Want to know what real people think about Exness in 2025? Here you'll find user ratings and comments, sharing their personal experiences with the broker, pricing (including spreads and swaps), and their regulatory status.

Live Spreads: From Live Accounts

We are loading data ...

Exness has two main account types: Standard and Zero. The Standard account is your typical commission-free setup, with forex spreads that aren't the best or worst, and decent commodity spreads. The Zero account is where things get interesting – the spreads are super tight for both forex and commodities, but there's a commission.

Compared to the provided data, it looks potentially cheaper than IC Markets' Standard account, and way better than the spreads on Admirals' Trade or HFM's Premium accounts for forex. Against HFM's Zero Spread account, Exness Zero has a clear spread advantage, but the commission is key. For commodities, Exness Zero's spreads are seemingly unmatched.

To compare Exness to other brokers or symbols not currently displayed, click the orange "Edit" button and make your selections. Spreads represents the difference between the bid (sell) price and the ask (buy) price of an asset. Some accounts also charge a commission in addition to the spread, increasing the overall transaction cost.

Exness provides a wide range of trading instruments, including forex pairs, and CFDs on stocks, indices, metals, energies, and some cryptocurrencies. CFDs allow leveraged speculation on price movements without owning the underlying asset.

Note: CFDs (Contracts for Difference) let you speculate on price movements without owning the asset. This offers leverage and flexibility, but also increases risk.

Exness' swap rates (overnight holding costs) vary. For forex, they are sometimes cheaper, sometimes more expensive than competitors, depending on the currency pair and trade direction. For commodities, Exness charges a fee for both long and short positions.

Pepperstone and IC Markets often have lower swap rates for long forex positions. Admirals tends to be more expensive, especially for commodities. HFM is mid-range. Exness applies a triple swap charge on Wednesdays.

What are Exness rebates?

Exness rebates are a portion of the transaction cost that is paid back to the client on each trade, resulting in a lower spread and improved win ratio. For example, if your rebate is 1 pip and the spread is 3 pips, then your net spread is only 2 pips.

Many traders initially believe there must be higher costs elsewhere to compensate, however they soon find there is no catch and Forex rebates truly reduce the costs of the transaction and improve their bottom line.

How do Exness rebates work?

When you link a new or existing forex trading account to us the broker pays us part of their spread or commission profit for every trade you make as compensation for referring a customer to them. We then share the majority of our revenue with you, paying you a cash rebate for each trade you make as thank you for signing up with us.

Unlike some of our competitors your spreads will never increase as a result of using our service! The only difference is: as our client you earn extra cash per trade, making trading through us more profitable than opening direct with the broker. Founded in 2007, we are the original and leading provider of forex rebates. We pay rebates to over 100,000 accounts and traders love our helpful 24 hour live chat, telephone and email support.
