Our notes
Strengths
- Licensed by ASIC, the FCA and CySEC, all strict regulators
- Published commissions per currency on the Premium account (for example $4.50 or €4.00 per standard contract)
- Bank transfers and payments under US$50,000 a month are free to deposit
- EU company licensed by CySEC since 2008, with Cyprus Investor Compensation Fund cover
- Negative balance protection on both EU account types
- $50 minimum deposit and a choice of MT4 or MT5
Watch out for
- International clients join AxiTrader LLC, a St Vincent and the Grenadines company (4303 LLC 2025) that is registered, not licensed; its risk warning says you can lose substantially more than your initial investment.
- Axi publishes minimum spreads only, not typical spreads
- The St Vincent company charges a monthly inactivity fee after 12 months and may charge US$25 for withdrawals under US$50
- The FSCA's OTC derivative provider list shows AxiCorp Financial Services Pty Ltd's application as Withdrawn, so Axi has no South African licence we could confirm.
- 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
- Clients outside the EEA deal with LiteFinance Global LLC, a St Vincent and the Grenadines company with no financial licence
- litefinance.org could not be reached from our network on 2026-10-20, so we have not checked the global company's accounts, leverage or fees
- Dormant EU accounts are charged €3 a month

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:
- Axi: Over-the-counter derivatives are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing substantially more than your initial investment rapidly due to leverage. You should consider whether you understand how over-the-counter derivatives work and whether you can afford to take the high level of risk to your capital.

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.
