Our notes

Strengths
  • 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
  • Licensed by strict regulators in the US, UK, EU, Canada, Australia, Singapore and Japan
  • No minimum account balance and no deposit or withdrawal fees on the UK site
  • Guaranteed stop-loss orders available in the UK (for a fee)
Watch out for
  • 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
  • Clients outside the countries with a local OANDA company may be placed with OANDA Global Markets Ltd, which holds only an offshore licence from the BVI FSC
  • UK inactivity fee after 12 months without trading, up to £20 a month
  • The NFA's BASIC record for OANDA Corporation lists past NFA and CFTC regulatory actions; read them there before you open a US 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:

  • 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.
  • OANDA: CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. 76.6% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs with this provider. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.

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.
