Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a deposit take to process?
Processing time depends on the selected payment method. Card payments, PayPal and Zelle are usually credited within minutes; wire transfers typically settle in 1–5 business days. The full ETA for each method is shown in the methods table on this page.
Are there any fees for making a deposit?
Fees vary by method. PayPal and Zelle deposits are 0%, Visa/Mastercard carry a 5% processing fee, and wire transfer fees depend on your fiat currency. The exact value is shown in the fee column next to each method.
Is there a minimum deposit amount?
Yes — each payment method has its own minimum. The card and digital-wallet rails start as low as the equivalent of $20, while wire transfers typically require around $100. Exact minimums are shown when you start a deposit.
Why was my deposit not credited yet?
Delays are usually caused by bank processing times, network congestion, or missing reference details on a wire transfer. If the estimated time has passed, contact UEX support with your transaction reference and timestamp.
Which fiat currencies are supported for deposits?
UEX accepts USD, EUR and GBP. Availability of specific payment methods within each currency depends on your region — switch the currency selector at the top of the page to see what is available.
Do I need to complete identity verification?
Yes for most fiat rails. Visa/Mastercard and PayPal deposits typically require only a light KYC check, while Zelle and wire transfers require full verification. You can finish verification any time from your account settings.
Can I deposit from a card that is not in my name?
No. For security and anti-fraud reasons, the cardholder name on the payment instrument must exactly match the verified name on your UEX account.
Are crypto deposits supported?
Yes. You can deposit any supported cryptocurrency to your UEX wallet — open the asset in your dashboard, copy the address (and memo/tag if applicable), and send from the external source. On-chain confirmations are required before the balance is credited.
Is my deposit insured or protected?
Fiat balances on UEX are held with regulated banking partners and treated under US client-money rules. Crypto deposits are stored in segregated wallets with cold-storage controls. See the Security section of the site for full custody details.
