Equiti's regulatory licenses
Equiti operates through separate licensed entities: Equiti Limited Jordan (JSC), Equiti in the UAE (DMSS), Equiti UK (regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority), plus entities in Kenya, the United States, New Zealand, and Armenia. Client funds are held segregated from company funds, and the UK entity participates in the FSCS compensation scheme.
Account types and leverage
Equiti offers leverage up to 1:500, though UK clients are capped at 1:30 under ESMA rules. Two account types are available:
- Executive Account: commission-free trading, average spread around 1.6 points, $500 minimum deposit.
- Premiere Account: average spread around 0.2 pips, $70 commission per $1 million traded, $20,000 minimum deposit.
Islamic (swap-free) accounts are available for traders in the Arab region.
Trading platforms and instruments
Equiti supports MT4 (MetaTrader 4) and its own web platform, EQTrader. Tradable instruments include forex currency pairs, precious metals, commodities, indices, and stock CFDs.
Verdict on Equiti
The $500 Executive Account gives most traders an entry point, while the Premiere Account's tighter spreads target high-volume traders able to meet the $20,000 minimum. The FCA-regulated UK entity and segregated client funds provide a baseline layer of oversight, though the Premiere Account's fee structure reflects its professional-trader focus.
Trading conditions
Equiti operates across the UK, the Middle East, Africa and New Zealand, with a group structure that includes an institutional business alongside retail brokerage. Its Middle East presence is more substantial than most international brands, with a regional operating history rather than a recently opened branch.
Trading runs on MetaTrader 4 and 5 with Standard and raw-spread account types.
Terms follow the entity: FCA clients face 30:1 on major currency pairs with negative balance protection and FSCS cover up to £85,000; the New Zealand entity holds client money in a statutory trust; other entities apply their local regimes.
Verification
Verification requires photo ID and proof of address, with an appropriateness assessment on the regulated entities. Documents are usually reviewed within one to two business days.
Confirm which company your client agreement names. Equiti operates entities under regulators of quite different strength, and the protections attached to a UK account do not follow a client onboarded to a regional one.
