Our notes

Strengths
  • UK company authorised by the FCA and EU company licensed by CySEC, both strict regulators
  • Client money held in segregated accounts, with negative balance protection for all clients
  • Raw+ account costs about $9.60 per lot on EUR/USD, against about $14.90 on Standard
  • 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 UK and EU usually join the Bahamas company, with lighter rules and no FSCS or ICF cover
  • Leverage at the Bahamas company is dynamic with no fixed cap on major pairs, which magnifies losses
  • Live accounts are disabled after 3 months of inactivity
  • 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:

  • FxPro: CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. Please ensure you fully 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.
