By The Broker Almanac desk· Research & first-hand testing· First-hand testing method
Good for

Traders who withdraw often and want low spreads on majors and gold.

Not for

Residents of the US, UK, EU, Canada or Australia (not accepted).

Fees, explained

The real cost of a trade is the spread plus any commission plus funding and withdrawal fees — not the headline number a broker markets. Our live-spread measurement on Exness is in progress; rather than repeat figures we have not verified, we publish the average EUR/USD spread only once we have captured it ourselves from a funded account.

Testing Average EUR/USD spread and withdrawal timing for Exness: measurement in progress. Check back — we date-stamp every figure when it lands.

Regulation & safety

Exness operates under 5 regulatory licences: FCA (UK), CySEC (Cyprus), FSCA (South Africa), FSA (Seychelles), CBCS. Regulation is not a guarantee against loss — leverage and volatility do the damage — but it tells you who you can complain to and how client funds are meant to be handled. Always trade with the entity that actually onboards your country.

Opening an account

  1. Register with your email and verify it.
  2. Complete identity verification (KYC) — a government ID and proof of address.
  3. Fund the account using Bank transfer, Card, USDT, Local NGN gateways.
  4. Start on a demo. Size positions small. Keep a trading journal from day one.

The honest cons

  • Not available to US / UK / EU / CA / AU residents
  • High leverage magnifies losses - a risk, not a feature
  • No fixed-spread accounts

What we like

  • Instant / same-day withdrawals in practice (we are timing this now)
  • Raw Spread and Zero accounts for low all-in cost
  • Accepts Nigerian bank, card and USDT deposits
  • Multi-jurisdiction regulation incl. FCA and CySEC entities
