Tickmill Deposit and Withdrawal: a Step-by-Step Guide



Dec 25, 2022  
Tickmill deposit and withdrawal currently rely on nine types of payment methods, including bank transfer, cards, crypto payment, and e-payment.

Tickmill is a leading retail forex broker with a proven track record since 2014. They own licenses from several authorities, including the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and the Seychelles Financial Services Authority (FSA). 

Along the years, Tickmill gained popularity among traders mainly due to its low-cost trading environment. Still, ease of access to our own funds is an important point to measure the credibility of any brokerage company. As such, the article will discuss all the key information you need to know about Tickmill deposit and withdrawal.

 

How Do I Deposit Money to Tickmill?

You can make a deposit within your Client Area by choosing the best funding option for you. Follow the steps below:

1. Prepare your funds. The minimum deposit on Tickmill varies, starting at $100 for Classic and Pro accounts.

2. Log in to your Client Area through Tickmill homepage. The first feature you see is your Wallet. A newly opened account's wallet has zero balance and "deposit" button in red.

3. Click on "deposit" option in the Wallet window, and you will be redirected to another page where you can proceed to choose your preferred payment method through a pop-up. Payment choices and availability may differ depending on your country of origin. The most favorable are electronic payments and local bank transfers, but you can choose other options too.

4. Subsequently, you have to fill in the rest of the form, particularly the amount of funds and currency. You may not fill in the "Additional Comment" as long as it is not required. Make sure that all the details are correct. Don't forget to check all the boxes, and then click "Confirm".

5. You will then be redirected to a third-party service provider (payment gateway) to complete your payment. Procedures on the gateway may differ depending on your preferred payment method, but you can simply follow along with the steps shown on your screen.

6. Your deposit will appear in your Wallet within minutes upon completion, or up to 1 business day. Otherwise, something might happen somewhere along the way and you need to contact Tickmill help desk to clear it up.

7. You cannot trade directly using the funds in your Wallet. You have to first transfer them to your account by clicking on the "Transfer" option on the Wallet area. In the subsequent Transfer window, enter the amount of funds and choose which Tickmill real account you wish to trade with. Lastly, click "Confirm".

8. Your funds will finally be ready in your account within seconds.

It is important to note that Tickmill deposits are free of charge. Nevertheless, your chosen payment method may apply its own fees.

 

How Do I Withdraw Funds from Tickmill?

Tickmill generally only processes withdrawals back to the same payment method you used for deposits. Here's the step-by-step guide to withdraw your money from Tickmill:

1. Make sure that you don't have any open trades before initiating withdrawal requests.

2. Log in to your Client Area, and then go to the "Trading Account" menu.

3. You cannot directly withdraw funds from your trading account. You have to first transfer the funds from your Trading Account area to your Wallet. It will be transferred within seconds.

4. If your Wallet's available balance exceeds the minimum withdrawal requirement, you can proceed. Click "Withdraw" option on your Wallet, then input the amount you want to cash out and your payment method in the following window.

Tickmill currently requires a $25 minimum withdrawal and has a zero-charge policy on all payments. However, your chosen payment method may charge its own fees, and you have to calculate them too.

How long will it take for funds to be transferred from Tickmill to our bank account? Tickmill pledges to handle all withdrawal requests within a single business day. However, the time needed for the funds to arrive will depend on your chosen payment method. It may take 3–7 working days for bank withdrawals to appear on a client's account, while withdrawals made using a credit or debit card may need up to 8 working days.

Classic and Pro accounts require a $100 minimum deposit. But you must accumulate a balance of at least $50,000 to qualify for a VIP account. What is the difference between Classic and Pro with a VIP account and are there any advantages of being a Tickmill VIP account? And If my residence status at European country, I guess I get default currency of EUR, right? Can I exchange my currency for dollars or Pound?

@Cryuff:Great questions! Here are detailed answers: What is the difference between Classic and Pro with a VIP account and what are the advantages of being a Tickmill VIP account holder? Tickmill offers three types of accounts - Classic, Pro, and VIP - each with different features and requirements. The Classic and Pro accounts require a minimum deposit of $100, while the VIP account requires a minimum balance of $50,000. One of the main differences between Classic and Pro accounts with a VIP account is the level of access to Tickmill's trading platforms, products, and services. VIP account holders enjoy the highest level of priority in terms of customer support, faster execution speeds, and reduced trading costs in the form of lower spreads and commissions. In addition, VIP account holders have access to exclusive trading tools and resources such as personalized market insights, custom technical analysis reports, and advanced trading education. VIP account holders also receive special invitations to Tickmill's exclusive events and workshops, providing networking opportunities with other high-net-worth traders. If my residence status is in a European country, I guess I get the default currency of EUR, right? Can I exchange my currency for dollars or Pounds? Yes, if your residence status is in a European country, the default currency for your account with Tickmill will be Euro (EUR). However, you can exchange your currency for other currencies like US Dollars or British Pounds using Tickmill's currency exchange services. The exchange rates will be based on the prevailing market rates at the time of conversion, and there may be additional fees or charges depending on the size and frequency of the transactions. It's always best to check with Tickmill's customer support team for more information on the currency exchange process and any associated fees.

The main difference between Classic and Pro with a VIP account is the spreads and commissions you get. Traders who choose a Tickmill VIP account must hold a minimum balance of $50,000, but still have access to commissions as low as $1 per standard lot (100,000 units) or $2 per round turn (RT). Also, the effective spread after commission drops to 0.27 pips. Pro accounts are available with a deposit of as little as $100, but the commission is doubled to $4 per standard lot per round turn. This is a huge advantage for VIP traders with huge amounts of money. On the other hand, it is not very friendly to other traders. What does withdrawal mean in terms of base currency? I think you can safely change the currency to USD and GBP.

Maoricio: I have checked the website and I found that have an ECN account, I mean I am not familiar about the forex term and really dont have any idea what is the difference between standard, pro, with ECN. You have said about VIP account and I understand about that. But about ECN, I have seen no difference between this account and standard/pro account. What makes different only scalping and hedging is not allowed meanwhile at standard account, hedging is allowed.

Anthony : First, you need to know the purpose of your ECN account. An ECN or Electronic Communications Network (ECN) is a computerized system that automatically matches orders to buy and sell securities on the market. ECN trading is especially useful when investors in different regions want to complete secure transactions without using third parties. ECN connects major brokers and individual traders so that they can trade directly with each other without intermediaries. It also allows investors in different geographical locations to trade with each other quickly and easily. An ECN is a computerized system that displays the best available bid and ask prices from multiple market participants and automatically matches and executes orders. In addition to facilitating trading on major exchanges during market hours, it is also used for after-hours trading and forex trading. ECN enables automated trading, passive order matching and fast execution. In conclusion, ECN have special feature that you can see other trader's order and you can counter their trader or follow their trade. And also it can make faster execution than other account and also it can mapping the market more specified. Why scalping and hedging is not allowed? It is broker's regulation and we can't do anything about it.

Anthony: As additional information, ECN accounts are very special. Here are some things to consider when choosing an ECN account
  • An electronic communication network (ECN) is a digital system that connects buyers and sellers who want to trade securities in the financial markets.
  • ECN allows brokers and investors from different regions to trade without the involvement of third parties, providing privacy to investors.
  • ECN enables trading after traditional trading hours, allowing investors to react and anticipate news after hours.
  • One of the drawbacks of using ECN is that they charge access fees and fees, which can skyrocket your total usage charges.
  • Without ECN, it takes much longer for buyers and sellers to match, making it more difficult to enter and exit positions, increasing the cost and risk of trading.
What is the actual deposit that you required to trade with ECN? I think $100 is not enough, but one thing that I am pretty sure about trade with ECN. You need to be pro or experienced at trading forex.

I am actually a beginner trader, I have never tried a real deposit, it costs me to try a demo account to increase my understanding of trading. as a trader I definitely expect the minimum possible costs included in deposits and withdrawals. At Tickmill they offer a free funding process, you yeah I really like it.
I usually prefer to deposit using a credit card, and yes it turns out that Tickmill provides this method. But are there certain requirements that I might have to pay attention to in this deposit process?

Patricia

Jan 25 2023

Grace: hello guys, I'll help answer okay with regards to things that are usually needed, maybe this can be used as proof that this transaction is real. I think if you really like this funding process, there are a few things you might have to prepare if you deposit with a Tickmill broker, namely the first, you are usually asked for a scan/color copy of both sides of your card, this is usually to make it safer and avoid fraud anyway.
then don't forget, the signature on the card must be photographed clearly so that the deposit process is also safe and fast. I think that's all, the important thing is that the photo of the credit card is clear.

Steven

Jan 25 2023

Grace: actually Tickmill only needs one piece of evidence, namely a scan of the card from all sides, but remember it has to be clear. well, but there are a few things you should pay attention to when you want to send a scan of your card photo, namely:

  • sometimes Tickmill also doesn't ask for scanned proof of this card, so if you're not asked for proof of this scan, don't send it, okay, a photo of your card.
  • if you are asked to scan the cotton, the number on the front side of the card is edited blurry, except for the last 3-4 digits. then on the back side of the card it's adit blur, yes the CVV code. this is for security purposes ok..

That's all in my opinion, please remember to be careful when sending a scan of your card, I'm afraid there will be misuse.

hello friends, I'm a new user on Tickmil. At first, I had actually tried it at a broker, but I was not suitable because it was limited to stock trading instruments. why stock? because so far in the world of trading I'm still only interested in stocks, for other instruments, let's wait.
even though I already have experience in trading, I can still be said to be a beginner because it's still about 3 months to start, huh...
OK, now at Tickmill, we are given convenience in depositing, right? No fees and maybe it's also not complicated. but why can't when I want to make a deposit with a debit card? it always fails. is there another reason or what? please explain, if anyone knows that.

Georgino

Jan 25 2023

Gabriell: actually if there is a case like you are a crow in depositing at Tickmill, and yes if you have tried several times. try to check some of these things

  • try to see your debit card number, is it appropriate or not. maybe there is an error in the input number.
  • Also try to check whether your debit card is still valid for use.
  • or you can also check the funds in your account, maybe they are not enough or the payment method you choose may apply their own fees, so the funds are not enough.
  • Another method that I recommend, if you still can't, is to choose another method available on your trading account.

I hope the methods that I have described can help solve your funding problem...

debit card? I don't think debit cards are the best option for deposits and also credit cards. I had a similar experience with credit cards, and I think the procedure to pay with credit card and debit card is same.

So, I checked the card number, CVV code, cardholder name and even the expiration date multiple times. Everything checked for twice, but still the payment card deposit failed. From my experience, believe it or not, payment cards are very complicated for me and making a successful deposit is difficult. You have to wait 14 days, but I recommend using a transfer bank. But if you have an e-wallet like Fasapay (I really like Fasapay because it accepts any broker), I recommend you use it too.

What's the best feature of the TickMill Premium Account? That means you have to deposit $50,000. And what do I get with this account? While the other account only requires $100. This means that premium accounts have special features not available on other accounts.

And about the payment options itself. For example, even if you deposit $100 or $1000, you can use payment cards, banks, or other methods such as Fasapay. But let's say you actually deposited $50,000. Of course, the payment card cannot process the payment due to higher amount of money. What are the best deposit options for a $50,000 bank transfer? My opinion is that you need to deposit fast, and transfer bank is slow to process. 

Soriano

Feb 8 2023

Herald: No, in my experience you should use wire transfer because $50,000 is still a large amount and bank is the only safest way to wire transfer. I mean, any money worth $50,000 requires a transfer bank, meanwhile, the other payment options, for example Fasapay it only offers a limit of $25,000 to transfer.

Meanwhile, the TickMill Premium Account, a highly competitive "VIP" Account, puts the broker in first place overall in commissions and fees again for 2023. More features you can received with a VIP Account is a discount and/or rebate. But withdrawing of VIP's account is that you need to maintain $50,000 to receive competitive spread and commissions.

Hey, have you ever had a problem where the account bank you registered with Tickmill was banned from the bank for a while because your passbook was stolen?

I have the problem like that. So, it began when I got robbed and lost my ID, bankbook and cards. So I started asking the bank to block my bank account to secure the money. It was successful, but it will take some time to restore the account. The problem is that I forgot that I have withdrawn from Tickmill, but because the process took a long time make the funds have not arrived yet. My question is, can my money that hasn't arrived can rebound back to the Tickmill account? I'm afraid if the withdrawal fails, my money will disappear there too!

Ternier

Ricky: You need to contact TickMill customer service. By money transfer, as far as I know, when a withdrawal fails, it goes back to your account but the fees collected will be reduced to your funds. Likewise, when you transfer USD to your country, for example, Australia, the exchange rate will apply on the date of the transfer.

But in case of failure, the rate will be according to the date of the failed transfer. So, it will reduce your deposit. For example, if the current rate is $1 = $1.20 AUD, you withdraw $100, so the amount of AUD you will receive is 120 AUD. But the next day you withdraw unsuccessfully, 120 AUD is transferred to your account along with USD, the exchange rate that day is 1$ = 1.50 AUD, with USD you only get 80$. And this quantity does not include the fee.

So, your money will be refunded but it will be reduced.

A lot of traders have advised me to use the same method for both depositing and withdrawing funds because most brokers do not allow different payment methods. They also mentioned something about regulations and the need to avoid money laundering. Since then, I've been careful in ing my payment option. I want a payment method that is fast and inexpensive, and I prefer not to use e-wallets because I want my money to go directly to my bank account.

After reading the article, I noticed that many of the comments in the section talked about using credit cards for withdrawals. Some people said it works, while others said it doesn't. I was wondering if withdrawing with a credit card means the money can be directly deposited into my bank account, and whether it's a fast and inexpensive option.

Robert

Apr 24 2023

@motinho: Hey There! Using the same method for both depositing and withdrawing funds is a common practice in the trading industry and is often recommended by traders to avoid any issues related to anti-money laundering regulations. Most brokers do not allow different payment methods for deposits and withdrawals, as this can create confusion and make it difficult to verify the source of funds.

When it comes to withdrawing funds, credit cards can be a viable option for some traders. However, whether or not the money can be directly deposited into your bank account depends on the broker and the credit card issuer. In some cases, the funds may be deposited into your credit card account, and you will need to transfer the money to your bank account separately. It's important to check with your broker and credit card issuer for specific details on their withdrawal process.

In terms of speed and cost, credit card withdrawals can be relatively fast, with processing times ranging from a few hours to several business days, depending on the broker and the credit card issuer. However, some brokers may charge additional fees for credit card withdrawals, so it's important to check with your broker for details on any potential costs.

Aside from credit cards, there are other payment methods that can meet your criteria of being fast, inexpensive, and allowing direct deposit into your bank account. These include bank transfers and online payment platforms such as PayPal and Skrill. It's important to consider the processing times, fees, and other factors when choosing a payment method that best suits your needs.

What are the various deposit and withdrawal methods available to Tickmill clients, and how does the broker ensure the safety and security of these transactions? Additionally, how does Tickmill handle currency conversions and associated fees for these transactions? Can you provide a detailed explanation of the deposit and withdrawal process, including any minimum or maximum amounts, processing times, and any relevant fees or charges? Finally, how does Tickmill's deposit and withdrawal process compare to other brokers in terms of convenience, reliability, and cost-effectiveness, and what steps does the broker take to continuously improve its services in this regard?

Hengky

@Sobahan Ali Reza: Tickmill offers various deposit and withdrawal methods, and ensures transaction security and handles currency conversions and fees. The process includes minimum and maximum amounts, processing times, and fees. Tickmill's services are compared to other brokers in terms of convenience, reliability, and cost-effectiveness, and the broker takes steps to improve its services. Regarding currency conversions and associated fees, Tickmill allows clients to deposit and withdraw funds in a range of base currencies, including USD, EUR, GBP, CHF, PLN, and SGD. When clients deposit funds in a currency that is different from their account base currency, Tickmill will automatically convert the funds to the account base currency at the prevailing exchange rate. The broker charges no fees for depositing funds, although clients should be aware that their bank or payment processor may charge a fee for the transaction.

Withdrawal fees vary depending on the payment method, with some methods carrying no withdrawal fees at all. For example, Tickmill does not charge withdrawal fees for withdrawals made via Skrill or Neteller, although clients should check with their payment processor for any applicable fees.

When withdrawing funds from Tickmill to a bank account, the article mentions that the processing time for withdrawals is within a single business day. However, the actual time it takes for the funds to appear in the bank account depends on the chosen payment method. Could you please elaborate on the expected time frame for funds to be transferred from Tickmill to a bank account?

The article states that bank withdrawals may take 3-7 working days to appear in a client's account. What are the factors that contribute to this duration? Are there any specific procedures or intermediary processes involved in the transfer of funds that cause the extended time frame?

Additionally, for withdrawals made using a credit or debit card, the article mentions that it may take up to 8 working days for the funds to be credited. Could you shed some light on why withdrawals made through cards take longer compared to bank withdrawals?

Leon

Jun 16 2023

@Lucas:  Hey, great questions! So, when it comes to bank withdrawals taking 3-7 working days, there are a few factors at play. Firstly, the processing time depends on the specific bank and their internal procedures. Different banks may have varying timelines for transferring funds, and it's something that's beyond Tickmill's control. Additionally, international transfers or transfers between different financial institutions may require additional verification and security checks, which can contribute to the duration.

As for withdrawals made using credit or debit cards taking up to 8 working days, there are a couple of reasons for the extended timeframe. When you withdraw funds to your card, Tickmill initiates the transfer to your card issuer, and they are responsible for processing and crediting the funds to your account. The additional time is usually due to the card issuer's internal processing procedures and verification processes. They may have certain checks in place to ensure the transaction is legitimate and secure, which can cause the slight.

Given that Tickmill holds licenses from regulatory authorities such as the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and the Seychelles Financial Services Authority (FSA), it raises the question of how closely these regulatory bodies monitor the funds processed by Tickmill. Can you shed some light on the level of oversight and scrutiny that the FCA and FSA exercise over Tickmill's financial operations? How do these regulatory bodies ensure the safety and security of client funds, and what measures do they have in place to prevent any potential mishandling or misappropriation of funds? Understanding the role and effectiveness of these regulatory authorities in safeguarding client funds can provide valuable insights for individuals considering Tickmill as their forex broker.

Maike

Jun 19 2023

@Yudha: Hey, mate! You need to note that it's good to know that they hold licenses from regulatory heavyweights like the UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and the Seychelles Financial Services Authority (FSA). Now, let's talk about the level of oversight and scrutiny these regulators bring to the table. The FCA and FSA keep a close eye on Tickmill's financial operations to ensure everything is on the up and up. They have robust measures in place to safeguard client funds, making sure they're safe and secure. These measures are designed to prevent any mishandling or misappropriation of funds, giving traders some peace of mind. So, rest assured that Tickmill is under the watchful eye of these regulatory bodies, keeping things in check.

Hey there! Just being curious here. So, when using the payment gateway to complete your payment, you may be wondering about the security of the process. How secure is the payment gateway that you will be redirected to? Are there any measures in place to protect your sensitive information during the transaction? Can you trust that your payment details will be handled securely? It would be great to know more about the security protocols and encryption methods used by the payment gateway to ensure the safety of your payment information.

Ousimen

Jul 4 2023

@Andrew: Absolutely! Ensuring the security of your payment information is crucial, and reputable payment gateways prioritize that. They employ advanced security measures like SSL encryption to protect your data during the transaction (green lock that appear in the upper left of the website or payment gateway site).

This encryption technology creates a secure connection between your device and the payment gateway, ensuring that your payment details remain confidential and cannot be intercepted by unauthorized parties. Additionally, many payment gateways comply with industry standards and undergo regular security audits to maintain the highest level of protection. By implementing these robust security protocols, you can trust that your payment information is handled securely throughout the transaction process. So, rest assured and proceed with confidence when using a trusted payment gateway.

In the article, it stated that Tickmill, a reputable retail forex broker, has been making waves in the industry since its establishment in 2014. With licenses from renowned authorities such as the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and the Seychelles Financial Services Authority (FSA), Tickmill has gained recognition and trust among traders worldwide.

One of the key factors that has propelled Tickmill's popularity is its commitment to providing a low-cost trading environment. But what exactly does "low-cost trading environment" mean in the context of Tickmill? Can anyone explain to me what is that mean and can you give me some examples of the low-cost trading environment terms? Thank you!

Vallen

Jul 16 2023

@Hayashi: Certainly! When we talk about a "low-cost trading environment" in the context of Tickmill, it refers to the broker's focus on providing competitive and affordable trading conditions to its clients. This means that Tickmill aims to offer traders cost-effective solutions that minimize trading expenses and enhance profitability.

Examples of features that contribute to a low-cost trading environment may include tight spreads, which refer to the difference between the buying and selling price of a currency pair. Tickmill strives to offer competitive spreads to ensure traders can enter and exit positions at favorable rates. Additionally, low or transparent commission fees may be charged by Tickmill, ensuring that traders have a clear understanding of the costs associated with their trades.

Hey, I have to say that I really dig Tickmill as a trading platform. I mean, they have some killer features that I'm really tempted to, especially in terms of their leverage, which is actually higher than what's allowed in my own country, the US.

So after reading this article, I decided to give their demo account a try. I trained with him for several months and finally felt ready to open a live account. I followed all the steps outlined in the article, but when I tried to open a live account, it was rejected. I was disappointed and finally contacted Tickmill customer support.

They explained to me that they do not accept US traders. I was a bit confused because they let me open a demo account in the first place, but didn't let me open a live account. Do you know why this is? What's the problem with Tickmill not accepting US traders?

Hi, friends! Luckily you have experience with the Tickmill. So here's the deal with brokers that accept US traders. Tickmill is a global brokerage company that has many branches around the world including the US region which is known for its complex regulations and strict policies. Broker Banay is said to be a good broker, but cannot enter the American market, but Admkrals is indeed on a different level as a global broker.

read : Tickmill Mobile App Review: Is It Good for You?

If you are familiar with MetaTrader 4 and 5, then this is the right choice for you to use as a trading platform at Admirals. It is user-friendly and has a simple interface suitable for beginners. Regarding the regulatory aspect, it is definitely safe to trade with them as they are regulated by some of the most reputable authorities in the industry, such as  CySEC, FCA, FSCA, and the FSA-Seychelles.

Unfortunately, the thing is, Tickmill is a global brokerage company, but they have certain regulatory and policy restrictions. One of those limitations is that they do not accept clients from the United States. Although this broker offers CFD trading on US shares, you cannot open an account with Tickmill if you live in the United States! 74-89% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs. You should consider whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.

That's right, not many brokers accept US traders. According to the articles I read, it is known that getting a US license is very difficult because the requirements are quite strict. One of the main reasons why forex brokers do not accept US clients is because of the strict regulations imposed by the US government. The US government has implemented a number of regulations regarding forex brokers, including the Dodd-Frank Act which was introduced in 2010. This law requires forex brokers to register with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the National Futures Association (NFA) which can be a lengthy and expensive process.

In addition, forex brokers are also required to meet a number of other requirements, including maintaining minimum capital requirements and submitting periodic financial reports to the authorities. These regulations can be difficult for forex brokers to comply with, which is why many prefer not to accept US clients.

Well despite the many rules in the US, it is important to remember that these regulations are designed to protect traders and ensure that the forex market operates fairly and transparently. As a result, it is important to choose a regulated and trustworthy forex broker, even if they do not accept US clients. However, if you need another broker for comparison, you have to read this (Forex Brokers Offering Us Clients)

Yes, even though the Tickmill broker cannot penetrate the US market, it cannot be denied that it is a good broker. Tickmill is a highly regulated Broker with a good reputation. The company is globally recognized and offers good trading conditions for professional or regular traders. Tickmill has one of the best and greatest learning and research materials for EA trading.

I've read in this article that Tickmill doesn't accept payments from third-party sources, and they might impose penalty fees for such actions. I'd like to understand this better. Can you provide more information about the penalty fees Tickmill may apply when a client attempts to make payments through third-party sources? Specifically, I'd like to know:

  • What types of penalties can a client expect if they use third-party payment methods? Are there fixed fees or is it a percentage of the transaction amount?
  • Under what circumstances does Tickmill apply these penalties? Is it based on the frequency of third-party payments, the total transaction amount, or other factors?
  • How are these penalties enforced and collected from the client? Is it deducted directly from the client's trading account, or are they billed separately?

Thank you!

Apart from the deposit and withdrawal options I came across in the article highlighting the variety provided by Tickmill, I'm curious about the overall safety of this broker. I get that having more regulations generally makes a broker safer, but the extent of safety is what I'm questioning. According to the article, Tickmill is presented as a prominent retail forex broker with a solid track record dating back to 2014. They hold licenses from multiple authorities, including the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and the Seychelles Financial Services Authority (FSA).

Now, I've got two specific questions I hope you can shed some light on. Firstly, considering the Seychelles Financial Services Authority (FSA), which is a new one for me, how safe is it? I'd appreciate some insights into the credibility and reliability of the Seychelles regulatory framework.

Secondly, regarding the regulators, can I actually choose between the UK (FCA) and Seychelles (FSA) regulators provided by Tickmill? Is there an option for users to select their preferred regulatory authority? 

Thanks!

Talking about the Seychelles Financial Services Authority (FSA), it might not ring as many bells as some other rule-setting folks, but Seychelles is putting in work to beef up its regulatory game. Just keep in mind, rules can be a bit different from place to place, so it's a good call to dive into the nitty-gritty of what the FSA in Seychelles is all about.

Now, for your second question, usually, you don't get to play the boss and pick your regulatory bigwig when you're working with a broker. The rulebook a broker follows is often set in stone, and it depends on a bunch of things, like where you're kicking back. So, if you're trading from outside the UK, you might find yourself rolling with FSA regulations.

Hey, I've got a burning question – how quick is Tickmill with deposits? I've had some real headaches with other brokers in the past. Picture this: got a margin call, tried to deposit pronto because of the alert, but bam! Deposit took ages, and my trade hit the stop-out level. Result? Total mess, big losses.

So, spill the beans on Tickmill – are their deposits speedy enough, especially when you're dealing with a margin call? I need to know if I can dodge a repeat of that chaotic trading saga.

The article mentions that Tickmill is a prominent retail forex broker with a proven track record since 2014, holding licenses from authorities like the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and the Seychelles Financial Services Authority (FSA). The inquiry focuses on the rigorous regulatory standards of the UK FCA and the potential consequences for brokers who breach rules. Specifically, the interest lies in understanding the extent of the FCA's strictness and the penalties imposed on brokers for rule violations. Furthermore, there's a curiosity about whether the FSA would enforce similar bans or penalties if the FCA takes regulatory action against a broker.

The FCA in the UK is pretty serious about keeping the financial industry in check. They're all about protecting consumers, maintaining a fair market, and making sure competition is on the up and up. They've got rules that financial firms need to stick to, all in the name of creating a financial world that's open and trustworthy.

Now, if a broker under the FCA's watch goes off the rails and breaks these rules, it's not a walk in the park for them. The consequences can be harsh – think fines, sanctions, or even losing the license to do business. The FCA wants to make sure that everyone plays by the rules, promoting good behavior and making sure financial outfits stick to ethical and legal standards. As the comparison with FSA, you can read this article : FSA Vs FCA: Exposing the Differences and the History

As for the FSA over in Seychelles and the FCA, they're separate players in the regulatory game. While they might team up on international regulatory stuff, one doesn't have the other on a leash. Each does its own thing, running independent investigations and taking action based on their own rulebook. They're not joined at the hip, and what one does doesn't automatically bind the other. They dance to their own regulatory tunes. HOpe it can answer your question!

Hey there, I will explain more about the punishment that might be get if broker broke the law in FCA UK :

  1. Fines: Brokers that breach FCA rules may face financial penalties. These fines can vary in amount and are imposed as a direct consequence of the rule violation. The severity of the fine often depends on the nature and extent of the misconduct. 

  2. Sanctions: In addition to fines, the FCA can impose sanctions on offending brokers. Sanctions may involve restrictions or limitations on certain activities, operations, or trading practices. The aim is to curb undesirable behavior and ensure compliance with regulatory standards.

  3. License Revocation: One of the most severe consequences is the revocation of the broker's license to operate. If the FCA determines that a broker has engaged in serious misconduct or repeatedly violated regulations, it may decide to strip the firm of its license. This essentially puts an end to its ability to conduct financial activities under FCA oversight.

Hope it can help!

Greetings, I have a pressing inquiry regarding the efficiency of deposit processing at Tickmill. Previous experiences with other brokers have been quite troublesome, particularly when urgent deposits were required. In a scenario where a margin call prompted swift action, attempting to deposit promptly proved futile as the process took an extended period, resulting in the trade hitting the stop-out level. The outcome was a disarrayed situation accompanied by substantial losses. Therefore, I am seeking clarification on the deposit processing speed at Tickmill, especially in critical situations such as dealing with a margin call. This information is pivotal for determining whether I can avert a recurrence of the tumultuous trading scenario previously encountered.

Hey there! I am little bit curious about the safety of our data in Tickmill! It said in the article, upon initiating the payment on Tickmill, you'll be redirected to a third-party payment gateway to finalize the transaction. The steps on the gateway might vary depending on your chosen payment method, but simply follow the on-screen instructions. I'm keen on understanding Tickmill's safety measures, particularly in safeguarding data. Are there specific measures in place to ensure the security of customer information and financial transactions, in accordance with regulatory standards? Hope there is an explanation about this! Thank you!

Hello there! That's a great question! From what I understand, established financial institutions and online platforms, particularly those involved in trading and investments, prioritize safeguarding customer data and financial transactions. They typically incorporate strong encryption protocols, secure payment gateways, and adhere to industry regulations to ensure the protection of user information.

It's crucial to opt for platforms regulated by reputable financial authorities, as they often follow strict guidelines concerning data security and customer protection. Many companies also provide detailed privacy policies and terms of service outlining their commitment to maintaining the security of user information. Therefore, it's advisable to check which regulatory body oversees a broker and delve into the specifics of their regulatory framework to determine its stringency. For example, Tickmill is regulated by ASIC, you can simply see the regulator information in here : UK FCA vs ASIC, Which Forex Regulator is More Reliable?

Hey, I've got a question. The article mentions that Tickmill commits to processing all withdrawal requests within one business day. Yet, the actual arrival time of the funds depends on the chosen payment method. Bank withdrawals might take 3–7 working days to reflect in a client's account, and credit or debit card withdrawals could take up to 8 working days. I'm wondering, why does involving a bank as a payment option always result in delayed arrival of funds? I get that banks are considered a secure choice, but the speed is a bit sluggish, isn't it?

Grealish

Hey there, let me explain to you about the bank payment process! So, about the  delay in the arrival of funds when using a bank as a payment option is primarily attributed to the traditional banking processes and the involved intermediaries. When you opt for a bank withdrawal, the funds go through several stages of verification, processing, and clearing, each of which takes time.

  • Verification and Processing: Banks need to verify the legitimacy of the transaction and ensure compliance with security measures. This verification process is part of their risk management procedures, and it can add some time to the overall transaction.

  • Clearing and Settlement: The funds need to go through clearing and settlement processes, especially in cross-border transactions. This involves coordination between different banks and financial institutions, which can introduce additional delays.

  • Weekend and Holidays: Banks typically do not operate on weekends and holidays. If a withdrawal request coincides with non-business days, the processing time is extended.

While banks are often considered a secure payment method due to their rigorous security measures, the downside is that these security checks and protocols contribute to the slower processing times. In contrast, alternative payment methods, such as credit or debit cards, might involve fewer intermediaries and quicker clearing processes, leading to faster fund availability.

Hey, I've got an urgent question – how fast is Tickmill with deposits? I've had some serious issues with other brokers before. Imagine this: received a margin call, rushed to deposit immediately due to the alert, but alas! The deposit took forever, and my trade reached the stop-out level. The outcome? A complete disaster, significant losses.

So, tell me about Tickmill – are their deposits quick, especially during a margin call situation? I want to make sure I can avoid a repeat of that chaotic trading experience.

I have been requesting a withdrawal from Tickmill for a week now. I have already made three requests using the exact deposit bank details, but they have failed. I have sent emails and contacted support through chat, but I have not received any response regarding the reason for my failed withdrawals. Is there any reason why it's not coming through?

I have become increasingly dissatisfied with Tickmill due to the following reasons: The take profits (TP) feature is not functioning correctly. Despite their claims of being an "ECN" broker, the functionality of the TP does not align with that. Their system does not allow you to close a trade when you are in a profitable position, but it conveniently allows closure when you are on the losing side. Despite contacting them about this issue, they conveniently ignore my inquiries and respond to...

Depositing funds was a quick and straightforward process. Additionally, they provide the option to open an account using a business license, which is beneficial for those looking to utilize their company's funds for trading purposes. However, there have been instances where the spread for gold has been considerably large, resulting in pending orders not being triggered. Moreover, the stop loss feature does not consistently execute tightly, often closing trades a few pips beyond the set stop loss level. Unfortunately, I have...
