Beyond the headline spread and minimum deposit above. Where our research hasn't independently confirmed a specific detail, we say so rather than guess -- verify directly with the broker before relying on it.
| Account types | Cent, Classic, ECN, Prime and VIP tiers (availability varies by jurisdiction). Classic: minimum deposit $50, no commission, spreads from 1.4 pips. ECN: raw spreads from 0.0 pips, commission from $3.50/lot. Minimum deposits range from $5 to $5,000 across tiers, with demo and Islamic/swap-free accounts also offered. |
|---|---|
| Execution model | Sources describe it inconsistently -- as a hybrid of dealing-desk, STP and ECN depending on account, while OneRoyal's own marketing describes itself simply as STP. This discrepancy wasn't resolved and is worth confirming directly. |
| Withdrawals & deposits | Over 50 payment methods are cited, with withdrawal fees said to vary by method. One source reports Neteller withdrawals being subject to an unusual 7-business-day wait after a deposit, though this wasn't independently corroborated elsewhere. Minimum deposit $5. |
| Overnight financing (swap) | Islamic/swap-free accounts are available; no benchmark-rate-plus-markup methodology was found for standard accounts. |
| Currency conversion cost | Not found -- no specific fee or percentage was located. |
| Inactivity fee | Not found after a targeted search -- genuinely unconfirmed either way. |
| Customer service | 24/7 support via live chat, email and phone (5 dedicated lines), plus Instagram DM and Facebook Messenger, in multiple languages. Its Trustpilot rating is currently unavailable due to a stated breach of Trustpilot's guidelines, though individual reviews remain visible and are mixed -- five-star praise alongside one-star complaints about platform issues and bonus terms. |
| Mobile experience | Not found -- no App Store or Google Play rating was located. |
| Educational offering | A "Knowledge Hub"/Academy offers articles, videos and market updates, with a named analyst hosting webinars and live sessions spanning forex basics to AI-in-trading topics; independent commentary on substance wasn't found. |
