Playbook: Audit deposit-method coverage on a forex offer before promoting it

What it is: A checklist to verify a broker's deposit options actually work in your traffic's GEO, so FTDs don't die at the cashier.

Best for: Affiliates whose registrations convert fine but FTD rate is mysteriously low.

The audit:
— Map your top traffic GEOs to the broker's available deposit methods. A GEO with only wire transfer and no local cards will choke on FTDs.
— Check minimum deposit vs your lander's promise. If the ad implies $10 entry but the cashier demands $250, you've trained users to bounce.
— Test the cashier flow yourself on mobile in your main GEO. Most forex traffic is mobile; a desktop-only cashier is a silent killer.
— Confirm e-wallet and local payment support (regional cards, vouchers, crypto) where your audience actually pays.
— Note declined-card behavior: does the broker retry or dead-end? Dead-ends lose deposits the user wanted to make.

Pros:
— Explains 'good signups, bad FTDs' faster than any creative tweak
— Cheap to run — one test deposit and a methods table

Cons:
— You may not be able to test every GEO firsthand
— Brokers add/remove methods quietly; the audit needs re-running

Who should skip this: Affiliates promoting only in a single GEO they've already deposit-tested.

Verdict: Test the cashier yourself.
