominated card should open a USD wallet. Mismatched currencies trigger automatic conversion at the provider’s exchange rate, adding a spread cost of typically 1-3%. ZAR is the closest regional option for East African traders, though USD is the most liquid and widely used base currency on the platform.
FxPro does not charge internal conversion fees, but the rate applied at deposit reflects the live interbank rate with a small markup from the payment provider. Confirm the rate before confirming large transfers.
Withdrawal Basics
FxPro charges zero withdrawal fees from its side. E-wallet providers may apply fees if the account has no recent trading activity.
| Method | Processing Time | Min. Withdrawal | Fee (FxPro Side) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Visa / Mastercard | 1-5 business days | No fixed minimum | 0% |
| Bank Wire Transfer | 1-3 business days | No fixed minimum | 0% |
| Skrill | Instant to 1 business day | No fixed minimum | 0% |
| Neteller | Instant to 1 business day | No fixed minimum | 0% |
| PayPal | Instant to 1 business day | No fixed minimum | 0% |
Withdrawals must use the same method as the original deposit (anti-money laundering requirement). Initiate withdrawals from FxPro Direct: transfer funds from the trading account to the Wallet, then select "Withdrawal" and confirm the destination details.
Regulation and Account Safety
FxPro operates under multiple regulatory licenses. Tanzanian traders access the platform through internationally regulated entities.
- FCA (UK) – FxPro UK Ltd
- CySEC (Cyprus) – FxPro Financial Services Ltd
- FSCA (South Africa) – FxPro Global Markets Ltd
- ASIC (Australia)
- DFSA (UAE)
- SCB (Bahamas)
No local Bank of Tanzania regulation applies. Client funds are held in segregated accounts, separate from company operating capital. The applicable entity depends on the registration country assigned during account opening.
The FxPro Minimum Deposit requirement at the broker level is zero – what determines the actual entry point is the payment method and the account type selected.
FAQ
Does FxPro require a minimum deposit to open a live account in Tanzania?
FxPro does not impose a mandatory minimum deposit at the broker level. In practice, the minimum is determined by the payment method selected, and many traders begin with as little as $10-$20 on a Standard account.
Can Tanzanian traders deposit in Tanzanian Shilling (TZS)?
No. FxPro does not support TZS as an account currency. Deposits must be made in a supported currency such as USD, EUR, GBP, or ZAR. Any TZS conversion must be handled externally before the transfer is initiated.
Which deposit method is fastest for traders in Tanzania?
Visa/Mastercard, Skrill, and Neteller all credit funds within approximately 10 minutes. Bank wire transfers from Tanzanian banks take 1-5 business days. E-wallets are the faster option for those with verified accounts.
Is the $100 figure an official FxPro minimum deposit requirement?
No. FxPro states no fixed minimum deposit for standard accounts. The $100 figure appears in third-party reviews as a commonly cited practical threshold, but traders can start with smaller amounts depending on the payment method’s own limits.
What happens if the deposit currency does not match the account base currency?
FxPro applies an automatic conversion at the live interbank rate, typically with a small markup from the payment provider. To avoid this cost, select a base currency that matches the currency of the deposit method.
Can Tanzanian traders withdraw using the same local bank used for deposits?
Yes, provided the bank account was used for the original deposit. FxPro requires withdrawals to return to the same funding source under anti-money laundering rules. Processing takes 1-3 business days for bank wire transfers.
Does FxPro offer cent accounts for small-balance traders in Tanzania?
No. FxPro does not offer cent accounts on any platform. Traders with smaller balances can use micro-lots on Standard accounts to manage position size and risk without a cent account structure.
