Deposits requiring a currency conversion

Our standard FX conversion fee is 0.5% which is added to the best available exchange rate provided from several banks. To add our FX conversion fee, we multiply the underlying exchange rate by 1.005 before converting.

Example

Say you deposit $1,000 from a USD denominated bank account into your spread bet account which has a base currency of sterling, and the GBP/USD exchange rate is 1.3911*.

To add our FX conversion fee, we would multiply the exchange rate by 1.005 resulting in a conversion rate of 1.3981.

After conversion, your account would be credited with $1,000 / 1.3981 = £715.26

To work out the FX conversion fee in sterling:

£715.26 x 0.5% = £3.55

*All the examples are for illustrative purposes only. Please check the costs and charges before trading. Figures may not add up to a given total due to rounding.
