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
  • Low entry point, with a Standard account from $1 (most payment methods need at least $15)
  • Publishes margin call and stop-out levels and lists negative balance protection on every account
  • Choice of MetaTrader 5 and cTrader
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
  • Says it operates under FSC Mauritius; we could not find any Vittaverse company on the FSC Mauritius register on 2026-10-20, and the site gives no licence number
  • The client agreement is with Vittaverse Ltd, registered in St Vincent and the Grenadines (26879 BC 2022); that is a company registration, not a licence
  • No licence from any regulator that we could confirm
  • Leverage up to 1:2000 and deposit bonuses on the Standard account

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.
  • Vittaverse: Trading in financial products involves a high degree of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. Leveraged trading can amplify both gains and losses. You may lose some or all of your invested capital, and in certain circumstances, losses may exceed your initial deposit. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Please ensure you fully understand the risks involved and seek independent financial advice if necessary.

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.
