Exness is a high-volume, ultra-competitive-cost broker built around tight spreads and instant withdrawals, with a caveat: its tier-1 regulated EU/UK entities are B2B-only, so most retail traders operate under offshore licences.
Exness is regulated by FCA (UK) — B2B/institutional only, no retail onboarding, CySEC (Cyprus) — B2B/institutional only, no retail onboarding, FSCA (South Africa), FSA (Seychelles), BVI FSC (British Virgin Islands), CMA (Kenya), JSC (Jordan), CBCS (Curaçao), FSC (Mauritius). Independently verifiable licences include CySEC — Exness (Cy) Ltd, CIF 178/12; FCA (UK) — Exness (UK) Ltd, FRN 730729. Regulatory protection is more limited and leans on offshore licensing, so verify the entity you sign up with before depositing.
EUR/USD spreads start around 0 pips on the raw/ECN account (about 1 pips on the standard, commission-free account), with $7 round-turn (Raw Spread); from ~$0.40 round-turn (Zero, variable per instrument) commission. The minimum deposit is ~$10 (Standard/Standard Cent); ~$200 (Pro, Raw Spread, Zero) — varies by payment method and region and maximum retail leverage is 1:30 (FCA/CySEC entities, but retail not onboarded); up to 1:2000 standard / unlimited (equity <$1,000, qualifying traders) on offshore entities (Seychelles, BVI). Swap-free (Islamic) trading is offered conditionally — Auto-assigned to accounts registered from Islamic countries; available on request for others. Applies account-wide across all account types. Major forex pairs are indefinitely free of overnight charges. A fixed admin fee replaces swaps on certain instruments (some crypto CFDs, select exotics) if positions are held beyond ~3 days. Swap-free status cannot be converted back once changed; abuse results in cancellation..
Platforms include MT4, MT5, TradingView, Exness Trade. Exness provides ~200 instruments on web terminal; ~350 on MT5 (78+ forex pairs, 30 crypto CFDs, 10+ indices, 100+ stock CFDs, commodities) across Forex, Crypto, Indices, Commodities, Stocks, funded via Bank cards (Visa, Mastercard), Bank wire transfer, Skrill, Neteller, WebMoney, Perfect Money.
Exness excels on trading costs — Raw Spread from 0.0 pips plus $7 round-turn is genuinely competitive, and the Standard account's ~1.0-pip spread with zero commission is solid for casual traders. Operationally it punches above its weight: instant withdrawals, 24/7 support, and unlimited leverage for qualifying accounts set it apart from most peers. The significant regulatory caveat is that its tier-1 FCA and CySEC licences are reserved for institutional/B2B use; retail clients are served through FSA Seychelles or BVI FSC entities, which offer materially weaker investor protections (no compensation schemes, lighter capital rules). Traders who prioritise regulatory safety should factor this prominently.
