A clone firm copies a real broker’s name, licence number and branding to take deposits. The register shows the genuine firm, so the surest check is the contact details: if the website, email or phone number you were given is not the one on the register, treat it as a clone.

Stop-out

Says LiteFinance Investment Limited holds Mauritius FSC licence GB20025921; we could not confirm it on the FSC Mauritius register on 2026-10-20, because the register blocked our access

Overview
LiteForex has held a Cyprus licence since 2008, and its global brand is now LiteFinance. In the European Economic Area the broker works through Liteforex (Europe) Ltd in Cyprus, which offers two accounts, Classic and ECN, on MetaTrader 4 and 5.
Regulation and safety
Liteforex (Europe) Ltd holds CySEC licence 093/08, granted on 8 August 2008. CySEC’s register lists its former names, Mayzus Investment Company Ltd and United World Capital Ltd, and its approved websites under liteforex.eu and liteforex.pl. Its address on the register (124 Gladstonos Street, Limassol) differs from the one on the website (30 Spyrou Kyprianou, Germasogeia), so expect paperwork to use either.
Clients outside the EEA are served through litefinance.org by other companies. LiteFinance Global LLC is registered in St Vincent and the Grenadines, which is a company registration, not a licence. LiteFinance Investment Limited says it holds Mauritius FSC licence GB20025921; the FSC register blocked our access, so we have not counted it. Our regulation guide explains the difference, and you can check a broker yourself.
Costs
At the EU company the Classic account has floating spreads from 2.0 points and no commission. ECN starts from 0.0 points plus a commission. LiteForex does not publish typical spreads; its instrument pages show live server spreads that change through the day. Watch them on a demo at the times you plan to trade. Swaps are charged on positions held overnight, and triple swaps apply from Wednesday to Thursday. See our trading costs guide.
Platforms and tools
Both EU accounts run on MT4 or MT5 with market execution. There are no minimum stop or limit distances, and the ECN account allows scalping and news trading. See MT4 vs MT5.
Deposits and withdrawals
The EU company accepts Visa and Mastercard from $10, bank transfers and several e-payment systems, and says it refunds deposit fees. Card payments are processed by Nuvei, an e-money firm regulated by the Central Bank of Cyprus. Dormant accounts are charged €3 a month.
Who it may suit

Is LiteFinance regulated?
Its EU company, Liteforex (Europe) Ltd, holds CySEC licence 093/08, which we checked on CySEC's register on 20 October 2026. LiteFinance says its Mauritius company holds FSC licence GB20025921, but we could not check that register. LiteFinance Global LLC in St Vincent and the Grenadines is a registered company, not a licensed one.
Which company will I join?
EEA residents join Liteforex (Europe) Ltd in Cyprus. Clients in other countries are served by LiteFinance Global LLC or LiteFinance Investment Limited. Only the Cyprus company gives you CySEC protection, so check the name in your client agreement.
What is the minimum deposit?
$50 for both Classic and ECN accounts at the EU company. We could not check the global site's minimums.
Can I lose more than I deposit?
The EU company offers negative balance protection on both accounts, so retail losses are capped at your balance. LiteForex's EU risk warning says 81% of retail CFD accounts lose money with this provider.
