In my own experience, the minimum deposit required to start with Travelex depends on the method you choose. If you’re depositing online or through the Travelex Money App, the minimum is AUD 350 or the equivalent in another currency. However, if you prefer to transact in person at a physical Travelex store, the minimum deposit drops to AUD 100 or currency equivalent. I found these figures to be reasonable for beginners, but it’s worth noting that this threshold is noticeably higher online than with some other brokers in the Australian market. For someone new to forex or currency products, understanding the minimum deposit is just one factor—the implications are wider. A higher minimum can act as a barrier, especially for those who want to start cautiously or test the platform first. In my risk-managed approach, I always consider how much capital I’m comfortable putting at stake, particularly since forex trading involves meaningful risk. I’d also highlight that, according to my research and experience, Travelex is more focused on currency exchange and travel-related financial services rather than being a mainstream FX trading broker with access to typical forex trading platforms and demo accounts. For me, it’s important to match the broker’s core offerings and deposit requirements with my actual trading intentions before proceeding.
