Payment methods
You can deposit using Visa, MasterCard, Solo/Maestro, Moneybookers and direct bank transfer. We charge a fee of 2.5% on every credit card deposit and a 2% fee for Moneybookers. This will be deducted from your account once the funds have cleared.
Please note that some credit cards will be charged by their bank as a cash advance so we'd strongly recommend Visa Debit or Maestro/Solo if possible.
Contact support@smarkets.com if you would like to deposit via cheque.
