How long does a forex broker withdrawal take?

What is the best forex broker in Europe in 2026?

Our editorial team's top pick for EU traders in 2026 is Pepperstone (9.4/10), followed by IG (9.2/10) and XM (8.7/10). Pepperstone wins on its multi-regulator coverage (CySEC 388/20 for EU/EEA clients, plus FCA, BaFin and ASIC across the group), a zero minimum deposit and raw 0.0-pip spreads. IG offers the broadest market coverage with 17,000+ instruments. XM adds CySEC cover and strong education. Exness, though highly rated globally, closed EU/EEA retail onboarding in 2019 and does not accept EU residents, so it is excluded from EU shortlists.

What is the cheapest forex broker in Europe?

The cheapest forex brokers in Europe for EUR/USD are Tickmill via its Raw account (0.0 pip raw spread + $6 round-turn) and Pepperstone via its Razor account (0.0 pip raw spread + $7 round-turn). Both onboard EU clients under EU regulation with ICF or EdW compensation. Exness quotes comparable raw pricing globally but closed EU/EEA retail onboarding in 2019, so it is not an option for EU residents.

How do I deposit funds to a forex broker?

EU brokers accept SEPA bank transfer, debit/credit card (Visa, Mastercard), Skrill, Neteller, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and sometimes PayPal. SEPA transfers take 0-2 business days; cards and e-wallets are typically instant. Brokers cannot accept third-party deposits — funds must come from an account in the trader name.

Which forex broker has the fastest withdrawal in 2026?

Exness offers instant 24/7 withdrawals via card, e-wallets, and crypto — unique in the industry. Most major brokers (Pepperstone, IG, Saxo) process within 1-2 business days for card/bank, 4-24 hours for e-wallets. Withdrawals are typically slower than deposits because of mandatory AML checks on outgoing funds.

Which forex brokers accept Skrill deposits in 2026?

As of 24 September 2026, 18 of the 22 EU/UK-regulated brokers we list for EU and UK clients show Skrill, including Pepperstone, XTB, eToro, Tickmill, FxPro, IC Markets, AvaTrade and Plus500. IG, Saxo Bank, Swissquote and Interactive Brokers do not. Fees are set by each broker and by Skrill; check the broker’s funding page before depositing.

Skrill vs bank wire for forex broker deposits — which is better?

Skrill is faster (instant vs 1-3 days SEPA) but typically charges a 1% transfer fee from your card and a 3.99% FX conversion fee if currencies don't match. Bank wire is free or near-free on SEPA but slower. For amounts above EUR 1,000, bank wire usually wins on total cost; for sub-EUR 500 quick top-ups, Skrill wins.
