Derived from the same confirmed data behind this broker's score (regulation, cost, platforms, deposit minimum) -- not a separate editorial judgment.
Via its CySEC-regulated Cyprus entity, eligible clients are covered by Cyprus's Investor Compensation Fund (ICF) up to €20,000 per person if the firm fails.
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 | Reported as a single standardized account (sometimes called the "T1 Account") with relatively low spreads and no commission, rather than a multi-tier lineup. Note: "Standard/Standard Plus/Standard Pro" tiers that turn up in some searches belong to a different, similarly-named broker (FXTRADING.COM) -- not this one. |
|---|---|
| Execution model | Not explicitly confirmed as ECN, STP, or market maker in available sources; one source describes pricing on a "best execution" basis without further detail. |
| Withdrawals & deposits | Deposits reported as fee-free. Minimum withdrawal is disputed between sources -- $20 (one comparison site) vs $25 (another, for the US entity). Base account currencies offered: AUD, CHF, EUR, GBP, HUF, PLN, USD, with a conversion fee applying if you deposit or trade in a different one (see below). One UK Trustpilot review describes a withdrawal held roughly 30 days pending a requested bank statement that apparently wasn't required at deposit; the company's reply said it couldn't locate a matching account, suggesting possible confusion with a different, similarly-named broker rather than a confirmed dispute with this one. Overall Trustpilot sentiment is mixed-to-positive (around 4/5, ~70+ reviews), with the company actively replying to negative reviews. |
| Overnight financing (swap) | Not found -- no specific swap rates or markup figures were located. |
| Currency conversion cost | Confirmed to apply when depositing or trading in a currency other than your account's base currency, per an independent comparison site, but no specific percentage was found. |
| Inactivity fee | $10/month after 12 consecutive months with no account activity, per one comparison site (not cross-verified against a second independent source). |
| Customer service | Mixed: UK Trustpilot sits around 4/5, with positive reviews citing helpful named agents and fast verification, and negative reviews citing unhelpful phone support and the withdrawal dispute described above. The company responds to most negative reviews asking the reviewer to contact support directly. |
| Mobile experience | One app-store aggregator lists a 4.8-star rating (734 ratings) for the "Trading.com US" app; the app also won a 2024 industry award for its EU/UK mobile experience. A separately-cited "4.9 star" figure in one comparison table wasn't clearly attributed to this broker, so it isn't included here as confirmed. |
| Educational offering | Described by one comparison site as offering "generally decent" educational material including webinars, without further independent assessment of depth or quality. |
