Compare UAE-licensed forex brokers

Licence facts checked against the official UAE registers. Minimum deposit, commission and spreads are taken from each broker’s own pages (UAE entity where published), with the account type, a source link and the date we checked.

Sorted alphabetically. Not a ranking or a recommendation. “See broker site” means the broker does not publish this figure on its UAE pages (or it varies by country); the link opens the broker page to check.

Shown only where the broker publishes the figure on its own pages. Spreads move with the market: “from” and “minimum” are the broker’s advertised lowest, “average” is its published average, and a “live snapshot” is what its instrument page showed on the date we checked.

Invvex does not rate brokers. Review sites are independent and anyone can post; also check complaints and warnings on the regulator’s site.

Information only, not investment advice. CFDs are complex and carry a high risk of losing money. Always check the licence on the regulator’s register before you open an account.
