Our notes

Strengths
  • Three account types with negative balance protection on each
  • Commission-free Standard account; ECN and Zero accounts for raw spreads
  • MetaTrader 4 and 5, its own app and a copy-trading service
  • FIBO Group, Ltd. is listed by the BVI FSC as a currently regulated investment business (dealing as agent and principal, arranging deals)
  • Wide choice of platforms and accounts, including cent accounts that open from 1 cent
  • Spreads from 0 pips on NDD accounts with commission charged as a percentage of trade value
Watch out for
  • Says AMarkets LTD holds Mwali International Services Authority (MISA) licence T2023284; we could not confirm it on MISA's register on 2026-10-20, because the register sits behind a bot check
  • Its other companies are registrations in the Cook Islands and St Vincent and the Grenadines, not financial licences
  • No licence from a strict regulator; not available in the UK, EU, EEA or US
  • Leverage up to 1:3000 on every account
  • The BVI licence is offshore and there is no compensation scheme
  • We found no negative balance protection or client money segregation commitment in the customer agreement; it lets FIBO cover a negative balance from your other accounts
  • Leverage up to 1:5000 on the MT5 Cent account
  • FIBO's former Cyprus company no longer appears on CySEC's list of investment firms; EU clients have no EU-licensed FIBO company

Risk warnings

The buttons to a broker’s website above the table are partner links: we may earn a commission if you open an account through them. That never changes the facts shown here. Trading leveraged products such as forex and CFDs carries a high risk of losing money rapidly, and most retail accounts lose money. Each broker’s own warning:

  • FIBO Group: Forex trading involves significant risk, including the potential loss of all invested funds. It may not be suitable for everyone. Please assess your risk tolerance carefully.

Open this comparison in the full tool to share a link with your own accounts and companies chosen.

Other head-to-head pages

Cost per lot is the typical EUR/USD spread in busy hours × $10, plus any round-turn commission, for one standard lot. “Not yet checked” means we have not confirmed that fact yet. This page compares facts; it does not rank the brokers or recommend either. Confirm costs and licences on each broker’s site and the regulator’s public register before opening an account: see how we review brokers and check a broker yourself.

Nothing on this page is financial advice. Read the full disclaimer.
