IFC Markets vs Vittaverse

IFC Markets is licensed by Labuan FSA in Labuan, Malaysia, and also has an offshore registration. Vittaverse has no licence we could confirm on a regulator's register.

Minimum deposits start at $15 at IFC Markets (the Classic Standard (fixed spread) account needs $1,000) and $1 at Vittaverse. Both offer negative balance protection. Only Vittaverse offers segregated client money.

Our notes

Strengths
  • Fixed 1.8-pip EUR/USD spread on Classic accounts, so costs are known in advance
  • Micro and Nano accounts from $15
  • Choice of NetTradeX, MT4 and MT5, with hedging or netting on MT5 and NetTradeX
  • 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
  • Licensed only in the BVI (offshore) and Labuan; no FCA, ASIC, CySEC or similar licence
  • Stop-out level of only 10%, so positions are closed late and losses can run far
  • Monthly inactivity fee of up to $10 after 12 months without trading
  • Standard accounts need a $1,000 first deposit
  • 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:

  • IFC Markets: Your capital is at risk. Leveraged products may not be suitable for everyone.
  • 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.
