Equiti Overview
Multi-entity broker with genuine FCA and CySEC licenses, strong Middle East roots, and a competitive Islamic account — but mixed withdrawal reputation and standard spreads that lag ECN-focused rivals.

Independently verifiable licences include Equiti Capital UK Limited — FCA FRN 528328 (UK); Equiti Global Markets Ltd — CySEC CIF 415/22 (Cyprus). Regulatory coverage is solid, though some entities operate under lighter offshore licences — check which one you are onboarded to.
EUR/USD spreads start around 0 pips on the raw/ECN account (about 1.4 pips on the standard, commission-free account), with $7 round turn ($3.50/side) on Premier/ECN account; $0 on Classic and Standard commission. The minimum deposit is $0 (Classic); $30 (Standard); $100 (Premier) — per Seychelles entity. Some third-party sources cite $500 for a different entity tier. and maximum retail leverage is 1:30 on major FX pairs (FCA/CySEC-regulated entities); up to 1:2000 on offshore/Seychelles entity (highly aggressive, unsuitable for most retail traders). Swap-free (Islamic) trading is offered conditionally — Swap-Free Mini Account available on MT5 only, for deposits up to $25,000; no admin fees below that threshold (profits that push balance above $25k do not trigger fees). Swaps still apply to exotic currency pairs and certain CFDs. Conversion to Islamic account requires contacting support — not self-service. Standard Islamic account available on Executive/Premier accounts on request..
Platforms include MT4, MT5, MQ WebTrader. Equiti provides ~500+ CFDs: 60+ forex pairs, 350 stocks/shares, 16 indices, 12 commodities, 15 cryptocurrencies, ETFs, gold option CFDs across Forex, funded via Bank wire transfer, Visa/Mastercard (credit and debit), Apple Pay, Google Pay, Skrill, Neteller.
Equiti (formerly Divisa Capital) is a legitimate, well-regulated group with real FCA and CySEC oversight for European and UK clients — credentials that matter and are publicly verifiable. Its Islamic/swap-free offering is among the more thoughtfully structured in the industry, making it a reasonable pick for Muslim traders in the MENA region. However, the offshore Seychelles entity's extreme 1:2000 leverage is a red flag, and a persistent thread of withdrawal complaints on Trustpilot (3.1/5) and review forums demands caution; traders should use the UK or Cyprus entity and confirm they are dealing with the regulated entity before depositing.
