Two things decide whether you can trade: the broker must accept your country, and your own country's law must allow you to trade with a foreign broker. A broker accepting you does not make it legal where you live, so check both.
Your country
No country found
LiteFinance Global also excludes some other countries.
What traders get
What to watch
Ten parameters, weighted the same way for every broker. The share shows how much each one counts towards the score; the label is what we found for LiteFinance.
A regulator licenses brokers and supervises how they treat clients. Top-tier regulators such as the FCA (UK), ASIC (Australia) and CySEC (EU) set strict rules on client money, leverage and complaints; offshore regulators set lighter ones. Most brokers run several companies, and the one named in your client agreement decides which rules protect you. Negative balance protection means you cannot lose more than the money in your account.
LiteFinance has run as a brand since 2005. Which company you deal with depends on where you live. Pick your region:
LiteFinance Global LLC does not serve clients in the EEA, the US, Israel, Russia and some other countries.
LiteFinance's pages name a licence for its EU and Mauritius companies, but none for LiteFinance Global LLC. Check the company named in your client agreement, and its licence, before you deposit.
Is LiteFinance regulated? Full check →Before you can trade or withdraw, a broker must check who you are. This is called KYC, short for "know your customer". You usually upload a photo ID and a recent bill or bank statement showing your address. Practise on a demo account with virtual money before you deposit real money.
Turn on two-factor authentication with Google Authenticator, SMS or email. Demo accounts work for 45 days and reset each time you log in through the trading platform.
Step-by-step account guide →The spread is the gap between the buy and sell price, and it is the main cost on accounts without commission. A pip is the fourth decimal on most currency pairs (0.0001); on one standard lot of EUR/USD, 1 pip is worth about $10. Raw and ECN accounts have tighter spreads but add a fixed commission per lot, so always compare the total cost.
Classic and Cent put the cost in the spread. ECN has no mark-up on spreads and charges commission per lot, taken when you open on MT4, MT5 and the LiteFinance terminal.
| Cost | What LiteFinance charges |
|---|---|
| ECN commission | Forex majors and crosses $5 per lot, minors $6, metals $5, indices $3.50, oil $0.50, shares 0.1%, crypto 0.12% |
| Deposits | No LiteFinance fee. ZERO Fees reimburses payment-system fees on cards and e-payments automatically; bank fees on request within 2 weeks. Not for crypto. |
| Inactivity | $10 per 30 days once the account has had no trading or balance activity for 3 months |
| Overnight swap | Charged at 00:00 platform time, triple on the Wednesday-to-Thursday rollover |
| VPS | Paid: from $15 a month (1 GB) to $95 (8 GB) |

One standard lot (100,000 units) opened and closed, using each broker's cheapest published EUR/USD pricing: spread × $10 plus the round-turn commission. "From" spreads are best-case, so live costs at those brokers are usually higher than shown; "average" and "typical" are the brokers' own published averages. Swaps are not included. Sources: each broker's own site, checked between 30 September and 19 October 2026.
A swap is interest you pay or earn when you keep a trade open past the daily rollover, because a currency trade borrows one currency to buy another. Many brokers charge three days on Wednesday to cover the weekend. An Islamic or swap-free account removes this interest, sometimes with a fixed admin fee instead.
| How to apply | Profile › Verification › Islamic account application. Reviewed within one business day; every new account after that is swap-free. |
|---|---|
| Cost | No extra maintenance fee and no wider spreads. |
| Accounts and markets | Classic, Cent and ECN; forex, crypto, stocks, indices and commodities. |
| Non-Muslim clients | Can be offered it under the loyalty programme, at LiteFinance's discretion. |
A standard lot is 100,000 units of currency, a mini lot 10,000 and a micro lot 1,000. A cent account shows your balance in cents, so you can trade very small sizes while you learn. Standard accounts usually cost more in spread; raw accounts cost less in spread but charge commission.

Cent is offered to clients in countries including Bangladesh, Indonesia, Malaysia, Nigeria, the Philippines, South Africa, Thailand and Vietnam, or on request. Margin call is at 100%. ECN allows 500 open orders, Classic and Cent 300.
LiteFinance account types compared →Leverage lets you open a bigger position with less money: at 1:100, $100 controls $10,000. It multiplies losses exactly as much as profits. Margin is the money held to keep a trade open; at the margin call level you are warned, and at the stop out level the broker starts closing your trades. Most beginners are safer with low leverage.
| Maximum | 1:1000 on ECN, Classic and Cent (1:500 on swap-free Cent) |

| Margin call | LiteFinance may close positions once equity falls below 100% of margin |

MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and MetaTrader 5 (MT5) are the most widely used trading platforms; MT5 is newer, with more markets and tools. cTrader and TradingView are popular for their charts. Expert advisors (EAs) are programs that trade automatically on MetaTrader.

LiteFinance platforms compared →Most of what brokers offer are CFDs (contracts for difference): you trade the price of gold, an index, a share or a coin without owning it. Spreads differ from market to market and usually widen around big news and when markets open.
| Market | Accounts | ECN commission |
|---|---|---|
| ForexMajors, crosses, minors | ECN, Classic, Cent | $5 · $5 · $6 per lot |
| MetalsGold, silver | ECN, Classic, Cent | $5 per lot |

LiteFinance delists coins from time to time (STR/USD was removed on 3 September 2026 after a close-only period).
Crypto trading with LiteFinance →Copy trading automatically copies another trader's positions into your account. Their past results do not guarantee future ones, and you pay them through a profit share or a wider spread. Start with a small amount and keep a stop loss.
| Company fees | None on top of the trader's profit share. |
|---|---|
| Copiers | Usually from $50 (a trader can set more). Four copy types; your stop terms are checked every 15 seconds. |
| Traders | Full verification and a $300 deposit to be ranked ($500 recommended). You set the profit share; changes apply only to new copiers. |
| Settlement | Daily rollover at 01:00 platform time; commission is paid on profit. LiteFinance says copying takes under 0.5 seconds. |
To stop money laundering, brokers usually send withdrawals back to the card, bank or wallet you deposited from, and only to an account in your own name. You must be verified to withdraw, and your bank or payment provider can add its own time and fees.
Money goes back to the same wallet and currency you deposited from, in proportion if you used several. Auto-withdrawal allows up to 5 a day and $5,000 in total ($2,000 in Kenya and Tanzania) for fully verified clients.
LiteFinance withdrawals explained →A deposit bonus is usually trading credit, not cash. It adds margin to your account, but you cannot withdraw it, only the profits you make, and often only after trading a set volume. Read the terms before you accept one.
| Offer | What you get |
|---|---|

LiteFinance suits small and Asian or African traders well: a $10 cent account where it is offered, ECN pricing without a mark-up, MT4, MT5 and cTrader, a swap-free option with no hidden costs and ZERO Fees on deposits. The weaknesses are protection and upkeep. Most non-EU clients deal with a company incorporated in St Vincent & the Grenadines with no licence named, support stops at weekends and dormant accounts pay $10 a month.

Traded with LiteFinance?
About two minutes. We read every review before it is published.LiteFinance lists CySEC and the FSC Mauritius among its companies, but none of them holds an FCA licence, so UK traders have no FCA protection there.
Liteforex (Europe) LTD holds CySEC licence 093/08 and LiteFinance Investment Limited holds FSC Mauritius licence GB20025921. But LiteFinance Global LLC, which provides Classic and ECN accounts to most non-EU clients, is incorporated in St Vincent & the Grenadines, and LiteFinance names no licence for it.
