How it works

Three steps to fund your account

1
Pay via the secure Revolut checkout

Click Pay with card below. You’ll be taken to a secure hosted checkout (operated by GCI’s card-payment partner through Revolut) where you can enter your card details and complete the payment. The checkout supports Visa and Mastercard with 3-D Secure authentication.

Please make a note of the Revolut confirmation reference — you’ll need it in step 2.

2
Submit the deposit information form Required

So we can credit the correct trading account, please submit the deposit information form immediately after payment. You’ll need your trading account number, the payment amount, and the Revolut reference from step 1.

About your payment

Who processes your card payment

Card payments to GCI are handled by GCI’s card-payment partner through a secure Revolut hosted checkout. The partner processes the card transaction on GCI’s behalf and passes the funds to GCI for crediting to your trading account.

GCI remains responsible for your deposit, your trading account, and any refunds or support queries. If anything about your payment needs attention, contact GCI support — not the payment partner.

On your card statement, this deposit will appear as [DESCRIPTOR]. This is not fraud — it’s the normal descriptor for card deposits to GCI. If you’re unsure, contact GCI support with your Revolut reference and we’ll confirm.

Before you start

A few things to have ready

Registered in your own name. The name on the card must match the name on your GCI account.

Your phone for 3-D Secure

Your bank will send a one-time authentication code during checkout.

A verified GCI account

KYC verification must be complete. Deposits from unverified accounts cannot be credited.

Frequently asked

Credit card deposit questions

Visa and Mastercard credit and debit cards are accepted, provided the card is issued in your own name and is registered to a country where GCI offers services. Corporate cards, prepaid cards, and cards issued in restricted countries may be declined by the payment processor.

Card payments are processed by GCI’s card-payment partner via Revolut’s hosted checkout. The partner handles the card transaction on GCI’s behalf and passes the funds to GCI for crediting to your trading account. GCI remains responsible for your deposit, your trading account, and any refunds or support queries — please contact GCI support for anything related to your payment or account.

If you complete the Revolut payment but don’t submit the deposit information form, your payment cannot be automatically matched to your trading account and will remain unreconciled at our payment processor. To resolve this, contact support with your Revolut reference and trading account number and we will match the payment manually. To avoid this, please submit the deposit information form immediately after paying.

Typically within one business day after we receive both your payment and the deposit information form. Reconciliation may take longer during weekends, bank holidays, or if additional verification is required.

GCI does not charge a deposit fee on card payments. Your card issuer may apply their own transaction, currency conversion, or cash advance fees — please check with your bank before depositing. Currency conversion (if the card currency differs from your trading account currency) is handled at the payment processor’s prevailing rate.

Card declines are decided by your card issuer, not by GCI. Common reasons include: insufficient funds, exceeded daily limit, cross-border transaction blocks, or the card issuer flagging the merchant category. Please contact your bank first. If the issue persists, contact GCI support and we can suggest an alternative deposit method.

For refunds, contact GCI support first — we can usually resolve requests directly. Approved refunds are processed back to the original payment card via our card-payment partner and Revolut. Please do not initiate a chargeback through your bank without contacting us: chargebacks can result in your account being temporarily restricted while the dispute is investigated.
