As a trader who considers cost structure a crucial component of broker selection, I paid close attention to Mashreq’s charges related to deposits and withdrawals. According to the information available, Mashreq accepts payments via credit/debit cards and bank wire, and there is no stated minimum withdrawal amount. However, I could not find a specific, explicit mention of direct fees being applied just for depositing or withdrawing funds, at least in terms of standard processing (like inbound or outbound bank transfer fees). That said, my experience in this industry tells me that even if a broker does not overtly publish deposit or withdrawal fees, there may still be costs indirectly incurred, such as currency conversion charges, third-party bank fees, or in some cases, spreads on international currency transactions. For Mashreq, there are outlined fees for other banking and transaction services, including a 1.00%–1.50% fee on large foreign currency cash transactions, and specified charges for wire transfers (with international electronic transfers costing AED 26.25, and domestic via UAEFTS at AED 1.05). These would impact a trader if using those methods for moving funds, so it's important to read all fee schedules carefully and clarify with customer support before moving significant amounts. I would exercise caution and confirm any potential hidden costs with Mashreq’s support team prior to funding an account, as transparency on these kinds of charges is vital for effective risk management.
