How to Fund a 121 Clearing Account

121 Clearing accounts can be opened in either US Dollars, Euros or Pound Sterling and there are three main ways to pay a deposit into a 121 Clearing trading account:

• Union Pay
• SafeCharge
• Bank wire transfer

If you opt for SafeCharge you will be charged a transaction processing fee of 2.95% for amounts under $500,000 and 2.80% for transactions over $500,000. If you opt for UnionPay you will be charged a processing fee of 3.95% plus 35 cents as well as a withdrawal fee of 2% plus 20 Euros.

Withdrawals are made via the same method used to fund the account or, alternatively through a bank wire transfer by simply completing a withdrawal form. Withdrawal requests are usually processed with 24 hours, however clients may need to wait up to 3 working days before withdrawals are processed.

What are 121 Clearing’s Customer Service Options?

121 Clearing can be contacted in several ways in order to answer queries and resolve problems. The website has a convenient web form which can be filled in, or alternatively there are two email addresses which can be used by anyone who has a specific MT4 trading platform query or any trader who has a customer support enquiry. There is also a telephone number provided on the site. For those who want a rapid response to their question, there is a convenient live chat facility which can be easily accessed via the home page.

121 Clearing has plenty to offer potential clients who are interested in trading in CFDs or Forex. There are, however, some downsides – there are limited options when it comes to deposit and withdrawal methods and those who would like to pay with a credit card will be disappointed.
