Our notes

Strengths
  • EU company Notely Trading Ltd is licensed by CySEC (licence 383/20, checked on the CySEC register)
  • Negative balance protection is written into the Seychelles terms, so losses are capped at your account balance
  • Client money held separately from company funds, plus a civil liability insurance policy of up to €1,000,000
  • Choice of MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, cTrader and TradingView
  • Licensed by strict regulators in the UK, EU, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Japan and the US
  • UK client money is held in segregated accounts under FCA client money rules
  • No deposit or withdrawal fees and no fees for opening or closing trades on the UK site; costs are in the spread
Watch out for
  • Clients outside the EU join the Seychelles company, which holds only an offshore licence and offers leverage up to 1:1000
  • Minimum deposits and spreads for the Premium, VIP and Tailor Made accounts are not shown on the public account page
  • Dormant accounts pay $15 and then $5 a month, and a fee of up to 5% can apply to withdrawals made without trading
  • Plus500 says Plus500CA Ltd is a CIRO investment dealer and Plus500IL is regulated by Israel's ISA. We could not find Plus500CA on CIRO's dealer list or reach the ISA register on 2026-10-20.
  • Only Plus500's own platform; no MetaTrader or TradingView accounts
  • The FCA has warned about clone sites using Plus500's name, including plus500un.com, plus500v.com, p500.io and p500.online
  • No minimum deposit we could confirm on the current UK site; check it in the app before you fund

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:

  • Errante: Our products are traded on margin and carry a high level of risk and it is possible to lose all your capital. These products may not be suitable for everyone and you should ensure that you understand the risks involved.

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.
