You can use an international wire transfer to deposit your local currency from your bank account.
An international wire transfer has to be started at your bank, using details you’ll get from your OKCoin account and subject to your deposit limits.
International wire transfers will have different fees depending on your bank. Your funds will usually be available in 1-2 business days after the wire transfer is initiated.
Getting started
To deposit your local currency with an international wire transfer, log into your account, and go to My Assets and click on Deposit.
Selecting your currency type
On the Deposit page, select the type of currency you’re going to use (e.g. USD, EUR). If you’ve made deposits before, your most recent selections will be displayed.
(Selecting currency 1.0)
Enter the amount you want to deposit and select which OKCoin account you want to put the deposit into.
You can deposit into your funding account or one of your trading accounts. If you’re ready to start trading you should put it in your Spot or other trading accounts. Otherwise, you will have to transfer the money from your funding account to your preferred trading account when you’re ready to trade.
Selecting your payment method
If you haven’t linked any bank accounts to your OKCoin account before, you’ll need to add your account.

This form contains all the details you need to make an international wire transfer to OKCoin. Log into your bank account and follow your institution’s international wire transfer instructions.
We’ll email you this info as well. You’ll receive a confirmation email once your deposit has been processed.
Note - The term “deposit,” as used here, means transferring fiat from your bank account into your OKCoin account. OKCoin is not carrying out, and does not intend to carry out, any deposit-taking business.
