If you're looking to deposit cash into your OKX account, understanding the key details—such as deposit limits, processing fees, and transaction speed—is essential for a smooth and efficient experience. Whether you're using the OKX mobile app or web platform, all the information you need is readily accessible within your account dashboard. This guide walks you through exactly where to find these critical details and how they may affect your transactions.
How to Access the Cash Deposit Feature
OKX makes it simple to deposit cash with a user-friendly interface available across both mobile and desktop platforms. Supported local currencies and deposit methods vary by region, so logging into your account is the first step to seeing what options are available to you.
On the Mobile App
To initiate a cash deposit via the OKX app:
- Open the app and log in.
- Tap Deposit on the home screen.
- Choose Deposit cash or select your local currency option.
👉 Discover how fast and easy it is to deposit cash directly into your OKX wallet.
This will take you to the deposit methods page, where you can explore all region-specific options.
On the Web Platform
Using OKX via browser? Follow these steps:
- Log in to your OKX account.
- Navigate to Assets in the top menu.
- Click Deposit, then select Cash or your preferred local currency.
You’ll be directed to a list of supported deposit channels based on your location.
Supported Currencies and Deposit Methods by Region
Not all deposit methods are available globally. OKX tailors its services to comply with local financial regulations, which means your available options depend on your region.
To view what’s supported:
- Go to the Cash Deposit section in your account.
- Browse the list of available currencies (e.g., USD, EUR, GBP) and corresponding deposit methods (e.g., bank transfer, instant payment networks).
These options update dynamically based on your verified location and account status. Always check this section before initiating a transaction to avoid delays.
Understanding Processing Fees for Cash Deposits
Processing fees cover the administrative and operational costs associated with handling your deposit. OKX aims to keep these fees transparent and competitive.
How Fees Are Displayed
- If a fee applies, it will be clearly shown before you confirm the transaction.
- If there's no charge, you'll see "No fee" indicated.
You’ll always see the applicable fee when selecting a deposit method. The final amount is also summarized on the Deposit Preview screen before submission.
Types of Fees You Might Encounter
OKX may apply one of three common fee structures:
Flat Fee
A fixed amount charged regardless of deposit size.
Example: A $3 flat fee means you pay $3 whether depositing $10 or $1,000.
Percentage-Based Fee
Calculated as a percentage of your total deposit.
Example: A 2% fee on a $100 deposit equals $2; on $500, it would be $10.
Combined Fee (Percentage + Flat)
A hybrid model that includes both a percentage and a fixed component.
Example: 1.5% + $1
- Deposit: $200
- 1.5% of $200 = $3
- Plus $1 flat fee
- Total: $4
💡 Important: The processing fee is deducted from your deposit amount. For instance, if you send $10 with a $2 fee, $8 will be credited to your OKX balance.

What Are Cash Deposit Limits?
Deposit limits define the minimum and maximum amounts you can transfer into your OKX account per transaction or over specific timeframes. These limits help ensure compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations and vary based on:
- Your chosen deposit method
- Your account verification level (e.g., KYC tier)
Types of Deposit Limits
Each method displays its current limit status. Tap the information (i) icon next to a method to view full details.
Minimum Deposit Limit
The smallest amount allowed per single transaction. Deposits below this threshold will be rejected.
Daily Limit
Maximum amount you can deposit within any 24-hour window. This resets on a rolling basis—24 hours after each transaction—not at midnight.
Weekly Limit
Total allowable deposits over seven consecutive days. Resets 7 days after the transaction that consumed part of the limit.
Monthly Limit
Cap on deposits within a 30-day period. Resets 30 days after the relevant transaction.
Maximum Number of Deposits
Some methods restrict how many times you can use them within a given period, regardless of total value.
These limits are displayed directly on the deposit method selection screen in both the app and web interface.
How Long Do Cash Deposits Take to Process?
Processing time refers to how long it takes for funds to appear in your OKX account after initiating a deposit.
While many cash deposit methods—especially instant payment systems—are processed immediately, others like traditional bank transfers may take longer.
- Instant deposits: Funds appear in seconds or minutes.
- Bank transfers: Can take up to 5 business days, depending on your bank and transfer type.
The estimated processing time is always visible when choosing a deposit method, helping you plan accordingly.
