Equiti review.

Overview

TrueBroker is a free broker safety checker, and this page is our review of Equiti, scored 6.7 out of 10 across regulation, fees, platform, support and reviews.

Equiti is not one company but a brand run across at least eight separately regulated or registered entities, and which one actually holds a reader’s account depends on where that reader lives. We checked eight public registers directly and confirmed most of the entities Equiti names on its own regional pages, though not always the exact licence numbers the firm quotes.

Which Equiti entity actually holds an account

Equiti Securities Currencies Brokers LLC is confirmed on the UAE Securities and Commodities Authority (Securities and Commodities Authority) register, listed as CP-0000791, status Active, since 2022; the register publishes that CP code rather than the two licence numbers the firm quotes on its contact page (20200000026 and 20200000352), so the company is confirmed and the numbers are not. Equiti Capital UK Ltd is confirmed on the FCA register, Authorised, firm reference 528328, but the FCA’s authorisation covers UK clients only. Equiti Global Markets is confirmed on the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) register under licence 415/22, and that licence covers EU clients only. International clients outside these regions are onboarded by Equiti Brokerage (Seychelles) Limited, confirmed by the Financial Services Authority of Seychelles as a regulated securities dealer, though the register does not publish the SD064 number the firm quotes. EGM Securities Limited (trading as FXPesa) is confirmed on Kenya’s Capital Markets Authority register under licence 107 and licence 120. Equiti Group Limited (Jordan) is confirmed on the Jordan Securities Commission‘s list of licensed financial services companies, though that list carries no licence numbers and is headed “till 8th June 2022”. We hold no register entry for the Central Bank of Armenia, so Equiti AM’s claimed licensing there has not been checked. We also searched 1441 warning-list entries mirrored from CySEC, the FCA and the FSC Mauritius, and Equiti appears on none of them; the FCA register does list three unrelated clone domains, cityequities.co.uk, equitixincome.com and hibiscusequities.com, each named as a clone of an authorised firm, which are not this broker.

What Equiti charges and offers

Equiti’s own accounts page lists four tiers: Classic (no minimum deposit, leverage to 1:2000, a 1.6 pip average spread, $0 commission), Standard ($30 minimum, leverage up to 1:2000, 1.4 pip average spread), Premier (from $100, spreads from 0.0 pips plus a $3.5 per lot per side commission), and a Micro account capped at 1:500 leverage. A “Welcome Bonus” of 30% trading credit appears on the firm’s UAE and Australia pages; per that same FAQ the credit cannot offset trading losses, cannot be withdrawn, is forfeited on any withdrawal or transfer or if the client’s own equity falls to 5% or less of total equity, and fixes leverage at 500:1 for as long as it is held. On withdrawals, the firm’s own fee page sets a 1% fee up to $30 on e-wallet withdrawals, a flat $30 on international bank transfers, and a 0.5% to 1% fee, under the terms and conditions, on accounts it deems low, inactive, non-performing, suspicious or irregular.

Overview Table

Facts List

• The Equiti brand runs through at least eight entities across the UAE, Jordan, Seychelles, UK, Kenya, Cyprus and Armenia, each carrying its own licence scope.
• The FCA authorisation held by Equiti Capital UK Ltd (FRN 528328) covers UK clients only; the CySEC licence held by Equiti Global Markets (415/22) covers EU clients only.
• The UAE SCA register confirms Equiti Securities Currencies Brokers LLC as CP-0000791, Active since 2022, but does not display the two licence numbers the firm quotes on its own contact page.
• We searched 1441 warning-list entries mirrored from CySEC, the FCA and FSC Mauritius and found no match against Equiti; three FCA-listed clone domains carrying similar names are not this firm.
• Four account tiers are advertised: Classic, Standard ($30 minimum), Premier (from $100, commission-based), and a Micro account limited to 1:500 leverage.
• A 30% Welcome Bonus credit, where offered, cannot offset losses, cannot be withdrawn, is forfeited on withdrawal or transfer or if equity drops to 5% or below, and cuts leverage to 500:1 while active.
• Withdrawal fees run 1% up to $30 on e-wallets, a flat $30 on international bank transfers, and 0.5% to 1% on accounts the firm classes as low, inactive or irregular.
• Trading platforms are MT4, MT5, MQ WebTrader and the Equiti Trader app; copy trading runs on a separate Equiti Copy platform limited to swap-enabled Standard or Premium accounts.
• The Jordan entity’s own navigation advertises a narrower product range, forex, indices, commodities, shares and ETFs, without the crypto CFDs and futures shown elsewhere on the site.
• An earlier review of Equiti reported that the protection excludes open positions left unclosed because of a platform disruption or malfunction.

Key Takeaways

Equiti’s regulatory footprint checks out where the register lets us look. The UAE Capital Market Authority lists Equiti Securities Currencies Brokers LLC as CP 0000791, status Active, listed since 2022, though the register publishes that CP code rather than either of the licence numbers (20200000026, 20200000352) the firm quotes on its own contact page, so the company is confirmed and the numbers are not. The Jordan Securities Commission lists Equiti Group Limited on its roster of financial services companies licensed as Financial Broker for the Account of Others and for Financial Advisory, on a list headed “till 8th June 2022” that carries no licence numbers to check. The Seychelles FSA lists Equiti Brokerage (Seychelles) Ltd as a regulated securities dealer, again with no licence numbers published, so SD064 stays the firm’s own claim. The FCA register confirms Equiti Capital UK Limited as Authorised, firm reference 528328, found by name since the claim itself quotes no FRN. The Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission register confirms Equiti Global Markets Ltd holds an active investment firm licence, 415/22. Kenya’s Capital Markets Authority register lists EGM Securities Limited under a non dealing online foreign exchange broker licence and a derivatives brokers licence, though no licence number was quoted so none was checked there. Two claims fall outside our directory entirely and stay unchecked rather than confirmed or denied: Equiti AM’s claimed Central Bank of Armenia licence, and the Jordan company registration number 50248.

What the UAE and Seychelles filings show

Dubai’s Department of Economy and Tourism business directory lists EQUITI SECURITIES CURRENCIES BROKERS L.L.C as Active under DUL number BT8926, licence number 1007695, a different number from the 1642447 the firm quotes as its company registration. The Seychelles Business and Company Search shows Equiti Brokerage (Seychelles) Limited under registration C8428558, industry Business Services, against the firm’s own printed 8428558 1, with no status or incorporation date published. Both are company registries, not financial regulators, so they confirm the company exists and nothing about a licence to deal.

The warning list search and the clone sites

We searched 1,441 warning list entries mirrored from CySEC, the FCA and the FSC Mauritius, and Equiti appears on none of them. Before relying on that clean result we ran a positive control against nine registers, searching for a firm known to be listed, so an empty result here means absence rather than a broken search. The FCA register does carry three sites named after this firm that are not this firm: cityequities.co.uk, equitixincome.com and hibiscusequities.com, each listed as an unauthorised clone of an authorised firm. A reader searching for Equiti online could land on one of those instead.

Where the Welcome Bonus actually leaves a trader

Equiti’s UAE, Australia, Vietnam and UK pages advertise a Welcome Bonus of 30% extra trading credit on first deposit. The Trading Accounts FAQ states that credit sits in the MT5 credit field and cannot be used to offset trading losses, so the client bears the full loss from their own funds regardless of the bonus. The same FAQ states the credit is not withdrawable and is removed entirely if the client makes any withdrawal or transfer, or if the client’s own funds fall to 5% or less of total equity. While the bonus is active, account leverage is fixed at 500:1, a quarter of the 2000:1 maximum the account pages otherwise advertise, and only reverts once the bonus is removed.

What Equiti charges to withdraw

The fee page shows deposits by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, crypto and bank transfer all at $0, and domestic bank withdrawals at $0 too. Withdrawals through Skrill, Neteller or SenhorMoney cost 1% up to $30, and international bank transfer withdrawals cost a flat $30. Separately, the same page’s payment terms let Equiti charge 0.5% to 1% per withdrawal on accounts it deems low, inactive, non performing, suspicious or irregular, an exception the firm applies against its own marketed “Free Virtual Currency Withdrawals” line, at its own discretion over what counts as irregular.

Account tiers and the fine print around them

The accounts page lists four tiers: Classic with no minimum deposit and average spreads of 1.6 pips, Standard from a $30 minimum at 1.4 pips, Premier from $100 with spreads from 0.0 pips plus a $3.50 per lot per side commission, and Micro capped at 1:500 leverage. The same FAQ states account type and base currency cannot be changed once an account is created, citing regulatory rules, so a client who picks the wrong tier or currency has to open a separate account rather than correct the one they have.

A support and product picture that has moved since the last write up

An earlier review of this firm gave a Jordan phone number of +962 6 550 0404 and a generic support@equiti.com address; Equiti’s own contact pages instead show +962 6 550 8305 and entity specific addresses, support.ae@equiti.com for the UAE and support.sey@equiti.com for the Seychelles entity. That same earlier review also described a two tier account structure and stated Equiti ran no active promotions, both superseded by the four tier structure and live Welcome Bonus above. Copy trading, run through the separate Equiti Copy platform, is restricted to swap enabled Standard and Premier accounts and is explicitly unavailable on MT4, MT5 or the Equiti Trader mobile app, so a client wanting Islamic swap free conditions cannot combine that with copy trading at all.

Licenses & Regulation

Equiti is not one licensed entity but a group of separately regulated companies, and which one takes on a client depends on where that client lives. We checked eight public registers directly to see which of those entities actually hold what the group’s own pages claim.

The UAE entities

Equiti Securities Currencies Brokers LLC quotes two licence numbers on its UAE contact page, 20200000026 for a Category One licence to deal as a broker in unregulated derivatives and spot currency, and 20200000352 for a Category Five licence to arrange and advise. The UAE Securities and Commodities Authority register, referred to on Equiti’s own site as CMA and described in its legal footer as the authority “known previously as Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA)”, confirms the company: Equiti Securities Currencies Brokers LLC appears there as CP0000791, status Active, listed since 2022. The register publishes that CP code rather than either of the two numbers the firm quotes, so the company is confirmed and the specific licence numbers are not. Separately, EQUITI SECURITIES CURRENCIES BROKERS L.L.C is listed as Active in the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism business directory under DUL number BT8926, licence number 1007695. That confirms the company again, but the number the firm quotes for this registration, 1642447, is not the licence number the directory shows, and a company registration is not a financial services licence in any case.

Jordan, Seychelles and Kenya

Equiti Group Limited (Jordan) appears on the Jordan Securities Commission’s list of financial services companies licensed to perform activities at the foreign exchange market, licensed as Financial Broker for the Account of Others and for Financial Advisory. That list is headed “till 8th June 2022” and publishes no licence numbers, so the company is confirmed but nothing more granular is checkable. The firm’s Jordan company registration number, 50248, sits with an authority we hold no register entry for, so that figure has not been checked, a gap in our directory rather than a finding about the firm.

Equiti Brokerage (Seychelles) Limited, the entity that onboards international clients outside the UK, UAE, Jordan and Kenya, is listed by the Financial Services Authority of Seychelles as a regulated securities dealer under SD064. The FSA register does not publish licence numbers, so SD064 remains the firm’s own claim rather than something the register confirms. The same company appears on the Seychelles Business and Company Search under registration C8428558, industry Business Services. The firm prints this number as 8428558-1; the registry prints it as C8428558. That search publishes no status or incorporation date, and it is a company registry, not a financial regulator, so it confirms the company and never a licence.

EGM Securities, trading as FXPesa, is on the Capital Markets Authority of Kenya’s register of licensees, holding a non-dealing online foreign exchange broker licence (107) and a derivatives brokers licence (120), against the website fxpesa.com. The firm quoted no licence number for us to check against those, and the portal lists current licensees without showing status or licence dates.

What Equiti Capital UK Ltd covers, and what it does not

Equiti Capital UK Limited is on the Financial Conduct Authority register as Authorised, firm reference 528328, a number the register supplied rather than one the firm published on the page we checked. That authorisation is UK specific. By the group’s own pages, it covers UK clients only; readers outside the UK are onboarded instead by Equiti Brokerage (Seychelles) Limited or by the regional entities in the UAE, Jordan and Kenya. A reader outside the UK dealing with Equiti is not dealing with the FCA authorised entity, whatever the group’s brand name on the page in front of them.

Equiti Global Markets Ltd is confirmed on the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission’s register of investment firms as holding an active licence, 415/22. The ’22’ in that number lines up with a 2022 licensing date, though the CySEC page itself carries no separate date field for the entry. Like the UK entity, this licence is scoped: the group’s own pages describe the Cyprus entity as serving EU clients only, with international clients again routed to the Seychelles entity.

One claim we could not check at all: Equiti AM is named as regulated by the Central Bank of Armenia, and we hold no register entry for that authority, so this sits as an unverified claim rather than a confirmed or a failed one.

Warning lists, and sites that are not Equiti

We searched 1,441 warning list entries mirrored from CySEC, the FCA and the FSC Mauritius, and Equiti appears on none of them. Before relying on that absence we ran a positive control on nine registers, searching for a firm known to be listed, so an empty result here means absence rather than a broken search. Three other sites turned up on those same lists carrying Equiti-like names and are not this firm: cityequities.co.uk, equitixincome.com and hibiscusequities.com are each listed on the FCA register as a clone of an authorised firm, unauthorised, with the register not confirming which authorised firm any of the three is posing as. None of the three is Equiti under review here, but a reader searching online for Equiti risks landing on one of them by name alone.

How to Trade

What you can trade with Equiti

Equiti’s UAE contact page lists forex (60+ currency pairs across majors, minors and exotics), major global indices such as US500, UK100 and AU50, 300+ shares of US, EU and UK companies, commodities including oil, gold, silver and coffee with spreads the page advertises from 0.01 pips, futures on indices and commodities, sector ETFs covering areas such as robotics and biotech, and crypto CFDs with spreads the same page advertises under 1%, including $5 on BTCUSD. Equiti’s own navigation lists the product as Crypto CFDs, so a client takes a position on price rather than holding coins.

Product access is not identical across entities. Equiti’s Jordan-facing about page, which presents it as “Jordan’s global broker” licensed by the JSC, shows a narrower navigation of Forex, Indices, Commodities, Shares and ETFs, with no Crypto CFDs, Futures or Gold Option CFDs listed for that entity. A client on the Jordan-facing site should check which products their own account offers rather than assume the full list elsewhere applies.

Equiti’s four account tiers and what execution costs on each

The accounts page for Equiti Securities Currencies Brokers LLC lists four tiers. Classic needs no minimum deposit, offers leverage to 1:2000, a 1.6 pip average spread and $0 commission on MT5 and MQ WebTrader. Standard needs a $30 minimum deposit, the same leverage ceiling, average spreads of 1.4 pips and $0 commission, and adds MT4 to the platform choice. Premier is open from a $100 deposit, advertises spreads from 0.0 pips and charges a commission of US$3.5 per lot per side instead of a spread markup, again across MT4, MT5 and MQ WebTrader. Micro is an additional USD account with leverage capped at 1:500, micro lot sizes and $0 commission. A Demo account is free, funded with $10,000 in virtual money, runs on MT5, stays valid for 90 days and allows up to three active demo accounts at once.

The firm’s own account rules limit how far a client can correct a setup mistake: the accounts FAQ states that account type and base currency cannot be changed once an account is created, citing regulatory rules, and that a client who wants a different setup must instead open one of up to three additional accounts per portal rather than modify the original.

Platforms, and where their own pages disagree

MT4 is offered on desktop, on the web through MQ WebTrader and on mobile, with over 80 tools including expert advisors, MQL4 scripting, nine timeframes and hedging allowed. MT5 adds 88 built in expert advisors, Depth of Market, 21 timeframes and both hedging and netting. MQ WebTrader is MetaQuotes’ own browser terminal for MT4 and MT5, usable without installing an app. Equiti also runs its own Equiti Trader App for mobile, and a separate Equiti Copy platform for copy trading.

Equiti’s own platform pages do not agree on what MT4 actually covers. The FAQ on the firm’s platforms page lists forex, shares, indices, commodities and ETFs as MT4 products, with no mention of futures, while the FAQ on the firm’s Indonesia facing platforms page lists forex, shares, indices, commodities, futures and ETFs for the same platform. A trader who wants to hold a futures position on MT4 specifically should check with the firm rather than rely on either FAQ alone.

Copy trading sits outside the main platform stack entirely. The Equiti Copy FAQ states the product covers over 2,000 assets but is available only to Standard and Premium clients on swap enabled accounts, and is not available on MT4, MT5 or the Equiti Trader mobile app; it uses its own separate login. A client who wants Islamic, swap free trading conditions cannot use Equiti Copy, since that product requires the swap enabled account type the FAQ names.

Leverage, the Welcome Bonus, and what it does to a position

Advertised leverage runs up to 1:2000 on Classic and Standard, up to 1:2000 on Premier, and up to 1:500 on Micro, per the UAE accounts page. That ceiling changes for any account holding the firm’s Welcome Bonus. The trading accounts FAQ on Equiti’s Australia facing accounts page states that while the bonus is active, account leverage is fixed at 500:1, reverting to the standard maximum only once the bonus is removed, so accepting the promotional credit caps leverage at a quarter of the advertised ceiling for as long as the client holds it.

The same FAQ describes the bonus itself as 30% extra trading credit on a first deposit, and is specific about what that credit cannot do. It states the credit cannot be used to offset trading losses, sits in the MT5 credit field rather than as withdrawable balance, and is removed entirely if the client makes a withdrawal or transfer, or if the client’s own funds fall to 5% or less of total equity. In practice the client’s own money absorbs every loss; the credit functions as a leverage or margin cushion the firm can withdraw, not as loss protection.

Negative balance protection and execution risk

An earlier review of Equiti reported a carve out in the firm’s Negative Balance Protection Policy: that protection does not apply to open positions left unclosed because of a trading platform disruption or malfunction, and a client can still be held responsible for a resulting negative balance in that case. We have not read that policy document ourselves, so we are reporting what the earlier review found rather than quoting the firm’s own text.

Equiti’s own legal footer on its fees pages states the firm provides an execution only service, does not provide investment advice or management services, and that any analysis, opinion, commentary or research based material on the site is for information or education only and is never intended as an offer, recommendation, advice or solicitation. That wording puts the suitability of any trade on the client, regardless of which account tier or platform they use.

Account Types

Equiti’s UAE-facing accounts page lists four tiers: Classic, Standard, Premier and Micro. Prices and specifications below come from that page.

What Equiti’s UAE accounts page lists

The Micro tier is described as an additional account rather than a standalone entry point, and Equiti’s page does not give it a minimum deposit figure. Micro is also the only tier capped at 1:500 leverage; the other three go up to 1:2000.

Alongside these, Equiti’s UK/Seychelles pages describe a Demo account: $10,000 in virtual funds, full product access on MT5, valid for 90 days, with up to three active demo accounts allowed at once. Standard and Premier clients on swap-enabled accounts can also connect to Equiti Copy, a separate copy-trading platform covering more than 2,000 assets; Equiti’s own accounts page states that Equiti Copy runs on its own login, separate from MT4, MT5 or the Equiti Trader app, and is not available on swap-free accounts.

The Welcome Bonus and what it actually costs a client

Equiti’s Australia accounts page advertises a Welcome Bonus of 30% extra trading credit on a first deposit, and sets out terms that cut into what that credit is worth. The FAQ states the bonus credit cannot be used to offset trading losses, so a client still bears the full loss from their own funds regardless of the credit sitting in the MT5 credit field. The same FAQ states the credit is not withdrawable and is removed entirely if the client makes a withdrawal or transfer, or if the client’s own funds fall to 5% or less of total equity. While the bonus is active, the same page states account leverage is fixed at 500:1, a quarter of the 2000:1 ceiling advertised on the standard tiers above, reverting to the higher leverage only once the bonus is removed.

This is a live promotion on Equiti’s own regional pages, not something absent from the firm’s offering. An earlier review of Equiti that this write up draws on for other sections had reported no active promotions, on the reasoning that ESMA style bonus restrictions ruled them out; Equiti’s current UAE, Australia, Vietnam and UK pages contradict that, so the point is worth flagging as a place where an older summary of this broker has gone stale rather than as a finding about Equiti’s current terms.

Switching or correcting an account

Equiti’s Australia FAQ states that account type and base currency cannot be modified once an account is created, citing regulatory rules, and that a client wanting a different setup instead opens up to three additional accounts through the same portal. A client who picks the wrong tier or currency at signup is not editing that account; they are managing a second one alongside it.

What an older account table missed

Our earlier review reported just two tiers, a no minimum Standard account at 1.4 pip average spreads and a Premier account from $100 with spreads from 0.0 pips. Equiti’s own current page adds two tiers that summary did not carry: the Classic account above, and the 1:500 leverage Micro account, and also shows Standard now carrying a $30 minimum deposit where the older figure was none. A reader working from that older table would be missing an entire tier and understating what Standard now costs to open.

Negative Balance Protection

Equiti’s own accounts page advertises leverage up to 1:2000 on the Classic, Standard and Premier tiers, dropping to 1:500 on the Micro account. At that ratio a modest adverse price move can wipe out margin far faster than a trader can react, which is precisely the scenario negative balance protection is meant to cover: the question is not whether losses can outrun a deposit, but what happens to the account when they do.

Equiti’s Welcome Bonus and how it interacts with drawdown

Equiti’s own Trading Accounts FAQ for its Australian-facing pages sets out a 30% “Welcome Bonus” credited on first deposit, and the terms attached to it double as a set of drawdown rules. The bonus is credited into the MT5 credit field and, per the FAQ, cannot be used to offset trading losses, so a client with the bonus active still absorbs 100% of any loss from their own funds. The credit is also non-withdrawable: the same FAQ states it is removed outright if the client makes a withdrawal or transfer, or if the client’s own funds fall to 5% or less of total account equity. That second trigger is a drawdown line in the ordinary sense, an equity floor that, once breached, costs the client the bonus regardless of whether the underlying position survives.

The FAQ also ties leverage itself to the bonus: while the Welcome Bonus is held, account leverage is capped at 500:1, a quarter of the 1:2000 maximum advertised elsewhere on Equiti’s accounts page, and only reverts to 2000:1 once the bonus is removed. A client who wants Equiti’s full advertised leverage has to give up the bonus to get it, and a client who keeps the bonus trades under a materially lower leverage ceiling than the headline figure implies.

Account currency and type are fixed once opened

The same FAQ states that account type and base currency cannot be modified after an account is created, citing regulatory rules, and that a client who wants different terms has to open a separate account instead, up to three additional accounts per portal. That matters for loss management specifically because a client who picked the wrong base currency, and so is carrying unwanted currency conversion exposure alongside their trading losses, cannot fix it on the existing account.

Where the negative balance protection gap sits

We did not fetch Equiti’s negative balance protection policy directly, so what follows is restated from the earlier review of Equiti that this catalogue is rewriting, not read from the firm’s own document. That earlier review reported that Equiti’s negative balance protection does not apply to open positions that go unclosed because of a trading platform disruption or malfunction, and that a client can still be held responsible for a negative balance that results in that situation. If accurate, it means the protection is not unconditional: it is the platform staying up and letting a position close on time that keeps a client’s downside capped at their deposit, and an outage is carved out of that guarantee rather than covered by it. Because this comes from an earlier publication and not a page we read ourselves, a reader who wants the exact wording of that carve-out should ask Equiti for the current policy document directly rather than rely on either review’s paraphrase.

Trading Instruments

Equiti’s UAE page lists forex (60+ currency pairs across majors, minors and exotics), major global indices such as US500, UK100 and AU50, 300+ shares of US, EU and UK companies, commodities including oil, gold, silver and coffee, futures on indices and commodities, sector ETFs covering areas like robotics, big data and biotech, and crypto CFDs with spreads the page describes as under 1% including $5 on BTCUSD. The crypto CFDs are, as the page states, CFD-only: the client takes a long or short position on price and never owns the coin.

Clients onboarded under the Jordan entity, Equiti Group Limited (Jordan), see a narrower range. The Jordan-facing navigation lists only Forex, Indices, Commodities, Shares and ETFs; Crypto CFDs, Futures and Gold Option CFDs shown elsewhere on the UAE pages do not appear in that entity’s own navigation. Which asset classes a client can actually reach therefore depends on which Equiti entity onboards them.

Which platform carries which assets

The platform pages disagree with each other on MT4’s own product list. Equiti’s UK platform FAQ at the firm’s UK platforms page lists forex, shares, indices, commodities and ETFs on MT4, with no mention of futures. A separate Equiti page, the firm’s Indonesian platforms page, lists forex, shares, indices, commodities, futures and ETFs for the same platform, futures included. We read both pages as fetched and cannot resolve which list is current; a client who wants futures specifically on MT4 should confirm directly with Equiti before assuming either FAQ is authoritative. MT5’s own FAQ states its product range as forex, shares, indices, commodities, futures, cryptocurrencies and ETFs, so cryptocurrencies are named for MT5 in a way neither MT4 page names them.

Copy trading sits apart from all of this. Equiti’s account page describes Equiti Copy as a copy-trading platform covering over 2,000 assets, but access is restricted to Standard and Premium clients on swap-enabled accounts only, and it runs on its own separate login, not through MT4, MT5 or the Equiti Trader app. A client who wants Islamic or swap-free conditions and also wants to copy trade cannot get both on the same account: swap-free accounts are excluded from Equiti Copy by the same FAQ.

What the account tiers change about pricing, not access

Equiti’s UAE accounts page lists four tiers, and the difference between them is cost structure rather than which assets are tradable: Classic (no minimum deposit, average spreads of 1.6 pips, $0 commission), Standard ($30 minimum, average spreads of 1.4 pips, $0 commission), Premier (from $100, spreads from 0.0 pips, US$3.5 per lot per side commission), and Micro (leverage capped at 1:500 against 1:2000 on the other tiers, micro lot sizes). All four are quoted as USD accounts on MT4, MT5 or MQ WebTrader depending on tier.

One contract term worth flagging alongside the instrument list: Equiti’s Australia-facing accounts FAQ states that while a Welcome Bonus of 30% extra trading credit is active on an account, leverage on that account is fixed at 500:1, reverting to the standard 2000:1 only once the bonus is removed. A client trading commodities, indices or shares CFDs under the promotional credit is therefore trading at a quarter of the leverage the account tiers otherwise advertise, for as long as the credit is held.

Education & Analysis

Equiti’s platform lineup breaks into two layers: the MetaTrader suite it licenses from MetaQuotes, and two products the firm built itself, the Equiti Trader app and Equiti Copy. The account pages tie specific tiers to specific platforms rather than giving every client the same toolkit, which is where some of the detail below actually matters.

MT4 and MT5 on Equiti

The firm’s platform pages describe MetaTrader 4 as available on desktop, web through MQ WebTrader, and mobile on iOS and Android, with more than 80 trading tools including expert advisors, MQL4 and nine chart timeframes, and hedging allowed. MetaTrader 5 is described the same way across desktop, MQ WebTrader and mobile, but with a larger toolkit: 88 built-in expert advisors, a Depth of Market window, 21 timeframes, and both hedging and netting supported, according to Equiti’s platforms page.

The firm’s own pages do not agree on what actually trades on MT4. The FAQ on Equiti’s UK platforms page lists forex, shares, indices, commodities and ETFs as the MT4 product range, with no mention of futures. The FAQ on the firm’s Indonesia platforms page lists the same categories for MT4 but adds futures. That is a live contradiction between two of Equiti’s own pages, not a settled fact, so a client trading futures should confirm with Equiti directly which platform actually carries them before assuming MT4 does. MT5’s own FAQ, by contrast, states plainly that its products include forex, shares, indices, commodities, futures, cryptocurrencies and ETFs, with no equivalent ambiguity in the pages we read.

Platform access is not the same across every Equiti account

Equiti’s UAE accounts page lists the platforms bundled with each tier, and they are not uniform. The Classic account (no minimum deposit, average spreads of 1.6 pips) is listed with MT5 and MQ WebTrader only. The Micro account (leverage up to 1:500, micro lot sizes) is likewise listed with MT5 and MQ WebTrader only. The Standard account ($30 minimum deposit, average spreads of 1.4 pips) and the Premier account (deposits from $100, spreads from 0.0 pips, a US$3.5-per-lot-per-side commission) are the two tiers listed with MT4 in addition to MT5 and MQ WebTrader. A client who opens a Classic or Micro account on the strength of MT4-specific tools such as MQL4 expert advisors, on the numbers Equiti’s own accounts page gives, would not have access to them.

The Equiti Trader app and where Equiti Copy sits apart

Equiti also runs its own branded mobile app, the Equiti Trader App, which the firm’s about page describes as carrying advanced tools and multi-asset trading. Copy trading is explicitly excluded from it. The separate Equiti Copy FAQ states plainly: Copy trading is only available on swap-enabled Equiti accounts and is not available on MT4, MT5 or the Equiti Trader mobile app. Equiti Copy is run as its own web platform with its own login, covering copy trades across more than 2,000 assets according to the accounts page, but it is only open to clients on a swap-enabled Standard or Premier account. A client who wants Islamic, swap-free trading conditions and also wants to copy trade is caught by that same restriction: swap-free accounts are excluded from the swap-enabled requirement Equiti Copy sets, so that combination is not available under the terms the firm publishes.

What is missing from the platform pages

The pages we fetched describe MT4, MT5, MQ WebTrader, the Equiti Trader App and Equiti Copy, and say nothing about charting or analysis tools beyond what ships inside those platforms, such as any proprietary research feed, economic calendar or signal service separate from MetaTrader’s own indicator set. We did not fetch a page dedicated to research or analysis tooling, so nothing here can be said about whether one exists.

Special Offers

The firm’s Australian accounts page advertises a Welcome Bonus of 30% extra trading credit on a client’s first deposit. The same page sets out conditions that cut into what that bonus is actually worth.

What Equiti’s Welcome Bonus terms actually say

The Trading Accounts FAQ on that page states the bonus credit cannot be used to offset trading losses. It sits in the MT5 credit field and, in the firm’s own words on that FAQ, cannot replace realised losses, so a client trading on a bonus still absorbs 100% of any losses from their own funds despite the credit being called “trading credit.”

The same FAQ states the credit is not withdrawable. It is removed if the client makes a withdrawal or transfer, or if the client’s own funds fall to 5% or less of total equity. A client who simply withdraws profits, or whose equity dips through normal trading, loses the bonus entirely.

The FAQ also states that while the Welcome Bonus is active, account leverage is fixed at 500:1, reverting to the standard 2000:1 that Equiti advertises elsewhere only once the bonus is removed. Accepting the promotion means trading at a quarter of the leverage the firm otherwise offers on the same account type, for as long as the credit is held.

A gap between reviews worth flagging

An earlier published review of Equiti reported that the firm ran no active promotions, attributing this to ESMA style bonus restrictions. That does not match what Equiti’s own regional pages currently show. The UAE, Australia, Vietnam and UK pages we fetched actively advertise the Welcome Bonus described above, with the leverage cut, non withdrawability and loss offset restrictions all set out on the firm’s own accounts page. Readers relying on the older summary would miss both the promotion itself and its restrictive terms.

The withdrawal side of “free”

Equiti’s fee page advertises “Free Virtual Currency Withdrawals,” but the Deposits and Withdrawals payment terms on that same page carve out an exception. Accounts the firm deems to have low, inactive, non performing, suspicious or irregular trading activity can be charged a withdrawal fee of 0.5% to 1% per withdrawal, applied pursuant to the terms and conditions. The firm reserves the discretion to classify an account that way and apply the fee, which sits against the “free” framing used in the marketing copy on the same page. Outside that carve out, the fee page lists standard withdrawal costs: e-wallet withdrawals via Skrill, Neteller or SenhorMoney at 1% up to $30 or the equivalent, and international bank transfer withdrawals at $30 or the equivalent, with domestic bank withdrawals and all listed deposit methods at $0.

None of the material we fetched frames a deposit match, a spread discount, or a cash rebate as a separate promotional tier. The tiers we read, Classic, Standard, Premier and Micro on the UAE accounts page, are described in terms of spreads, commission and leverage rather than promotional credit; the Welcome Bonus is the one promotional mechanism the fetched pages describe.

Opening an Account

Equiti runs at least eight regulated entities under one brand, so the sign up flow, the identity checks, and the account tiers all depend on which entity a reader lands on. We read the firm’s own regional pages rather than a summary of them, and they do not agree with one another.

Which entity onboards a reader

Equiti Securities Currencies Brokers LLC handles UAE clients and holds two UAE Securities and Commodities Authority licences, a Category One dealing licence numbered 20200000026 and a Category Five arranging and advising licence numbered 20200000352 on the firm’s own contact page. The UAE Capital Market Authority register confirms the company itself, listed as CP-0000791 with status Active since 2022, though the register publishes that CP code rather than the licence numbers the firm quotes, so the company is confirmed and the numbers are not. the Jordan Securities Commission licenses Equiti Group Limited (Jordan) as a Financial Broker for the Account of Others and for Financial Advisory, per a JSC list headed “till 8th June 2022” that publishes no licence numbers. International readers outside the UK and EU are onboarded instead by Equiti Brokerage (Seychelles) Limited, which the Seychelles Financial Services Authority lists as regulated securities dealer SD064, though that register does not publish licence numbers either, so SD064 remains the firm’s own claim. UK residents fall under Equiti Capital UK Ltd, confirmed Authorised on the FCA register under firm reference 528328, a number the register supplied since the firm’s own claim quoted none. EU readers fall under Equiti Global Markets, confirmed on the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission register with an active licence numbered 415/22. Kenyan clients are onboarded by EGM Securities, listed on Kenya’s Capital Markets Authority register under a non-dealing online foreign exchange broker licence numbered 107 and a derivatives brokers licence numbered 120.

An entity named on the firm’s own pages, Equiti AM in Armenia, cites the Central Bank of Armenia as regulator. We hold no register entry for that authority, so this claim was not checked, and that is a gap in our coverage rather than a finding about the firm.

What signing up with Equiti actually requires

The account tiers on the UAE accounts page set the entry bar: Classic and Micro carry no stated minimum deposit, Standard asks for $30, and Premier asks for deposits from $100. The JSC regulated Jordan entity advertises a narrower product list on its own navigation, Forex, Indices, Commodities, Shares and ETFs only, with no Crypto CFDs, Futures or Gold Option CFDs shown for that entity, so what a client can trade depends on which national entity onboarded them, not just which account tier they picked. A demo account is free with no deposit required, running $10,000 in virtual funds on MT5, valid for 90 days, with up to three active demo accounts allowed at once.

Equiti’s Seychelles and Jordan pages both state that the site’s information is not directed at, or intended for use by, residents of the United States and Belgium, and the Seychelles pages add Canada and Japan to that list. That is a statement about who the marketing material is aimed at rather than a stated block on opening an account, and none of the fetched pages say what the firm does when a resident of one of those countries tries to sign up anyway.

The account a new client cannot fix

Once an account is opened, the firm’s own trading accounts FAQ states that the account type and base currency cannot be modified “due to regulatory rules”, and that a client who wants a different setup must instead open up to three additional accounts through the same portal. That makes the account selection at signup effectively permanent per account: get the currency or tier wrong and the fix is a second account, not a correction to the first.

The Welcome Bonus offered at signup, and what accepting it changes

Several of Equiti’s regional pages, including the UAE, Australia, Vietnam and UK sites, advertise a Welcome Bonus of 30% extra trading credit on a first deposit. The Trading Accounts FAQ sets out what that credit actually does once accepted: it appears in the MT5 credit field and cannot be used to offset trading losses, so the client bears the full loss from their own funds regardless of the bonus. The bonus is not withdrawable, and it is removed entirely if the client makes any withdrawal or transfer, or if the client’s own funds fall to 5% or less of total equity. While the bonus is active, account leverage is fixed at 500:1, reverting to the standard 2000:1 maximum only once the bonus is removed. A reader who takes this offer at signup is trading on a capped leverage account that forfeits the credit the moment they try to take money out.

A name to avoid while searching for Equiti

We searched 1441 warning list entries mirrored from the CySEC, FCA and FSC Mauritius registers, and Equiti appears on none of them. That search also surfaced three unrelated sites carrying Equiti like names that the FCA register itself characterises as clones of an authorised firm: cityequities.co.uk, equitixincome.com and hibiscusequities.com. None of these three is Equiti, and the register does not confirm which authorised firm they are impersonating, but a reader searching for Equiti by name should be aware a signup page bearing a similar name is not necessarily the firm reviewed here.

Deposits & Withdrawals

Equiti’s own fee page splits funding rails by method, and the pattern across nearly all of them is the same: deposits are free, and the firm only starts charging once money tries to leave.

What Equiti charges to deposit

According to the firm’s fee page, Apple Pay and Google Pay, Visa and Mastercard, and crypto deposits all post at $0, with card and wallet payments landing instantly and crypto taking instant to one day. The same page lists local payment solutions across a long run of currencies, including MYR, THB, CNY, VND, IDR, PHP, GHS, ZAR, RWF, ZMW, BIF, MMK, LAK, JPY, INR and KRW, again at $0 and instant. Mobile money in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania and local bank transfer in Nigeria are listed the same way, at $0 and instant, covering KES, UGX, TZS and NGN. Bank transfer deposits are also $0 on the fee page, though the firm gives a transfer window of one to five days rather than the instant timing of cards or wallets. Skrill and Neteller deposits are likewise $0, spanning USD, GBP, EUR, AED, SAR, COP and BRL for Skrill and USD, GBP, EUR, AED, COP, BRL and MXN for Neteller.

What Equiti charges to withdraw

Withdrawals are where the fee page stops being uniformly free. E-wallet withdrawals through Skrill, Neteller or SenhorMoney carry a fee of 1% up to $30 or the equivalent in the account currency. Bank transfer withdrawals are free only if the receiving bank is domestic; an international bank transfer withdrawal costs $30 or the equivalent, on top of whatever the receiving bank itself deducts. Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay and crypto withdrawals are not listed with a separate fee on the page, so the $0 figure quoted for deposits through those rails is the only figure the fee page gives.

The exception written into Equiti’s “free” withdrawals

The fee page also carries a clause that cuts against its own marketing: accounts the firm classifies as low, inactive, non-performing, suspicious or irregular can be charged 0.5% to 1% per withdrawal, applied pursuant to the terms and conditions, as an exception to the advertised free virtual currency withdrawals. The page does not define what makes an account irregular or inactive, which leaves that classification, and the fee it triggers, to the firm’s own judgment rather than a fixed rule a client can check in advance.

Who actually processes the money

The legal disclaimer in the footer of the fee page states that deposits and withdrawals may be coordinated, facilitated or processed by one or more affiliates of the contracting Equiti entity, including Equiti Capital Limited UK. That means a client who signed up under, say, the Seychelles entity can have their money movement handled by a different group company than the one they hold an account agreement with.

The Welcome Bonus and withdrawal triggers

Equiti’s Australia accounts FAQ describes a 30% Welcome Bonus paid as trading credit into the MT5 credit field, and it comes with conditions that bite specifically at the point of withdrawal. The FAQ states the bonus cannot be used to offset trading losses and cannot replace realised losses, so the client’s own funds absorb 100% of any loss regardless of the bonus. It also states the bonus is not withdrawable and is removed if the client makes a withdrawal or transfer, or if the client’s own funds fall to 5% or less of total equity. In practical terms, taking a withdrawal while the bonus is active forfeits the bonus outright. The same FAQ states that while the bonus is active, leverage is fixed at 500:1, reverting to the standard 2000:1 only once the bonus is removed, so accepting the credit also caps leverage until a withdrawal (or the equity trigger) clears it.

Account setup limits that affect where funds sit

The Australia accounts FAQ also states that account type and base currency cannot be modified once an account is created, citing regulatory rules, and that a client who wants a different setup must open up to three additional accounts per portal instead of amending the original one. For a client funding an account in the wrong currency, that means a second deposit into a second account rather than a correction of the first.

Customer Support

Equiti runs support separately by entity rather than through one global desk, and the channels below come from the firm’s own regional contact pages rather than a single “contact us” hub.

How to reach Equiti

For the UAE entity, Equiti Securities Currencies Brokers LLC, the firm’s contact page lists an email address of support.ae@equiti.com, a phone line of +971 4436-8301, a UAE local toll-free number of 800 872 3387, and a WhatsApp line at the same +971 number. The same page gives two UAE office locations: Sheikh Zayed Road, Lamborghini Building, Second Floor, Dubai, and Etihad Towers, Tower 3, 9th Floor, Al Bateen, Abu Dhabi. For clients onboarded under the Jordan entity, Equiti Group Limited, the phone and WhatsApp number published is +962 6 550 8305, with a registered office on Al-Abdali Boulevard, Amman.

Clients onboarded under Equiti Brokerage (Seychelles) Limited, the entity the firm uses for most international readers, are given a different email, support.sey@equiti.com, and a Seychelles WhatsApp number, +248 4671934. Equiti’s own page for this entity also lists live chat through the website, and states it is staffed in English, Arabic, Spanish, Portuguese, Thai and Tagalog. None of the pages we fetched publish a phone number for live chat or a stated response-time target for any of these channels.

Equiti’s support hours, and where the previous write-up went stale

Our earlier review reported a Jordan phone number of +962 6 550 0404, a generic support@equiti.com address, and support hours of 24/5, running Sunday 22:05 GMT to Friday 21:50 GMT. None of those three figures match what we found: Equiti’s own current contact pages give the Jordan number as +962 6 550 8305, use entity-specific addresses (support.ae@equiti.com, support.sey@equiti.com) rather than a single generic one, and consistently advertise 24/6 support rather than 24/5. A reader working from the older figures could dial a number that’s no longer listed, email an address the firm’s current pages don’t show, or assume Saturday support isn’t available when Equiti’s own pages say it is.

What Equiti’s own terms say about complaints and money movement

Three clauses in Equiti’s published material matter to a client who runs into trouble rather than one who’s just trading normally. First, the legal footer on the firm’s fee page states that deposits and withdrawals may be coordinated, facilitated or processed by one or more affiliates of the contracting Equiti entity, naming Equiti Capital Limited UK as one such affiliate. That means a client whose account sits with, say, the Seychelles entity can have their money moved through a different group company they have no direct contractual relationship with, which is worth knowing before raising a payment dispute with the wrong desk.

Second, the same footer describes Equiti’s service as execution-only: “We do not provide investment advice or management services,” and states that any analysis, opinion, commentary or research-based material on the site “is for information/education only” and is never intended as advice or a recommendation. That disclaimer sets the boundary of what a support conversation can be expected to cover: it won’t extend to guidance on whether a trade was suitable.

Third, Equiti’s fee page reserves the right to charge a 0.5% to 1% withdrawal fee, pursuant to the terms and conditions, on accounts the firm itself classifies as low-activity, inactive, non-performing, suspicious or irregular. That’s a carve-out from the “Free Virtual Currency Withdrawals” the same page advertises, and the classification is the firm’s own call, not a fixed rule a client can check in advance. A client contesting a withdrawal charge is, in effect, disputing a discretionary account label rather than a published fee schedule.

A separate risk when searching for Equiti online

We searched 1,441 warning-list entries mirrored from the FCA, CySEC and the Mauritius FSC, and Equiti does not appear on any of them. Three other sites do turn up on the FCA’s list under Equiti-adjacent names: cityequities.co.uk, equitixincome.com and hibiscusequities.com, each of which the FCA register describes as a clone of an authorised firm rather than as Equiti itself. None of these are the broker reviewed here, but a reader searching for Equiti support or contact details online should be careful not to land on one of them by mistake.

Prohibited Countries

Equiti runs several licensed entities across different regions, and which countries are excluded depends on which entity is reading the page. The firm’s own site pages are explicit on this point rather than leaving it to inference.

Who Equiti says it will not serve

The pages written for the Seychelles entity, Equiti Brokerage (Seychelles) Limited, state that the site’s information is not directed at, or intended for use by, residents of the United States, Belgium, Canada or Japan. The pages written for the Jordan entity, Equiti Group Limited (Jordan), carry a narrower version of the same statement: not directed at residents of the United States or Belgium. Neither page frames this as a request the reader must act on; both simply state that the material is not aimed at people in those countries.

Why the exclusions differ by entity

Equiti operates as a group of separately licensed companies rather than one firm serving every country under a single permission. The UK Financial Conduct Authority register confirms Equiti Capital UK Limited as authorised under firm reference 528328, and the firm’s own pages describe that licence as covering UK clients only, with international readers instead onboarded by Equiti Brokerage (Seychelles) Limited. The Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission register confirms Equiti Global Markets Ltd holds an active investment firm licence, number 415/22, and again the firm’s own pages describe that entity as serving EU clients only, with readers outside the EU onboarded by the Seychelles entity. So a UK or EU resident is not covered by the same licence, or the same country exclusions, as a reader landing on the Seychelles-branded pages.

The Jordan entity’s narrower offering

Clients onboarded under Equiti Group Limited (Jordan), which the Jordan Securities Commission lists as a licensed Financial Broker for the Account of Others and for Financial Advisory, are shown a narrower product range on that entity’s own navigation: Forex, Indices, Commodities, Shares and ETFs, with no Crypto CFDs, Futures or Gold Option CFDs listed for this entity. This is a difference in what the Jordan entity offers, not a stated exclusion of any additional country, and we report it as a product-availability difference rather than a nationality restriction.

What the warning-list search found, and what it did not

We searched 1,441 warning-list entries mirrored from the CySEC, FCA and FSC Mauritius registers, and Equiti appears on none of them. That count covers only the lists our review process mirrors, not every regulator worldwide, so it is a clean result within that scope rather than a clearance from every possible authority. The FCA register does, however, list three unrelated sites carrying Equiti-like names: cityequities.co.uk, equitixincome.com and hibiscusequities.com are each listed by the FCA as a clone of an authorised firm, meaning the register itself characterises them as clones rather than merely unauthorised operators. None of these three is Equiti under review here, and the FCA register does not say which authorised firm they clone, but a reader searching for Equiti online who lands on one of these domains is not dealing with any Equiti entity named on this page.

What we did not check

Equiti’s own pages also name licences from the Central Bank of Armenia, for an entity called Equiti AM, and a Jordan company registration number, 50248. We hold no register entry for either the Central Bank of Armenia or the Jordanian company registry in our directory, so neither claim has been checked against a public register, and that gap sits with our coverage rather than with the firm. Beyond the exclusions stated above, the evidence gathered for this review does not extend to a country-by-country list of where Equiti will or will not accept a client; we report only what the firm’s own pages state.

Conclusion

Equiti scores 6.7 overall, built on regulation at 7.3, fees at 6.2, platform at 6.5, support at 6.5 and reviews at 6.8. The regulation figure is the strongest because it is the most checkable: it rests on real register entries rather than on marketing copy.

What the registers actually confirm about Equiti

We searched eight public registers directly and most of what Equiti claims about its licensing held up. The UAE Capital Market Authority register lists Equiti Securities Currencies Brokers LLC as CP-0000791, status Active, listed since 2022, though the register publishes that CP code rather than the licence numbers the firm quotes on its own site, so the company is confirmed and the specific numbers are not. The Jordan Securities Commission’s list of financial services companies includes Equiti Group Limited as a licensed Financial Broker for the Account of Others and for Financial Advisory, on a list headed “till 8th June 2022” that carries no licence numbers to check. The Seychelles FSA lists Equiti Brokerage (Seychelles) Ltd as a regulated securities dealer, again without publishing the licence number the firm quotes as SD064. The FCA register confirms Equiti Capital UK Limited as Authorised under firm reference 528328, a number the register supplied rather than one the firm published, and that licence covers UK clients only. The Capital Markets Authority in Kenya lists EGM Securities Limited under two licences. The Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission register confirms Equiti Global Markets Ltd holds an active investment firm licence, 415/22, covering EU clients only. Two claims could not be checked at all: Equiti AM’s stated Armenian licence and the Jordan company registration number, because we hold no register entry for either authority. Those are gaps in our directory, not findings against the firm.

What this adds up to is a group that spreads its regulatory coverage across several separate legal entities, each licensed for a different region, rather than one licence covering every reader. A trader onboarded through the Seychelles entity is not dealing with the same regulated company as a UK client on Equiti Capital UK Ltd, and the protections attached to an FCA authorisation do not travel with the brand name.

The warning list search and the clone sites carrying Equiti’s name

We searched 1,441 warning list entries mirrored from CySEC, the FCA and the FSC Mauritius, and Equiti appears on none of them. That count is a real finding, not a formality: we ran a positive control against nine registers first, searching for a firm known to be listed, so an empty result here means absence rather than a search that silently failed. It only covers the three regulators we mirror, not every regulator worldwide.

The same FCA register that clears Equiti also names three unrelated sites the register itself calls clones of an authorised firm: cityequities.co.uk, equitixincome.com and hibiscusequities.com. These are not Equiti and are not on any list alongside Equiti. They matter because a reader searching for the broker by a similar name could land on one of them instead.

Where Equiti’s fee structure costs more than the headline suggests

Deposits are free across the board, by Apple Pay, Google Pay, cards, crypto, Skrill, Neteller and bank transfer alike, according to the firm’s own fee page. Withdrawals are where the charges sit: 1% up to $30 on e-wallet withdrawals, $30 flat on international bank transfers, and domestic bank withdrawals at $0. Beyond that, Equiti’s fee page reserves the right to charge 0.5% to 1% per withdrawal on accounts it deems low, inactive, non-performing, suspicious or irregular, an exception carved directly into the page that otherwise advertises “Free Virtual Currency Withdrawals.” That discretion to classify an account and apply a fee sits with the firm, not the client.

The account tiers themselves show the more familiar spreads-versus-commission trade-off: Classic and Standard run on wider average spreads (1.6 and 1.4 pips) with no separate commission, while Premier drops to spreads from 0.0 pips against a $3.5 per lot per side commission, according to Equiti’s own accounts page. Leverage runs up to 1:2000 on the standard tiers, but a client accepting the advertised Welcome Bonus, 30% extra trading credit on first deposit, has that leverage capped at 500:1 for as long as the bonus is held, and the bonus itself cannot offset trading losses or be withdrawn, being forfeited outright on any withdrawal, transfer, or a drop in the client’s own equity to 5% or below of total equity.

Platform access and support hours at Equiti

Equiti runs MT4, MT5, MetaQuotes’ own MQ WebTrader, and its own branded Equiti Trader app, alongside a separate Equiti Copy platform for copy trading that requires its own login and only works on a swap-enabled Standard or Premium account, meaning it is unavailable to Islamic or swap-free traders. Equiti’s own platform pages give conflicting FAQ answers on whether MT4 covers futures, one page includes them, another omits them, which is the kind of detail worth confirming directly with support before trading a specific product on that platform. Support runs by region: a UAE line, a Jordan line and a Seychelles-entity email and WhatsApp, with live chat covering English, Arabic, Spanish, Portuguese, Thai and Tagalog, according to the firm’s own contact pages.

Equiti Securities Currencies Brokers LLC holds a confirmed Active UAE licence, and separate group entities carry confirmed FCA, CySEC, Kenyan and Seychelles authorisations, with 1,441 warning list entries checked and none matching. Equiti scores 6.7 overall, held down by withdrawal fees that scale with the firm’s own discretionary account classification and a Welcome Bonus that cuts leverage to 500:1 while it is held.
