| Currency | Minimum deposit |
| United States Dollar | 10 |
| Euro | 10 |
| Russian Ruble | 300 |
| British Pound | 20 |
| Malaysian Ringgit | 40 |
| Chinese Yuan | 70 |

| Viatnamese Dong | 200 000 |
| South African Rand | 150 |
| Philippine Peso | 500 |
| Thai Baht | 270 |
The minimum deposits for ZAR (150), PHP (500), and THB (270) all translate to roughly $10 and the minimum trade size with each of these account types is about $1.
Clients from South Africa, the Philippines, and Thailand can now send money to IQ Option without incurring the foreign exchange cost of converting their local currency to dollars, pounds, or euros. Of course, withdrawals are also cheaper because once again there is no currency exchange.
