Step-by-Step Deposit Process for Malta Residents

Accessing the Deposit Section

Log into your FP Markets account using your username and password. Navigate to the “My Account” tab situated in the top-right corner. Click on “Deposit Funds” to open the deposit interface designed for Malta clients. The interface presents all available deposit options along with processing times and any fees applicable. Choose your preferred payment method to proceed with funding your trading account.

Bank Transfer Deposits via SEPA

Select “Bank Transfer” and the system will generate a unique Malta-based IBAN (starting with MT84) and payment reference. Copy these details precisely to ensure correct processing.

Deposits typically clear within 1 to 3 business days. Upon receipt, funds are credited automatically to your trading account.

Card Deposits for Instant Funding

Choose “Credit/Debit Card” as your payment method. Enter your card number, expiry date, and security code. All card details transmit securely using 256-bit SSL encryption. Specify the amount in EUR or GBP, and review any fees shown before confirming. Accepted cards include Visa, Mastercard, and Maestro from Maltese issuers. Deposits appear instantly in your balance with confirmation sent via email and SMS.

Withdrawal Methods and Processing Times

Withdrawal requests are handled during Malta business hours, from 9:00 to 17:00 CET. We provide the same withdrawal options as deposits to comply with anti-money laundering rules. Requests over €2,000 require identity verification before processing. The withdrawal portal displays your available balance and any pending requests. Withdrawals are typically processed within 24 hours; additional time may be needed depending on your bank.

Verification Requirements for Malta Traders

Identity Documentation Process

Verification begins by submitting government-issued photo ID, such as a Maltese ID card, EU passport, or valid driving licence. Uploaded documents must be clear, fully visible, and issued within the past ten years. Additionally, provide proof of residency with a recent utility bill or bank statement dated within three months showing your Maltese address and full name.

Enhanced Verification for Higher Limits

For withdrawal limits exceeding €10,000 daily, submit recent bank statements from your Malta account covering the last three months. Proof of income such as salary slips must also be uploaded. Verification typically completes within 2 to 4 business days. Once approved, the account gains access to increased withdrawal limits and expedited processing.
