Customers of retail FX broker AvaTrade will now be able to make secure payments through both PayPal and Rapid Transfer for FX and CFD trading transactions. In addition to the numerous payment options already available on AvaTrade’s platform, these latest offerings will make depositing and withdrawing funds even easier – offering two new fast, reliable service providers that are both secure and easy to use.

PayPal offers higher maximum transfer and withdrawal limits than most banks and enables FX traders to transfer funds in 56 currencies, while Rapid Transfer – which supports over 3,000 banks worldwide – enables customers to pay directly from their bank account without leaving the platform.

Dáire Ferguson, CEO at AvaTrade, comments:

“We are delighted to now be offering our traders the option to make deposits via two new payment options – PayPal and Rapid Transfer. This highlights our dedication to creating a platform that is both safe and easy to navigate, and one that puts our users first. Customer satisfaction is a top priority for us, and, by streamlining the payment process, we are optimising their experience.”

The new services are the latest in a string of developments from the online trading broker, all aimed at improving the security and user-friendliness of its trading platforms. Recent initiatives in this vein include the launch of trading protection tool AvaProtect, which enables traders to completely protect an asset against losses for a pre-defined period, and copy trading solution AvaSocial, which give users the power to model their own strategies on some of the most successful traders on the platform.
