Bank Transfer Options
Pakistani clients may deposit funds via local bank transfers utilizing major banks like HBL, UBL, MCB, and Allied Bank. Transfers typically complete within 2 to 3 business days after confirmation. The minimum deposit remains $25 USD, although banks may impose additional international transfer fees. We suggest verifying any charges with your bank before initiating your deposit.

Processing fees from e-wallet providers are generally minimal, making them efficient for smaller deposits.

Currency Conversion and Exchange Rates
USD Base Currency Requirements
All trading accounts on our platform use USD as the base currency regardless of payment method. When depositing PKR, the system converts the local currency to USD using current market rates. This conversion includes a small spread to cover exchange costs. Before completing your deposit, the exact exchange rate and resulting USD amount appear for your review.
Managing Currency Fluctuations
Fluctuations between PKR and USD can impact the final deposited amount in USD. Pakistani traders should monitor exchange rates to optimize deposit timing. Depositing larger sums when the exchange rate is favorable increases your available trading capital. Current conversion rates are visible anytime in your account dashboard to assist with planning.
Factors Affecting Conversion
Currency conversion rates depend on:
- Market volatility
- Bank or e-wallet fees
- Processing time delays
- Spread applied by OctaFX
| Currency | Exchange Rate (Approx.) | Spread | Effective Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| PKR to USD | 0.0036 | 0.0001 | 0.0035 – 0.0037 |
