Can I fund my account with someone else's bank account?
eToro does not allow third-party payments. A third-party payment is a deposit that is not in the same name as the owner of the eToro account. As stated in our terms and conditions, the owner of the trading account should be the owner of the funds.
However, if you wish to use a method of payment belonging to your spouse or another first-degree family member, we can set up a joint account for you. This means that both parties will be allowed access to deposit/withdraw funds, but only the account owner will be permitted to trade. You will be asked to provide identification documents, proof of your relation (such as marriage certificate/ birth certificate), as well as complete the joint account form.
If you attempt to use a third-party payment method without a joint account, your account will be closed and any remaining balance refunded.
How do I set up automatic recurring deposits?
