CAD trading account with Interac deposits
Interac deposits land instantly, with a $100-$3,000 per-transaction limit, and withdrawals take 1-5 business days with a $50 minimum. Interac is available to all verified Canadian clients and appears in the deposit menu labelled "Interac" (Eightcap partner desk, July 2026). That is the Canada-specific funding rail on the Eightcap-powered account you open through SmartProfitFX.
You can also hold the account in CAD: Canadian dollars are a selectable base currency on both the Standard and Raw accounts, and Eightcap's partner desk confirmed (July 2026) that with a CAD base-currency account an Interac deposit settles in CAD with no conversion fee. Below is the full funding table, what a CAD base currency does for you, and the CIRO and CIPF trade-off to weigh before you fund.

Interac deposits and withdrawals
Interac deposits are instant with a $100-$3,000 limit; Interac withdrawals take 1-5 business days with a $50 minimum. Interac is the payment method Eightcap lists specifically for Canada. The other rows are the standard methods available on the same account, so you can see how Interac compares before you fund.

|---|---|---|---|---|

Funding methods and limits per Eightcap's payments page, checked 2026-07-06. Interac is the only method Eightcap flags as Canada-specific, and it is available to all verified Canadian clients (Eightcap partner desk, July 2026). Eightcap's partner desk also confirmed that with a CAD base-currency account an Interac deposit settles in CAD with no conversion fee.
Open the Eightcap-powered account and fund with Interac
Interac deposits clear instantly and the minimum to open is $100. You get the same Eightcap Standard or Raw account you would opening direct, with CAD as a selectable base currency. On the Raw account you pay $3.00 per side, $6.00 round trip through SmartProfitFX, not the $3.50 per side, $7.00 round trip Eightcap charges on a direct signup. The discount applies automatically (Eightcap partner desk, July 2026) when you open through the link, costs you nothing, and the account is identical otherwise.

A true CAD base currency account
CAD is a selectable base currency on both the Standard and Raw accounts, sitting alongside AUD, EUR, GBP, NZD, SGD and USD. Choosing it means your balance, your profit and loss, and your statements are all denominated in Canadian dollars rather than converted to USD.
On the Raw account opened through SmartProfitFX, commission is $3.00 CAD per side, $6.00 round trip per standard lot, billed in the same currency you fund and withdraw in. The same Raw account opened direct with Eightcap costs $3.50 per side, $7.00 round trip, so the link saves you $1.00 on every round-trip lot and costs nothing to claim. Eightcap's partner desk confirmed (July 2026) that the discounted rate scales directly to CAD, billing $3.00 CAD per side on CAD-denominated accounts, and applies on MT4, MT5, TradingView, and TradeLocker, whose availability can vary at registration; check the client portal.
What a CAD-denominated account avoids is the friction of seeing your account quoted in a currency that is not your own, and re-doing the mental math on every balance and every fee. The funding leg matches too: Eightcap's partner desk confirmed (July 2026) that with a CAD base-currency account an Interac deposit settles in CAD with no conversion fee, so nothing is lost to an exchange spread on the way in. The deposit screen shows the settlement currency, so you can see it for yourself before you send funds.
What the $1 saving is worth to you
Raw commission is $3.00 per side ($6.00 round trip) through SmartProfitFX versus $3.50 per side ($7.00 round trip) direct. At 50 standard lots a month that is $50 saved a month, roughly $600 a year. Enter your own volume to see your number in CAD.
Open the Raw account through SmartProfitFX and commission is $3.00 CAD per side, $6.00 round trip per standard lot. Open direct with Eightcap and the same account is $3.50 per side, $7.00 round trip. The discount applies automatically (Eightcap partner desk, July 2026) at signup through our link; spreads, funding and platforms are identical either way. Gold, commodity and index CFDs have no separate commission on Raw or Standard (Eightcap partner desk, July 2026), though spreads and overnight financing can still apply.

Funding fine print
Eightcap quotes no internal fees on its funding methods, so the headline cost of moving money in and out is zero from the broker's side, though your bank or card issuer may still apply its own charges. That is the policy line on the payments page, not a promise about third-party fees.
Withdrawal timing depends on the method. Interac, Visa/Mastercard, PayPal and wire withdrawals take 1-5 business days; Skrill and Neteller withdrawals process in 1 business day; crypto withdrawals are instant. Interac carries a $50 withdrawal minimum, so plan to leave at least that much withdrawable rather than trying to pull a smaller amount.
Deposit limits vary by method and are worth knowing before a large transfer: Interac caps a single deposit at $3,000, PayPal at $10,000, and cards, Skrill, Neteller and crypto at $50,000. If you want to fund more than $3,000 in one move, a card or wire is the higher-ceiling route.
- Interac: instant deposit, $100-$3,000; withdrawal 1-5 business days, $50 minimum.
- Cards, Skrill, Neteller, crypto: up to $50,000 per deposit.
- Withdrawal minimum on Interac, wire and crypto is $50.
The CIPF and CIRO reality before you fund
Eightcap is not registered with CIRO, and an account opened through SmartProfitFX is not protected by CIPF. On a funding page that changes two concrete things: where your money sits, and what stands behind the transfer if something goes wrong while it is there.
Eightcap's partner desk confirmed in July 2026 that Canadian clients are currently onboarded on a reverse-solicitation basis, in accordance with Eightcap's Marketing Governance and Client Engagement Policy, to Eightcap International Ltd (registration 8427413-1), regulated by the Seychelles Financial Services Authority under licence FSA SD100. Follow the rails. Funding a CIRO-registered dealer usually means an EFT from your Canadian bank into a Canadian-supervised firm: disputes run through Canadian complaint channels, and if the firm fails, CIPF covers eligible client property up to $1 million. Funding this account means sending an Interac e-Transfer into an offshore Eightcap account with no CIRO oversight or CIPF protection. Interac's own FAQ is blunt that once a transfer is deposited, there is no way to reverse it, and there is no card-network chargeback behind an e-Transfer. Your live Eightcap client agreement sets the applicable complaint and dispute terms, not the Canadian framework.
In the ordinary case none of this bites: deposits credit instantly and withdrawals follow Eightcap's published 1-5 business-day schedule. Plan for the case that is not ordinary. Fund only what you can afford to hold offshore, start with the $100 minimum rather than the $3,000 Interac ceiling, and treat your first withdrawal, money actually landing back in your Canadian bank account, as the test that the round trip works before you scale up. If you want Canadian rails and Canadian recourse end to end, one of the CIRO-registered brokers below fits you better.

Frequently asked questions
Which brokers accept Interac?
The Eightcap-powered account you open through SmartProfitFX lists Interac as its Canada-specific funding method, available to all verified Canadian clients (Eightcap partner desk, July 2026), with instant deposits of $100-$3,000. It appears in the deposit menu labelled "Interac". Interac is common among offshore CFD brokers serving Canada; most CIRO-registered domestic brokers fund by EFT or bank transfer rather than Interac.
Is an Interac deposit instant?
Yes. Interac deposits are processed instantly on the Eightcap payments page, within a $100-$3,000 per-transaction limit. Interac withdrawals are not instant, taking 1-5 business days.
How long do Interac withdrawals take?
Interac withdrawals take 1-5 business days and carry a $50 minimum. Skrill and Neteller withdrawals are faster at 1 business day, and crypto withdrawals are instant, if you need money out sooner.
What is the minimum deposit?
The minimum deposit is $100 to open either the Standard or Raw account. The minimum Interac deposit is also $100, so a single Interac transfer can open and fund the account.
Can I hold the account in CAD?
Yes. CAD is a selectable base currency on both the Standard and Raw accounts, so your balance, profit and loss, and statements are denominated in Canadian dollars. On the Raw account your commission bills in CAD too, and Eightcap's partner desk confirmed (July 2026) it is $3.00 CAD per side, $6.00 round trip through the SmartProfitFX link versus $3.50 per side, $7.00 round trip on a direct signup. Eightcap's partner desk confirmed (July 2026) that with a CAD base-currency account an Interac deposit settles in CAD with no conversion fee, and the deposit screen shows the settlement currency so you can see it before funding.
What are the Interac deposit limits?
Interac deposits are limited to $100-$3,000 per transaction. If you want to fund more in one move, cards, Skrill, Neteller and crypto go up to $50,000 per deposit and PayPal up to $10,000.
Are there fees to deposit or withdraw?
Eightcap quotes no internal fees on its funding methods, so there is no broker-side charge to move money in or out. On a CAD base-currency account, Eightcap's partner desk confirmed (July 2026) that an Interac deposit settles in CAD with no conversion fee. Your own bank or card issuer may still charge its own fees, and on a non-CAD account a currency conversion happens on the way in, so check the settlement currency shown in the deposit screen.
