There are two ways to fund your etoro Options account as a UK customer:
- Request a transfer from your etoro Investment account. We will move the funds from your cash available balance in your main etoro account to your etoro Options account.
- Tap the “Transfer from etoro” option on the deposit screen.
- Enter the amount you wish to transfer (make sure it is less than the cash available in your etoro investment account).
- Since both accounts are based in USD there will be no currency conversion required.
- The funds will hit your etoro options account in 1-3 working days. We will notify you when they are available to trade.
- The transfer will appear as a withdrawal in your main etoro investing app. However, there will be no fees applied for this transfer.
- Make an international wire transfer from your UK bank account to etoro Options:
- Tap “Send a wire.”
- Use SWIFT or the international wire transfer option (not SEPA).
- Enter the SWIFT code (BIC) HATRUS44
- If you send the funds in GBP, our clearing partner (Apex) will convert the funds into USD once the funds arrive.
- Wire and currency conversion fees will apply, please see the full fee schedule.

You are responsible for funding your etoro Options account, and etoro BD reserves the right not to execute any options purchases for you unless you have deposited adequate US dollars ($50 minimum) into your account. etoro Options accounts should not be funded using credit cards.
