One of XM's biggest draws is how low the entry bar is. But the actual minimum depends on which account type you pick, and how fast your money shows up depends on the payment method you use.

Why Hasn't My Deposit Arrived?
The most common causes: identity verification isn't complete yet, a name mismatch between the payment method and your account details, or a delay on the bank's or payment provider's side. If it's taken longer than the estimated window, contact XM support directly through their official live chat.
