Document Verification and KYC Compliance

Required Documentation

Weltrade enforces strict KYC procedures in line with South African regulations. Upload a clear image of your South African passport, national ID, or driver’s license. Ensure the image shows all corners and text clearly. Accepted file formats are JPEG and PNG. Additionally, submit proof of address issued within the last three months, such as utility bills, bank statements, municipal rates, rental agreements, or insurance documents.

Verification Timeline

Our compliance team reviews documents during South African business hours (09:00-17:00 SAST). Verification usually completes within 1-3 business days. Clients receive email updates about approval or requests for additional information. Once verified, full account features become available, including deposits and withdrawals.

Deposit Methods and Processing

We accommodate several deposit methods tailored for South African clients. Local bank transfers from major banks typically clear within 1-3 business days. Credit and debit card deposits are processed instantly through our secure gateway. Popular e-wallets supported in South Africa allow fast, fee-free deposits. Cryptocurrency funding is an alternative, offering near-instant processing.

• Bank transfers require minimum deposits of $25.

Margin call and stop-out alerts appear automatically to help manage risk.

Withdrawal Procedures and Requirements

Withdrawal Processing Standards

Withdrawals are processed within 30 minutes during business hours. Verified accounts benefit from automatic processing for standard sums. Withdrawal methods must match the deposit method to comply with anti-money laundering policies. Currency is maintained throughout the transaction to avoid discrepancies. Weekend and holiday requests for bank transfers process on the next business day.

Withdrawal Fees and Limits

Fees depend on withdrawal method and account type. E-wallets usually offer free withdrawals for specific tiers. Bank transfer fees vary by bank and international standards. The minimum withdrawal amount is $10. Daily withdrawal limits depend on account verification and trading activity, with options to increase limits upon submitting additional documentation. Processing times range from instant (e-wallets) to 3-5 business days (bank transfers).

Account Types Comparison and Selection

Selecting the correct account type is crucial for South African traders. Micro accounts fit beginners with low deposit requirements and basic features ideal for learning. Premium accounts offer a balance of cost and enhanced features, including educational materials and improved support. Pro accounts cater to experienced traders needing tighter spreads and rapid execution, essential for scalping or automated trading. Consider trading frequency: high-volume traders benefit from Pro features, while occasional traders may prefer Premium.

• Micro Account: Entry-level, minimal deposit, floating spreads.
• Premium Account: Mid-tier, added resources and support.
• Pro Account: Advanced, low spreads, faster execution.

We advise testing strategies on Demo accounts before committing funds to any live account in South Africa.
