About Cashout Compass
Cashout Compass is an independent editorial project about one narrow subject: getting money out of an IQ Option account. We are not IQ Option, we are not owned or operated by it, and we have no role in running the platform or its cashier. Everything here is written by readers of the broker's own documentation and terms, for people who want to know what a payout involves before they request one.
What this site covers
The whole site is built around the withdrawal question and the things attached to it:
- The methods available in the cashier — cards, e-wallets, bank transfer, crypto and local rails such as Pix and UPI — and which one suits which situation.
- Minimums, ceilings, fees and the currency conversion that quietly changes what lands in your account.
- Processing timelines, and where the broker's part of the wait ends and your bank's begins.
- Verification and KYC: what is asked for, when, and why an unverified account stalls at the payout stage.
- Delays, rejections and the refund-to-source and same-method rules that cause most of them.
Country pages exist where a market genuinely behaves differently — a local payment rail, a tax treatment, a documentation habit — not to repeat the same guide under a different flag.
How the pages are researched
Our source of record is the operator's own published material: the cashier, the help centre, the terms and conditions, and public regulatory registers. Where a payment rail is involved, we read the rail's own rules too — a bank holiday calendar or a card scheme's refund window explains more delays than any broker page does. We do not run test accounts, we hold no payout data of our own, and we publish no complaint counts or user surveys. When something cannot be confirmed from a primary source, we describe the range and say so rather than invent a figure.
Withdrawal terms move. Limits, fees and available methods change by country, by verification tier and sometimes by month, so treat every number here as a starting point and confirm the current figure on IQ Option's own pages before you act on it.
Who writes it
The site is edited by Isadora Kremer, our Payments and Payouts Editor, who reviews each guide before publication and again when a rule or a rail changes. Pages carry a last-updated date so you can see how fresh the version you are reading is.
If you spot something out of date, contradicted by the cashier, or simply wrong, tell us. Corrections are made on the page itself rather than buried in a note, and a material change is reflected in the update date. Reader reports are the fastest way we learn that a limit moved.
What we do not do
We give no financial, investment or tax advice, and nothing here is a recommendation to trade. We have no access to anyone's trading account, and we cannot release, chase, speed up or reverse a withdrawal, verify documents or recover funds. Only IQ Option's own support can act on your account — if a payout is stuck, that is where to go. Trading carries risk and you can lose your money.
