Every panel in this index prices in US dollars, so a local-currency deposit is converted somewhere between your account and your balance — by your bank, by the wallet, or by the panel. Only one of those three quotes a rate before you commit. PayPal, the one provider in this set that publishes its conversion charge, states 4.00% for a goods-and-services payment in a different currency and 3.00% for other conversions; a card issuer’s cross-border charge is set by the issuer and is not published centrally. The practical consequence is that a catalogue rate is a floor, not a price. Sterling deposits convert at the issuer or the wallet. The threshold that matters more here is not the exchange rate but £100: section 75 does not apply to a single item priced at or below it, which is where most first deposits in this market sit.

Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 provides that a debtor with a claim against a supplier “shall have a like claim against the creditor, who, with the supplier, shall accordingly be jointly and severally liable”. Subsection (3) excludes claims relating to “any single item to which the supplier has attached a cash price not exceeding £100 or more than £30,000”. In this market that lower bound is the operative one: a £5 test deposit is outside it, and a £150 reseller top-up is arguably inside — though whether a balance top-up counts as a single item with a cash price, rather than a payment on account, is untested.

1. 1Decide in advance what a dispute would cost you

   A chargeback recovers one order and forfeits the relationship and any remaining balance. That trade is cheap on a first small deposit and expensive on a working balance — which is an argument for never letting the balance get large, not an argument against disputing.

2. 2Take the deposit flow to the amount screen

   A rail listed on a panel's footer is a claim; a checkout that loads with a merchant name on it is the fact. Payment support in this category disappears without notice, so confirm it at the moment you intend to pay rather than when you shortlist.

3. 3Measure the conversion into GBP

   Panels in this index price in AED, EUR, IDR, INR, USD. A deposit in a different currency is converted somewhere, at a spread that never appears on the price list.

4. 4Deposit the minimum, order once, then decide

   The cheapest test of a panel is the smallest deposit it accepts followed by one small order on the service you actually want. Across the panels payable from United Kingdom, the lowest minimum deposit on record is $1.00.
