You want to fund an overseas forex broker with Peska, but the steps from sign-up to transfer are unclear. This article walks through them.
The flow has four stages: register, submit documents, top up Peska, then deposit to the broker. Peska charges no deposit fee. Top-ups from a Japanese bank are stated to arrive in as little as 5 minutes, or about 0 to 1 business days (official site, checked 20 October 2026).
By the end, you will know the documents, fees and broker-side points to check.
In short: opening a Peska account and depositing takes four stages
- Registration starts with an email address, and documents are required to use every service
- Submit one identity document and one proof of address, and they must be different documents
- Topping up Peska is free (bank transfer fees are paid by you)
- Withdrawals are free once a month (either a Japanese bank or USDT counts)
- Deposit to a broker from the deposit screen of a broker that lets you choose Peska
Peska is not a forex broker. It is an online wallet used for deposits and withdrawals. Fees, limits and processing times may change, so follow the figures on the official Peska site.
Peska account opening: steps from email sign-up to first use
- 01Register with your email address
Enter your email address under "Register" on the official Peska site. The official site says account opening takes as little as 3 minutes.
- 02Submit an identity document and proof of address
On a device with a camera, photograph your identity document and a selfie, then apply. You also submit a proof of address document.
- 03Wait for the document review
The official site says review can finish in as little as 0 days. The standard number of days is not stated on the official site.
- 04Top up Peska and start using it
Once review is done, you can add a balance from a bank or USDT. The next section covers the top-up methods.
The official introduction page does not detail the fields on the registration screen. Follow the on-screen instructions.
Peska identity verification: prepare two separate documents
