Fusion Markets has competitive all-in trading costs and reasonable deposit and withdrawal handling, but it offers leveraged CFDs, where most retail accounts lose money, and some clients may be onboarded through an offshore entity with weaker protection. Before depositing, verify the exact legal entity, product access and withdrawal terms that apply to you — and it's worth comparing alternatives before you decide.

How long do withdrawals take at Fusion Markets?+
Typical withdrawal time is Under 1 hour (broker-stated). Actual speed depends on your payment method, identity verification (KYC) and the entity that holds your account. Regulated brokers usually return funds to your original deposit method first.
What leverage does Fusion Markets offer, and is it risky?+
Maximum leverage is around 30:1 on the global entity; retail limits — Australia: up to 30:1. Lower limits apply to some instruments. Leverage amplifies both gains and losses, and most retail CFD accounts lose money — only trade with money you can afford to lose.
Is Fusion Markets available in Canada?+
We treat Canada as unavailable. Fusion's own terms name Ontario residents as restricted, and the Alberta Securities Commission added fusionmarkets.com to its Investment Caution List in February 2026 (not registered in Alberta). Canadian residents should verify registration on CSA/provincial registers before depositing anywhere.
Does Fusion Markets have a minimum deposit?+
No — Fusion's own pages state there is no minimum account size. Small minimums can still come from individual payment providers, and pricing/terms can change: verify on the current account pages before funding.
Before you deposit, compare Fusion Markets against alternatives.
