Investizo vs Tickmill

Tickmill is licensed by FCA in the United Kingdom, CySEC in the European Union, FSCA in South Africa and DFSA in the United Arab Emirates (DIFC), and also has an offshore registration. The licence that applies to you depends on where you live, so check which company you would contract with before comparing anything else.

Minimum deposits start at $10 at Investizo and $100 at Tickmill. Only Investizo offers negative balance protection. Only Tickmill offers segregated client money.

Our notes

Strengths
  • Low published minimum deposit of $10 on both MT4 accounts
  • The terms say negative balances are reset to zero once an account has no open positions
  • Margin call (100%) and stop-out (20%) levels are published
  • Swap-free status is available on all accounts, plus copy trading and a free VPS for automated trading
  • UK and EU companies licensed by the FCA (717270) and CySEC (278/15), with FSCS and ICF cover for eligible clients
  • Raw account with spreads from 0.0 pips and a $3 commission per lot per side
  • No withdrawal fees from Tickmill and a $100 minimum deposit on Classic and Raw
Watch out for
  • Investizo does not claim a licence from any financial regulator. Its company is registered in St Vincent and the Grenadines, which is a company registration, not a licence. Its own roadmap says it plans to apply for an FSC Mauritius licence in late 2027
  • The Securities Commission Malaysia added Investizo to its Investor Alert List of unauthorised entities on 20 December 2024.
  • Leverage up to 1:1000, or 1:2000 on forex with a promo code, and the terms let the company change your leverage at any time without prior notice
  • The fee pages disagree: the terms say no withdrawal fees, but the payments page lists 5.5% + $4 on card withdrawals. Typical spreads and the ECN commission per lot are not fully published
  • Clients of the global site join Tickmill Ltd, which holds only an offshore licence from the FSA Seychelles
  • The global site's risk warning says losses can exceed the initial investment; negative balance protection is a rule for UK and EU retail clients, not stated for the Seychelles company
  • The FCA has warned about clone firms using Tickmill UK's details (FX Profit Broker / FXPB / Armada Markets UK LTD and FxoptionTrade Limited)

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:

  • Investizo: CFDs are complex financial products traded on margin. Trading CFDs is risky and may not be suitable for all investors. Ensure you understand the risks involved as you may lose all your invested capital.
  • Tickmill: Risk Warning: Trading financial products on margin carries a high degree of risk and is not suitable for all investors. Losses can exceed the initial investment. Please ensure you fully understand the risks and take appropriate care to manage your risk.

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.
