| Withdrawal time | Most e-wallet and crypto withdrawals process within 24 hours; bank wire withdrawals take longer and can carry a fee where FXGT itself doesn't cover it. | E-wallet withdrawals are typically processed the same day; bank wire withdrawals take 2-5 business days. |
| Fees | FXGT does not charge its own deposit fee and covers most withdrawal methods, though bank wire withdrawals can still carry a charge. An inactivity fee applies after roughly three months of dormancy, reported inconsistently across sources as either a one-time charge followed by a smaller monthly fee, or a single flat charge, worth confirming directly before leaving an account untouched. | Vantage does not charge a fee on deposits or the first international bank withdrawal each month; subsequent bank withdrawals in the same month carry a flat 20-unit charge in the account's base currency. An inactivity fee of around $20/month has been reported after 90 days without trading, though this is inconsistent across sources and worth confirming directly. |
