How to Access the Cash Deposit Feature
OKX makes it easy to deposit local currency or cash directly into your account. Supported methods depend on your geographic location, ensuring compliance and convenience. Once logged in, follow these steps based on your preferred platform.
On the Mobile App
- From the home screen, tap Deposit.
- Select Cash Deposit or choose your local currency option.
This brings you directly to available deposit channels tailored to your region.
On the Web Platform
- Navigate to Assets in the top menu.
- Click Deposit.
- Choose Cash or your local currency.
The web interface displays all relevant options with clear icons and descriptions for seamless navigation.
Both platforms dynamically adjust available methods based on your location and account status.
Supported Currencies and Deposit Methods
To view which currencies and deposit methods are available to you:
- Go to the Cash Deposit section in your OKX account.
- The system will automatically display all supported options based on your region.
You may see various payment gateways such as bank transfers, e-wallets, or instant payment networks like PIX (Brazil), UPI (India), or SEPA (Europe). Each method comes with its own set of fees, limits, and processing times — all visible before you proceed.

Understanding Processing Fees
Processing fees cover the cost of handling your financial transaction. OKX aims to keep these fees low and transparent.
Fee Types You Might Encounter
Flat Fee
A fixed amount charged regardless of deposit size.
Example: A $3 flat fee means you pay $3 whether you deposit $10 or $1,000.
Percentage-Based Fee
The fee is calculated as a percentage of the deposited amount.
Example: A 2% fee on a $100 deposit equals $2. On $500, it would be $10.
Combination Fee (Percentage + Flat)
You pay both a percentage of the amount and a fixed fee.
Example: 1.5% + $1 fee
- Deposit $200 → (1.5% of $200 = $3) + $1 = $4 total fee
Before confirming any transaction, the Deposit Preview screen shows the exact fee breakdown. This amount is always deducted from your deposited sum.
Example: Deposit $10 using a method with a $2 fee → $8 credited to your OKX account.
Transparency ensures no surprises — every charge is displayed upfront.
What Are Deposit Limits?
Deposit limits define the minimum and maximum amounts you can deposit per transaction or within specific timeframes (daily, weekly, monthly). These are enforced to comply with local regulations and risk management policies.
Limits vary depending on:
- Your selected deposit method
- Your account verification level
When choosing a deposit method, OKX displays your remaining available limit. For more details, click the information (i) icon next to the limit indicator.
Types of Deposit Limits
Minimum Deposit Amount
- The smallest amount allowed per single transaction.
- Varies by currency and method (e.g., $5 for bank transfer, $10 for e-wallet).
Daily Limit
- Maximum amount you can deposit within 24 hours.
- Resets continuously — 24 hours after each transaction, not at midnight.
Weekly Limit
- Total deposit cap over 7 consecutive days.
- Rolls forward every week from the date of your first qualifying transaction.
Monthly Limit
- Maximum deposit over a 30-day period.
- Also rolls forward based on transaction history, not calendar months.
Maximum Number of Deposits
- Some methods limit how many times you can use them within a given period.
- Helps prevent misuse and maintain security.
These dynamic limits ensure compliance while allowing flexibility for regular users.
Processing Time Explained
Processing time refers to how long it takes for your deposited funds to appear in your OKX account balance.
While many cash deposit methods offer instant crediting, certain bank transfers may take longer:
- Instant methods: Funds appear within seconds to minutes.
- Standard bank transfers: May take up to 5 business days, depending on the bank and transfer type.
OKX clearly displays estimated processing times when you select a deposit method — so you know exactly what to expect.
Always check this field if timing is critical for trading or withdrawals.
