Overview

easyMarkets (formerly easy-forex) was founded in 2001 and is licensed in Cyprus, with further licences in Australia, the Seychelles and the British Virgin Islands.

Which entity serves you

EU residents are served by Easy Forex Trading Ltd, licensed by CySEC, with ESMA protections.

Distinctive features

Fixed spreads make costs predictable, and free guaranteed stops cap losses on individual trades. dealCancellation allows you to cancel a losing trade within a short window by paying a fee – a form of insurance priced into your costs.

Our view

A trader-friendly offer for people who want certainty over costs and stop execution. Active traders may find raw-spread accounts cheaper.

Licences on record

Brands often operate several companies. The one that onboards you depends on where you live, and that company's regulator decides your protection. Confirm the entity on the official register before you deposit.

Verify easyMarkets yourself

  1. Find the exact company name in the footer of the website and in the client agreement you are asked to sign.
  2. Search that name on the register of the regulator listed for your country (links above). Make sure the register shows the same website domain.
  3. Check warning lists for look-alike names: IOSCO I-SCAN covers alerts from regulators worldwide.
  4. Never download remote-access software or move money because someone "from the broker" phoned you. How clone-firm scams work.
