Moving money in and out, method by method
This page lists every supported way to fund your QuantarisAI account and every way to withdraw from it, with the type, cost and processing time of each. All methods are ones UK clients already use daily. Platform fees are zero on every row below; anything a third party charges is flagged in the description.
Deposit methods
| Payment method | Type | Fee | Processing time | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PayPal | Digital wallet | Free | Instant | A fast, familiar way to fund a trading account from a UK PayPal balance or a linked card or bank account. After the payment is confirmed the deposit normally reaches the account immediately. |
| Visa | Debit / credit card | Free | Instant | Visa debit and credit cards fund an account in one step. Some issuers add a Visa Secure check before the payment is approved; once approved the funds are normally credited straight away. |
| Mastercard | Debit / credit card | Free | Instant | Mastercard deposits are processed online after the issuer's identity check (Mastercard Identity Check). After approval the deposited amount is generally available on the account immediately. |
| Apple Pay | Mobile wallet | Free | Instant | Apple Pay funds an account from an iPhone or iPad using Face ID, Touch ID or the device passcode. Payments are authenticated by the device and usually complete without delay. |
| Google Pay | Mobile wallet | Free | Instant | Google Pay lets Android users fund an account with a saved card after standard device authentication. Approved payments are processed immediately and normally credit without delay. |
Withdrawal methods
| Payment method | Type | Fee | Processing time | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PayPal | Digital wallet | Free | Within 24 hours | Withdrawals can be sent to the same PayPal account used for deposits. After approval, funds normally appear within 24 hours and can be moved on to a bank account or spent directly. |
| Visa | Debit / credit card | Free | 1–5 business days | Withdrawals can be returned to the same Visa card used to fund the account where the issuing bank supports it. Final settlement depends on the issuer and is normally 1 to 5 business days. |
| Mastercard | Debit / credit card | Free | 1–5 business days | Where the issuer supports it, withdrawals are returned to the original Mastercard. Processing time depends on the issuing bank and is normally 1 to 5 business days. |
Notes that apply to every method
Deposits must come from, and withdrawals must go to, payment methods held in your own name; third-party payments cannot be accepted and are returned, which costs everyone time. Withdrawals require completed identity verification, and a first withdrawal to a new destination passes a routine security check. Requests are reviewed on business days; weekends and UK bank holidays are not business days.
The full rules governing withdrawals, including limits, cancellation and the honest reasons a request can be delayed, are in the withdrawal policy. Costs beyond the platform's control, such as issuer charges or currency conversion by your bank, are described there too.
