Do you have apps for PC, iOS, or Android?

Yes, we do! And on computers, the platform responds faster in the application for Windows and Mac OS. Why is it faster to trade in the application? The website is slower to update movements on the chart because the browser doesnt use available WebGL capabilities for maximizing the computer’s video card resources. The application doesn’t have this limitation, so it updates the chart almost instantaneously. We also have apps for iOS and Android. You can find and download the applications on our download page.

If a version of the app is not available for your device, you can still trade using the IQ Option website.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How long does it take for the boleto I paid to be credited to my account?

Boletos are processed and credited to your IQ Option account within 2 business days. Please note that we have different boletos, and they usually vary only in the minimum processing time, being 1 hour for fast boletos and 1 day for the other versions. Remember: business days are only from Monday to Friday.

I paid a fast boleto and it didnt come into my account in 24 hours. Why not?

Please note that the maximum processing time for boletos, even the fastest, is 2 business days! Therefore, it means that there is only something potentially wrong if this deadline has expired. It is common for some to be credited quickly and others not. Please just wait! If the deadline has expired, we recommend contacting us via support.

How long does it take for the deposit I made by bank transfer to arrive in my account?

The standard maximum time limit for bank transfers is 2 business days, and it can take less. However, just as some boletos are processed in less time, others may need all the time of the term. The most important thing is to make the transfer on your own account and place a request through the website/app before making the transfer!

Whats this 72-hour error?

This is a new AML (anti-money laundering) system that we have implemented. If you deposit via Boleto, you must wait up to 72 hours before making a withdrawal. Note that the other methods are not impacted by this change.

Can I deposit using someone elses account?

No. All deposit means must belong to you, as well as the ownership of cards, CPF and other data, as stated in our Terms and Conditions.

What if I want to change the currency of my account?

You can only set the currency once, when you make the first deposit attempt.

You will not be able to change the currency of your real trading account, so please make sure you choose the correct one before you click "Proceed to payment".

You can deposit in any currency and it will be automatically converted to the one you chose.

Debit and credit cards. Can I deposit via credit card?

You can use any Visa, Mastercard, or Maestro (with CVV only) debit or credit card to deposit and withdraw money, except for Electron. The card must be valid and registered in your name, and support international online transactions.

How can I unlink my card?

If you want to unlink your card, please click "Unlink Card" right under the "Pay" button when you make your new deposit.

What is 3DS?

The 3-D Secure function is a special method for processing transactions. When you get an SMS notification from your bank for an online transaction, it means that the 3D Secure function is on. If you do not receive an SMS message, contact your bank to enable it.
