Last updated: 5 October 2026. Every screenshot below was recorded that day (UAE time) on an IQ Option Practice account registered in the United Arab Emirates, over a UAE connection. We stopped before the final payment button, so no money was sent.
To deposit on IQ Option from the UAE, you open the cashier, choose a card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or a cryptocurrency, set dirham (AED) as your account currency, enter at least AED 37 and pay. The UAE cashier has no local bank transfers. This guide shows each step with a Visa or Mastercard on the UAE cashier. It then covers Tether (USDT) deposits, the official minimums and how withdrawals work for UAE accounts.

How to deposit on IQ Option in the UAE, step by step
We followed the steps with Visa / Mastercard. The numbers in each screenshot show where to click, in order.
Step 1: Click Deposit
In the traderoom, click the green Deposit button at the top right, next to your balance (1). On our UAE account the top bar also had an Islamic account switch (OFF).
Step 2: Choose “Top up your account”
The Make a Deposit window shows your free Practice balance ($10,000) and your real account, which on a UAE account is in dirham. Refill to $10,000 only refills the Practice account with virtual money, which cannot be withdrawn. To deposit real money, click Top up your account (1).
Step 3: Choose Visa / Mastercard
The UAE cashier recommends Apple Pay, Google Pay and Visa / Mastercard. Below them it lists seven cryptocurrencies and Volet.com. Click Visa / Mastercard (1).
Step 4: Choose dirham (AED) as your account currency
Before your first deposit, the cashier asks for the currency of your real account. A UAE account can choose AED, EUR, GBP or USD. Select AED (1) and click Next (2). IQ Option warns that you cannot change the currency after your first deposit. If your card is in dirham, AED avoids a currency conversion on your balance.
Step 5: Enter the amount and check the bonus
Type the amount (1) or click one of the quick amounts. The card form accepted AED 37 to AED 42,271 on our account, and the field marks anything outside that range in red.
The welcome-bonus code IQWELCOME was already applied (2). On AED 37 it added 50% (AED 18.50), the bonus starts at AED 37, and the quick amounts showed up to +100% from AED 1,000. If you do not want a bonus, remove the code with the × before you pay, and read the bonus terms behind the (i) icon first.
Step 6: Enter your card details and confirm
Enter the card number, the expiry date (MM/YY), the cardholder’s name and the CVC, the three digits on the back of the card (1). Save my card for future instant payments was ticked by default (2); untick it if you do not want the card stored. Tick the box to accept the terms (3) and click Deposit, which shows the amount (4). Use a card in your own name.
We stopped at this screen and did not pay. The cashier lists Visa / Mastercard as instant.

The UAE cashier listed seven coins, each at 5 to 60 minutes: Tether (USDT, TRC20), Bitcoin, USDC (BNB Smart Chain), Ethereum (ERC-20), Cardano, XRP and Litecoin. IQ Option converts the coins to your account currency, so you do not hold crypto on the platform.
