The minimum deposit at IQ Option in Pakistan is PRs 3,000 (about $10), and it's the same for every payment method, from Easypaisa and JazzCash to cards, Skrill and crypto. Your first withdrawal each calendar month is free. After that IQ Option charges 2%, never more than PRs 9,000, and minimum withdrawals start at PRs 100.

PRs 3,000 is the smallest deposit the Pakistan account accepts, whichever method you use. IQ Option's own guides give the minimum as $10 or the equivalent in your account currency, and PRs 3,000 is that equivalent.
The deposit form offers preset amounts of PRs 3,000, 6,000, 9,000, 15,000, 30,000, 75,000, 150,000 and 300,000, or you can type your own figure. We found no separate, higher minimum for a first deposit.
IQ Option doesn't charge a fee for depositing. The one cost to watch is currency conversion, covered in section 4.
These are the methods and limits shown on the Pakistan account when we checked in September 2026. Limits can change, so the deposit form is the final word.
| Method | Speed | Minimum | Maximum per deposit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Skrill | Instant | PRs 3,000 | PRs 280,000,000 |
| Mastercard | Instant | PRs 3,000 | PRs 3,186,043 |

| Easypaisa QR | Instant | PRs 3,000 | PRs 50,000 |
| JazzCash | Instant | PRs 3,000 | PRs 23,000 |

| Apple Pay (deposit only) | Instant | PRs 3,000 | PRs 280,000,000 |
| Google Pay (deposit only) | Instant | PRs 3,000 | PRs 280,000,000 |

Two things in that table catch people out later. Apple Pay and Google Pay only work for deposits, so plan how you'll withdraw before you use them. And the mobile wallets have low ceilings: a single Easypaisa deposit tops out at PRs 25,000 and a JazzCash one at PRs 23,000. The QR versions take up to PRs 50,000.
Whatever you pay with has to be in your own name. IQ Option doesn't accept payments from someone else's card or wallet, and money sent that way goes back to where it came from.
If a deposit fails, the usual causes are a wrong 3-D Secure code from your bank, a bank that blocks international online payments, a name that doesn't match your IQ Option account, or an empty country field in your profile. Fix the one that applies and try again.
The mobile wallets take one extra step compared with a card, because part of the payment happens on an outside gateway.
Use the same mobile number your Easypaisa or JazzCash account is registered to. A different number is the most common reason these payments don't go through.
The QR versions work differently. After you enter your phone number and CNIC, you get a QR code with a timer (about 9 minutes for Easypaisa QR). Send exactly the amount shown, not a rupee more or less, or the payment fails.
When you make your first deposit you pick the account currency: PKR, USD, EUR or GBP. Pick PKR. If you deposit or withdraw in a currency that differs from your account currency, IQ Option charges a 4% conversion fee, and with a PKR account and rupee payments that fee never comes up.
The choice is permanent. Once the first deposit goes through, the account currency is locked and can't be changed.
IQ Option says it handles withdrawal requests within 3 business days. After that, how quickly the money reaches you depends on the method. These are the figures from the Pakistan account's withdrawal screen.
| Method | Minimum | Processing time |
|---|---|---|
| Visa / Mastercard | PRs 100 | Instant from IQ Option; your bank can take up to 21 days |
| Volet.com | PRs 260 | 1–24 hours |
| Easypaisa | PRs 600 | 1–3 business days |
| JazzCash | PRs 600 | 1–3 business days |
| Skrill | PRs 600 | 1–24 hours |
| WebMoney WMZ | PRs 600 | 1–24 hours |
| Neteller | PRs 2,620 | 1–24 hours |
| Crypto: USDT, USDC, ETH, LTC, ADA, XRP | PRs 5,400 | 1–24 hours |
| Bitcoin (BTC) | Shown on the withdrawal form | Shown on the withdrawal form |
E-wallets and crypto are the quick routes. Card withdrawals leave IQ Option straight away but go back as a refund, and refunds move at your bank's pace. That's why a card payout can show as sent on IQ Option and still take a couple of weeks to appear on your statement.
IQ Option doesn't set an overall maximum on withdrawals. Payment providers can have their own caps, and IQ Option suggests contacting support before a very large withdrawal.
Your first withdrawal in each calendar month is free, whichever method you use. Every withdrawal after that in the same month costs 2% of the amount, and the fee is capped at PRs 9,000.
For example, in one month:
| Withdrawal | Amount | Fee |
|---|---|---|
| 1st in October | PRs 50,000 | Free |
| 2nd in October | PRs 50,000 | PRs 1,000 (2%) |
| 3rd in October | PRs 600,000 | PRs 9,000 (cap) |
If you can wait, one larger withdrawal a month costs nothing, while several small ones each pay 2%. Your wallet or bank may add its own charges on top, which IQ Option doesn't control.
Your request then goes through three statuses:
The money has left your IQ Option balance.
IQ Option is handling the request.
IQ Option has paid it out, and it's now with your wallet, bank or card issuer.
If the request is still at Requested or In process after 3 business days, contact support. Once it shows Funds sent, any further wait is on the payment provider's side.
Withdrawals go back to the card or wallet you deposited with. Ask for a payout to a different one and the system cancels the request.
Card withdrawals are refunds, so you can only withdraw to a card up to the total you deposited with that card in the last 180 days. Say you deposited PRs 30,000 by Visa and your balance has grown to PRs 45,000. Up to PRs 30,000 can go back to the Visa, and the remaining PRs 15,000 has to go to an e-wallet such as Skrill or Neteller, or by bank transfer. If you expect to withdraw profit, it's worth having an e-wallet set up from the start.
You can't withdraw anything until your account is verified. That means a photo ID (passport or CNIC), proof of address such as a utility bill, and, if you paid by card, verification of that card. IQ Option's terms say checks normally take up to 10 business days and occasionally up to 30, so upload your documents well before you need the money.
If you took a deposit bonus, you have to meet its trading requirement before you can withdraw profit. The two promo codes we list, IQWELCOME and 2026IQ, need a trading volume of 40 times the bonus, and only options trades (Digital, Binary, Blitz) count towards it. Full terms are on our IQ Option promo codes page.
Money left sitting in the account can cost you. If you make no trade and no deposit for 90 days, IQ Option charges an inactivity fee of €10 a month. Logging in doesn't reset the clock; only a trade or a deposit does.
IQ Option doesn't publish a way to cancel a withdrawal yourself, and we couldn't confirm a cancel button on the Pakistan account. If you need to stop one, contact support straight away, while the request still shows Requested. Once it's at Funds sent the money has left IQ Option and can't be pulled back.
Requests can also be cancelled on IQ Option's side, most often because the payout was sent to a method you never deposited with. The money returns to your balance and you can request again using the right method.
Search for IQ Option withdrawals and you'll find forum posts from people who say they couldn't get paid. We can't check individual cases, but most complaints of that kind trace back to one of IQ Option's written rules:
None of that makes the delays less frustrating. But if you verify early, pay only from your own accounts and keep an e-wallet for profits, most of them don't happen.
Yes. Pakistani clients can open an account, hold it in PKR and pay with local wallets like Easypaisa and JazzCash. IQ Option is not registered with Pakistan's Securities and Exchange Commission (SECP), though. Clients in Pakistan are served by Sky Ladder LLC, regulated by the Financial Services Regulatory Commission of Antigua and Barbuda (registration number RA000008).
That's a different arrangement from local SECP oversight, and worth weighing before you deposit. For the full picture of how the platform works, see our IQ Option review.
