XTB is regulated by FCA (UK), CySEC (Cyprus), KNF (Poland), CNMV (Spain), BaFin (Germany), DFSA (UAE), IFSC (Belize). Independently verifiable licences include CySEC CIF 169/12. It ranks among the most trusted, tier-1-regulated brokers in this comparison.
EUR/USD spreads are around 0.9 pips, with $0 (Standard CFD accounts; legacy Pro account charged ~$7 round-turn but is no longer offered to new clients) commission. The minimum deposit is $0 (no minimum) and maximum retail leverage is 1:30 (EU/UK retail), 1:500 (non-EU/offshore entities). Swap-free (Islamic) trading is offered conditionally — Available via XTB International (non-EU/UK) entity only; UK and EU clients are not eligible. Swap-free applies to specific instruments and specific holding periods only — not all products qualify. An admin fee replaces swap charges. Clients must open a separate swap-free account (existing accounts cannot be converted). No public fatwa or independent Sharia certification has been issued as of mid-2025..
Platforms include xStation 5, MT4. XTB provides ~11,000+ (including ~2,300 CFDs on forex, indices, commodities, crypto, stock CFDs, ETF CFDs; plus real stocks and ETFs for investing accounts) across Forex, funded via Bank transfer, Credit/debit card, PayPal (select regions), Skrill (2% fee), Neteller (1% fee).
XTB stands out for its exceptional regulatory depth — FCA, CySEC, KNF, and several other top-tier licenses, backed by a Warsaw Stock Exchange listing that adds a layer of public accountability rare among CFD brokers. The zero-commission structure and no minimum deposit make it genuinely accessible, and xStation 5 is one of the most polished proprietary platforms in the retail space. The main weaknesses are the retirement of the raw-spread Pro account for new clients, the absence of MT5/cTrader for algorithmic traders, and a meaningful 2026 KNF regulatory fine that warrants monitoring as a conduct-of-business flag.

As with all trading, your capital is at risk. Confirm which entity, licence and protections apply to your country on the regulator’s register before funding an account.
