Enhanced security

Enhanced security

Using Apple Pay or Google Pay gives you access to a high level of security. These services rely on tokenisation technology, which prevents your actual bank details from being transmitted to third parties. In other words, your personal information is never shared with ActivTrades or stored on their servers.

Payments are also protected by your device’s built-in security—such as facial recognition, fingerprint authentication, or passcode—making them even safer than traditional payment methods.

Smoother user experience

For many traders, execution speed is key. Integrating payment options like Google Pay and Apple Pay makes the deposit process faster and more convenient. No need to search for your card, input your banking details, or go through intermediaries.

This modernised approach improves not only the mobile experience (especially via the ActivTrader app) but also desktop access, allowing deposits within seconds directly from your browser.

How do Google Pay and Apple Pay deposits work?

The process is very simple:
  1. Log in to your ActivTrades account.
  2. Go to the “Deposit” section.
  3. Select Google Pay or Apple Pay depending on your device.
  4. Enter the amount you wish to deposit.
  5. Confirm the payment using your phone or smartwatch.

The funds are instantly credited to your trading account and ready to use.

Innovation at the heart of ActivTrades’ strategy

With this update, ActivTrades demonstrates its commitment to meeting the evolving expectations of its clients. As mobile payments become standard—whether for online purchases or contactless in-store—it was only natural for this convenience to extend into online trading. This move reflects the platform’s ongoing modernisation, already appreciated for its intuitive interface, responsive customer support, and wide range of instruments (shares, indices, forex, commodities, and more).

By integrating Google Pay and Apple Pay, ActivTrades gives users a faster, simpler, and more secure way to fund their accounts. Whether you’re an active trader or just starting out, this new feature makes managing your capital significantly easier.

No more back-and-forth with your bank or waiting on slow processing times—within seconds, you’re ready to trade with the full flexibility these innovative payment methods provide.
