Trader’s Takeaways

• The benefits of using Credit/Debit Cards when trading
• A guide for trading using these transaction methods
• OspreyFX – Seamless Withdrawals & Deposits

Credit and Debit cards offer traders a method of payment that allows them to avoid the risks associated with paper money. Moreover, they don’t only provide an alternative to hard cash they offer more freedom while spending.

Credit cards, work as a loan system, where users can pay the amount credited over monthly installments. The downside of this is it’s interest-bearing credit, meaning traders can end up paying high levels of interest back to their provider.

For those traders that aren’t avid credit card users, the option for a debit card is also widely popular. You can easily deposit and withdraw funds from your trading account using an existing bank balance. These methods can be even more secure than funding via credit card as it does not include any interest on the amount deposited.

Transactions with Credit/Debit card offer many benefits for traders. Through step-by-step processes coupled with images and detailed explanations, we gift readers with a quick and easy to understand guide on everything they need to know when depositing and withdrawing via this secure funding method.

There are no fees included to withdraw or deposit your funds via credit or debit card.

Can I Still Trade if I Deposit Less than $50 on OspreyFX?

You can trade with $5, depending on your leverage.

For example, if you have 1:500 leverage you could buy 0.01 lots of GBPUSD at 1.23322 and the trade would cost $2.47 not including commission fees. Whereas if you did the same with leverage of 1:100 it would cost $12.33 (again no commission included).

You would be limited in the instruments that you could trade as some have higher contract sizes or lower leverage. Indices and commodities have lower leverage so you would require more money to open a position.

What is 3D Secure and Why is it Affecting my Deposit by Card?

3D secure is a security protocol that helps to prevent fraud in online credit and debit card transactions.

If you are depositing by card, the payment gateway may ask you for your 3D Secure code.

What is it?

3D Secure stands for 3 Domain Server, there are 3 parties that are involved in the 3D Secure process:

• The company the purchase is being made from.
• The Acquiring Bank (the bank of the company).
• VISA and MasterCard (the card issuers themselves).

The scheme is a collective of Verified by VISA (VBV) and MasterCard Secure Code (MSC).  It is the most recent fraud prevention initiative that is available at the moment.

When using a 3D secure card, you may be, brought to a screen to enter your Master Card Secure Code or your Verified by VISA Code. Some banks will text you to ensure this is a transaction you are making.

Once you complete this 3D secure process you can use the card without any issues.

Contact your bank for any questions about whether your card is 3D Secured and to learn more.
