Exness Review

Exness offers one of the most competitive fee structures in the industry for 2026. The broker charges no inactivity fees, no deposit fees, and no internal withdrawal fees - third-party payment provider fees may apply. Standard accounts are commission-free with spreads from 1.0 pips on EUR/USD. Professional accounts (Pro, Raw Spread, Zero) require a $200 minimum but offer significantly tighter spreads. The Pro account offers spreads from 0.6 pips with no commission - often the lowest overall cost for most traders. Raw Spread accounts offer 0.0 pip spreads with a $3.50 per lot per side commission ($7 round turn). Zero accounts feature 0.0 pip spreads on major pairs for 90-95% of the trading day with variable commissions from $0.20 to $8.00 per lot depending on the instrument.

Exness maintains a robust regulatory framework with licenses from multiple jurisdictions including CySEC, FCA (for B2B/professional services), FSCA, FSA Seychelles, FSC Mauritius, CBCS Curaçao, and CMA Kenya. The broker stands out for its exceptional transparency, publishing monthly financial reports audited by Deloitte. Client funds are held in segregated accounts at top-tier banks, and negative balance protection is provided to all clients globally. However, retail traders from the EU, UK, US, Canada, and Australia are typically not accepted due to regulatory restrictions, with most retail clients onboarded through the FSA Seychelles entity to access unlimited leverage.

Exness is the undisputed industry leader in deposit and withdrawal processing speed. The broker's automated withdrawal system processes requests in seconds - often within 3-5 seconds 24/7 including weekends. Exness charges no internal deposit or withdrawal fees, though third-party payment providers may apply their own charges. The broker supports an impressive 11 base currencies including USD, EUR, GBP, and various African and Asian currencies. Minimum deposits are just $10 for Standard accounts and $200 for professional accounts. Deposit options include credit/debit cards, e-wallets (Skrill, Neteller, Perfect Money), cryptocurrency (USDT, Bitcoin), and local bank transfers in many regions.

Exness offers a fast and streamlined account opening process that can be completed in minutes. The broker requires standard KYC documentation including ID verification and proof of address. Exness provides five distinct account types: Standard and Standard Cent for beginners (from $10), and Pro, Raw Spread, and Zero accounts for professional traders ($200 minimum). One of Exness's standout features is unlimited leverage on Standard accounts - available when account equity is below certain thresholds under specific conditions. Demo accounts are free and unlimited, and Islamic swap-free accounts are available upon request.

Exness offers the Exness Trade app, a proprietary mobile application that provides a clean, fast, and feature-rich trading experience. Rated 4.7/5 on iOS and 4.5/5 on Android, the app integrates full trading functionality, account management, instant deposits/withdrawals, and unique features like sentiment analysis and an in-app trading calculator. The app supports biometric login for enhanced security and push notifications for price alerts. Traders can also use the standard MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 mobile apps for a more traditional trading experience.

Exness provides multiple desktop trading options including the proprietary Exness Terminal (web-based), MetaTrader 4, and MetaTrader 5. The Exness Terminal is a modern web-based platform featuring TradingView charts, fast execution, and a clean interface accessible from any browser. MT4 remains popular for forex trading and EAs, while MT5 offers enhanced features including depth of market and more timeframes. Exness provides free VPS hosting for qualifying traders to enable 24/7 automated trading. The broker also offers Social Trading for copy trading functionality.

Exness offers a comprehensive range of CFD instruments covering forex, cryptocurrencies, commodities, indices, and stock CFDs. With over 100 forex pairs available (significantly above industry average), Exness provides excellent diversification for currency traders. The broker also offers 35+ cryptocurrencies with high leverage (up to 400:1), competitive gold trading conditions, and 70+ stock CFDs. However, stock selection is more limited compared to dedicated stock CFD brokers, and there are no ETFs or bonds available. Leverage options are among the most flexible in the industry, with unlimited leverage available on Standard accounts under certain conditions.
