What is Minimum deposit?
In short
The smallest opening payment sets how heavy your first commitment is before you can trade.
A minimum deposit is the smallest amount you must pay in to open an account, and it sets the size of your first commitment. A low figure lowers the barrier to trying a platform, and the amount can differ between account types at the same broker. For example, Abf Trade Eu sets $500, while Acorns Checking asks for no opening payment.
