You can deposit at any time from your client area. Deposits are free, and every method is credited to your account automatically.
Before you start: your account needs to be activated. The deposit and withdrawal pages unlock once you've completed the identity check in your client area, so finish that first if you haven't yet.

- Choose Deposit Funds.
- Pick a method. The page shows the methods available to your account.
- Follow the instructions on screen. Each method has its own guide below.
- Your balance updates automatically once the payment arrives.

- Bank transfer: you can transfer from any bank in Japan, including online banks. If the deposit page asks you to pick a bank, that's the Zentrader account you'll send the money to, not the bank you send it from. See How to deposit by bank transfer (Turbo Deposit).
- Credit card: See How to deposit by card.
- Crypto: See How to deposit with crypto.
