Context
FAQ says exact percentage is displayed before trade; ordinary payout varies by asset, liquidity, trade time, tariffs, and market conditions.
Quotex states that profit can reach 98%, with the percentage displayed before the trade is placed, which supports a clear but lower top-end payout rank.
This is a headline comparison figure, not a guarantee of the typical payout on every account.

What we checked
Tradable assets, market hours, and weekend access
Quotex lists the most symbols in this comparison, although availability can vary by account and session.
OTC symbols and country-specific availability can affect the tradable list shown to each user.
Price source
The broker offers both regular market symbols and OTC instruments, so each price source and trading session should be checked separately.

Regular market symbols plus OTC instruments
Quotex includes OTC-labeled instruments, which can extend trading access but reduces price-source transparency versus no-OTC flows.
OTC visibility can vary by session, account, and region.
Expiry

Account and verification
What happens between registration, funding, verification, and first withdrawal.
Onboarding
Registration asks for the client's name, current email address, telephone number, and password. A free demo account can be used before depositing.
KYC timing
Verification is requested at the company's discretion, including for larger withdrawals or when identity cannot be established. The FAQ states up to five business days after requested documents are received; contractual payment review can take longer in exceptional cases.
Documents
- Color copy of the passport identity page or another accepted identity document
- Selfie when requested
- Proof of residential address
- Bank-card verification for card-funded accounts
- Additional payment documents or details requested during a withdrawal review
Account rules
- Registration details must be complete, accurate, and kept current; mismatches can result in profile blocking.
- The service agreement prohibits multiple or coordinated accounts, dishonest execution methods, unauthorized automation, and exploitation of price-feed differences.
- Card-funded withdrawals require full account and card verification under the payment policy.
- The company can request identity and payment evidence at its discretion before releasing funds.
- An inactive account can be blocked after six months and may incur an account-maintenance fee after 180 days.
Security
- The FAQ recommends a complex password and current email and telephone details for verification notices.
- Identity, selfie, address, and payment-card checks may be used to confirm account ownership.
- No independent security audit or published account-protection certification was identified for this review.
Quotex is competitive on minimum deposit, keeping the first-funding hurdle low compared with higher-threshold brokers.
Regional payment methods can carry different limits or availability.
Withdrawal
Official FAQ says withdrawals normally follow the deposit method, may require verification for larger amounts, average 1-5 days, and start from $10 for most systems or $50+ for crypto. Third-party and Trustpilot patterns are mixed: many users praise the simple platform, while negative reviews often focus on delayed withdrawals, repeated verification, data/privacy concerns, or provider/payment issues.

Deposit and withdrawal matrix
Broker processing time is separate from the time a bank, wallet, card network, or blockchain may need.
| Method | Deposit | Withdrawal | Fees | Timing | Rules |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bank cards | $10 minimum is published; local card availability and maximums depend on the account. | Normally returned through the card or payment method used to deposit and can be limited to the amount funded through that route. | Deposits are free according to the FAQ; payment providers and currency conversion may add their own costs. | The FAQ states an average withdrawal period of 1-5 days. The current payment policy gives the company up to seven days to decide and allows extension to 14 days in some cases. | Full account and bank-card verification is required before withdrawing from a card-funded account. |
| E-wallets and local payment systems | $10 minimum is published, but methods, currencies, and live limits vary by country. | Most listed systems start from $10 and generally use the same-method path. | No deposit fee is published; provider fees and company-set conversion rates can apply. | Average FAQ timing is 1-5 days, with provider delivery and verification capable of extending the total wait. | The company may choose another payment route and request full payment documentation when the original route cannot be used. |
| Cryptocurrency | Coin, network, currency, and live minimum depend on the cashier. | The FAQ states a starting minimum of $50, with a higher amount possible for some currencies such as Bitcoin. | Network charges and exchange-rate effects may apply; the payment policy permits company-set commissions and conversion rates. | The same 1-5 day average is published, but blockchain processing and account checks can add time. | Use the correct network and verified client-owned wallet; incorrect details remain the client's responsibility. |
| Refund of unused deposit | Applies when deposited funds were not used in a platform trade. | Refunds generally follow the original funding method and can require payment records. | Company-set costs, deductions, conversion, or provider charges may apply. | The payment policy gives the company seven days to decide and allows up to 30 days in some refund cases. | The request must be submitted through the personal account or to [email protected] and comply with the payment policy. |
Fees and account rules
- Starting with the third successful withdrawal in the same calendar day, the company may charge 3% on each subsequent successful withdrawal.
- After 180 days without account operations, the service agreement permits a daily maintenance fee of 1% of the current balance, with a minimum of $1.
- The company can set or change withdrawal commissions, limits, and conversion rates; its conversion rate may differ from central-bank or market rates.
- Payment systems can charge separate processing, network, or conversion fees.
- Bonus amounts are generally not withdrawable and may be removed when deposited funds are withdrawn, subject to the current offer rules.
Quotex provides useful withdrawal timing and fee information, but provider handling and verification steps can still affect speed.
Public user records should be read alongside account and payment terms.

What we checked
Hours, languages, contact channels, and user reports
Support channels and escalation
Published opening hours are not treated as proof that every issue is resolved at the same speed.
Availability
Quotex publicly claims 24/7 support.
Languages
The website and marketing describe multilingual support. Language coverage and native-agent availability can vary by shift and request type.
Response
No independently measured first-response or resolution time is publicly available. Withdrawal and KYC cases may require document review rather than an immediate chat resolution.
Escalation
Use platform support first. Formal claims must be submitted within five days of the disputed event under the service agreement; the company states a 14-business-day review period. Finance and refund requests may also use [email protected] where the payment policy permits.
Channels
- In-platform support ticket
- Website support service
- Email for finance or refund requests
- Official social channels for general updates
Public review themes
Public feedback commonly praises the clean interface, demo access, low entry amount, and visible payout. Recurring concerns focus on withdrawal delays, discretionary verification, account restrictions, payment-provider problems, data handling, and the absence of strong regulatory protection.
Positive reports
- Simple browser and mobile trade setup
- Free demo balance and low minimum trade
- Payout shown before the contract is placed
- Some reviewers report straightforward deposits, withdrawals, and useful support
Recurring concerns
- Reports of delayed or rejected withdrawals
- Verification requests during larger or selected withdrawals
- Account blocking or limited explanations in dispute cases
- Provider, currency-conversion, or local payment-route problems
- Company-controlled price determination and server-log priority in disputes
These are public-review patterns rather than verified facts about every account. Review authenticity, domain matching, invitation status, and whether a dispute was ultimately resolved can vary.
Quotex combines public 24/7 positioning with multilingual support coverage, keeping it high in the support comparison.
Response quality may vary by issue type and local language.

Tie result
If the underlying price is unchanged at expiry, the FAQ states that the investment is returned.
Settlement source
The service agreement says the company unilaterally determines the asset rate using information from central banks, trading venues, liquidity providers, and other sources. Company server logs prevail in a dispute.
Contract types
- Higher digital option
- Lower digital option
- Fixed-outcome trades on currencies, securities, indices, commodities, and precious metals

- Payout percentage shown before entry
- Pre-term closing when the company and liquidity provider make it technically available

- Account and trade history through the browser or mobile interface
Distinctive limits
- Pre-term closing is conditional, not guaranteed; the company may refuse it without explanation.
- The company may refuse to execute a trade and does not guarantee uninterrupted platform operation.
- OTC-labeled instruments extend availability but are not equivalent to transparent exchange-market pricing.
- Integrated signals are informational and the service agreement disclaims responsibility for their accuracy or trading results.
- The company can cancel or adjust activity it classifies as abusive, coordinated, automated, or based on price-feed exploitation.

Official Quotex static web-platform image.Quotex has a simple, fast interface that works well for quick testing, though it offers less advanced strike and barrier depth than the leaders.
The platform is easy to compare on speed, with fewer advanced order controls.
Quotex review notes
Quotex is strongest as a clean, fast-testing broker: simple web interface, demo onboarding, low entry threshold, high visible asset count, and frequent mentions across user-review and comparison pages.
Platform experience
Official pages and app-style marketing emphasize a straightforward interface, demo balance, indicators, multilingual access, and quick trade setup. User reviews often praise the simple platform and support response, while comparison sites still flag the need to read regulation, bonus, and withdrawal terms carefully.
Deposits and withdrawals
Quotex presents deposits and withdrawals as straightforward, and some third-party reviews describe an easy process. Actual access still depends on same-method rules, local payment availability, verification, and bonus-linked restrictions.
Key limitations
Quotex fits a simple quick-start comparison better than a deep product-control comparison. Withdrawal, bonus, and entity checks remain important beside the clean interface story.
Closest alternatives
Use the same ranking fields to compare another broker when a product, payment rule, or platform limitation matters more.
Pocket Option
Consider Pocket Option when Express, Pending, Social, and Copy Trading features matter more than keeping the contract flow minimal.
Deriv
Consider Deriv for broader documented option-contract families, automation through Deriv Bot, and clearer separation of market and synthetic products.
IQ Option
Consider IQ Option when strike-selectable Digital Options, deeper charting, and early sale controls are more important than the lowest-complexity interface.
Quotex common questions
Short answers to the account, product, payment, and platform questions users check before visiting the broker.
How long does a Quotex withdrawal take?
The FAQ states an average of 1-5 days. The current payment policy permits up to seven days for a decision and, in some cases, an extension to 14 days, plus payment-provider delivery time.
What is the minimum Quotex withdrawal?
Most payment systems start at $10. Cryptocurrency withdrawals start at $50 and may be higher for particular coins such as Bitcoin.
Does Quotex charge a withdrawal fee?
The FAQ states that deposits are free. From the third successful withdrawal in the same calendar day, the company may charge 3% on each subsequent successful withdrawal. Providers may charge separately.
Must I withdraw using the same payment method?
Generally yes. The payment policy follows the deposit method and may limit that route to the amount funded through it, although the company can select another method and request payment evidence.
When does Quotex request KYC?
Verification is discretionary and can be requested for larger withdrawals, card-funded accounts, inconsistent profile data, or other identity and payment checks. The FAQ states up to five business days after documents are received.
Can a Quotex trade be closed before expiry?
The service agreement defines pre-term closing, but it is available only when technically supported by the company and liquidity provider. Quotex may refuse the request without explanation.
What happens when the expiry price equals the entry price?
The FAQ says a zero result returns the investment.
Where does the Quotex price come from?
The agreement says Quotex determines the asset rate using information from central banks, trading venues, liquidity providers, and other sources. It does not disclose a universal named feed for every symbol, and company server logs control disputes.
Is Quotex government regulated?
The current agreement identifies a St. Kitts and Nevis company, but this review did not find a government financial-services licence or statutory investor-compensation scheme covering the compared digital-option service.
