We don't link to Exness from your region, because it doesn't serve retail clients here through a locally regulated company. You can still read our full review. Exness's FCA and CySEC entities do not currently take retail clients, so UK, EEA and Australian retail clients are not served.

We don't link to brokers from the US or Canada, because retail CFD trading isn't offered to residents there. You can still read our full review.

We don't link to brokers from your country. You can still read our full review.

Account links appear once we can confirm your region. You can still read our full review. Exness's FCA and CySEC entities do not currently take retail clients, so UK, EEA and Australian retail clients are not served.

The verdict

Instant withdrawals on most payment methods and 100+ FX pairs, the deepest list we track.

Exness pays out on most methods instantly, per its own published payout policy. The catch is regulatory. The leverage that draws people in only exists on the entities with the weakest statutory protection, and its FCA and CySEC entities don’t take retail clients.
