6. Withdrawals: Withdrawals can be made once a profit has been realized. The process for withdrawal does not have any complicated steps and methods available include e-wallets, payment gateways and credit cards. The minimum that can be withdrawn is $2 with a maximum of $1 million. Although IQ Option processes withdrawal requests within a day, how soon you’ll get the payment varies. Banks typically take between 7 and 9 days, while for an e-wallet it is about one day.
