Frequently asked questions
How does Spreadwise compare two brokers?
We compare brokers side by side on facts we can verify: which regulators authorise them, the platforms they offer, and their track record. We never invent spreads, minimum deposits or ratings — where a figure is not yet confirmed by a hands-on review, it stays blank rather than being guessed at.
What matters most when comparing forex brokers?
Regulation first: confirm the exact entity serving your country is authorised on a real register. Then compare all-in cost — spread plus commission plus overnight financing, not the headline spread alone — and the trading platforms offered. ESMA protections such as the 30:1 leverage cap and negative-balance protection apply to regulated EU and UK firms.
Is a bigger or older broker automatically safer?
Not necessarily. A large group can hold strong licences in some countries and weaker offshore licences in others, and the protection that applies is the one on the entity holding your account. Always check the specific entity on the regulator register rather than relying on brand size or how long the group has existed.
Do these comparisons apply to France and Spain?
The factual comparisons are informational and apply everywhere, but we run no partner links or sign-up calls-to-action for France or Spain. France's Loi Sapin II and Spain's CNMV rules restrict CFD advertising to retail clients, so our coverage for those markets is information-only.
