Step-by-Step Deposit Process
Accessing the Deposit Section
Log in to your Exness Personal Area using your registered email and password. From the dashboard, navigate to the ‘Deposit’ tab. If you have multiple trading accounts, select the target account from the dropdown menu. The deposit interface will show payment methods applicable for Sri Lanka along with their limits and processing times. Currency conversion rates refresh in real time during deposit entry.
Completing Payment Information
Choose your preferred payment method and input the deposit amount in USD or LKR. The platform automatically converts amounts based on current forex rates. Verify the amount and any fees before proceeding. For card payments, enter CVV and complete 3D Secure authentication if prompted. Bank transfers require accurate beneficiary details including SWIFT codes and account numbers. Confirm the payment and save your transaction reference for future tracking.
Account Verification Requirements
To enable withdrawals, Sri Lankan traders must verify their identity. Acceptable documents include National Identity Card, passport, or driving license. Proof of address must be dated within the last three months and can include utility bills or bank statements. All documents should be clear and show all edges. Translations are accepted if documents are not in English or Sinhala.
Verification speeds average 24 hours on business days. Higher verification levels unlock larger deposit and withdrawal limits. We may request additional documents for enhanced checks depending on account activity.
| Verification Level | Deposit Limit | Withdrawal Limit | Processing Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Unverified | $2,000 | $0 | N/A |
| Basic Verified | $50,000 | $20,000 | 24 hours |
| Fully Verified | Unlimited | Unlimited | Same day |
Currency Considerations for Sri Lankan Traders
Account Base Currency Selection
When creating a trading account, select your base currency carefully. Common options include USD and EUR, with USD preferred by most Sri Lankan clients for its liquidity. Once set, base currency cannot be changed. Deposits in LKR are converted automatically to the account currency using current exchange rates with a small markup.
Exchange Rate Calculations
Exchange rates update every few seconds reflecting global forex markets. The platform displays exact converted amounts before confirming deposits or withdrawals. Currency fluctuations can affect deposit values, especially during weekends or major economic events. We recommend planning larger deposits during periods of stable LKR market conditions.
Deposit Limits and Restrictions
Minimum Deposit Thresholds
Minimum deposit amounts vary by account type and trading instruments. Standard accounts support small deposits suitable for beginners. Professional and Raw Spread accounts require larger minimum deposits aligning with advanced trading tools and conditions. Cent accounts allow fractional lot trading, enabling smaller position sizes with lower funding requirements.
Maximum Deposit Allowances
Deposit limits depend on payment method and verification level. Unverified accounts have lower daily deposit ceilings. Verified accounts enjoy higher or unlimited limits. Exness reviews deposit limits periodically based on account activity and compliance standards.

Fees and Processing Times
Deposit processing durations vary by method and Sri Lankan bank policies. Exness does not charge deposit fees, but third-party providers may apply charges. Card payments are instant but may incur 2-4% bank fees. E-wallet deposits complete within minutes with 1-2% fees. Bank transfers take 1-3 business days but offer lower percentage fees for larger amounts.
| Payment Method | Our Fees | Processing Time | Third-Party Fees |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bank Cards | Free | Instant | 2-4% (bank fees) |
| Bank Transfer | Free | 1-3 days | $15-25 (bank fees) |
| Skrill/Neteller | Free | Instant | 1-2% (e-wallet fees) |

Fee Optimization Strategies
For small deposits, e-wallets minimize fees effectively. Large deposits benefit from bank transfers despite longer processing times. Combining smaller deposits into fewer larger transactions reduces percentage-based fees. Depositing during Sri Lankan banking hours can speed up bank-related transactions.
Troubleshooting Common Deposit Issues
Deposits may fail due to insufficient funds, expired cards, or incorrect payment details. Confirm all information before retrying. Some Sri Lankan banks block international payments by default; contact your bank to enable them. Currency restrictions may affect payment method availability. Switch to alternate methods if errors persist.
Our support team is available 24/7 through live chat and ticket systems. Keep deposit confirmation details handy for faster issue resolution. Typical problems resolve within hours once proper information is provided.
| Common Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| Card declined | Confirm international payments enabled with bank |
