Our notes
Strengths
- Licences confirmed with the FSCA in South Africa, the CMA in Kenya and the UAE's Capital Market Authority
- Low $10 minimum deposit on the Standard account and no withdrawal fees from Exness
- Exness says client money is held in segregated accounts and retail accounts have negative balance protection
- Royal Financial Trading (Cy) Ltd holds CySEC licence 312/16, confirmed on the CySEC register, for EU clients

Watch out for
- Most retail clients join offshore companies (FSA Seychelles or BVI FSC), and the strictly regulated UK and Cyprus companies do not accept retail clients
- Exness also says it holds licences from the Central Bank of Curaçao and Sint Maarten (Exness B.V., 0003LSI), the FSC of Belize (Forexite Ltd., 9110312), the FSC of Mauritius (Exness (MU) Ltd, GB20025294), the Jordan Securities Commission (Exness Limited Jordan) and an FSCA ODP authorisation for Exness (SC) Ltd. We could not confirm these on the regulators' registers on 2026-10-20.
- Leverage up to 1:Unlimited and a 0% stop-out mean a position can be closed only when your margin is gone
- International clients of oneroyal.com sign with Royal ETP LLC (St Vincent) or Royal CM Limited (Vanuatu), both offshore; St Vincent registration is not a licence
- The ASIC licence (AFSL 420268) covers wholesale clients only
- Leverage up to 1:1000 and deposit bonuses on oneroyal.com
- Withdrawal fees apply if you have traded less than 2 lots since your last deposit

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:
- Exness: Risk Warning: Our services relate to complex derivative instruments requiring appropriate knowledge and understanding. Their prices may fluctuate rapidly and may become valueless. Trading involves a high risk of loss, with traders likely to incur losses exceeding the potential for profits. Losses may extend up to the full amount of funds in the trading account. Under no circumstances shall Exness have any liability to any person or entity for any loss or damage in whole or part caused by, resulting from, or relating to any investing activity.
- OneRoyal: Online trading in leveraged Foreign Exchange and CFD instruments carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. Leveraged trading can result in significant losses as well as potential profits. Before deciding to invest in margin instruments, carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. You should not risk more than you can afford to lose. Always ensure you understand the risks involved and seek independent financial advice if necessary.

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.
