Who Exness suits

EU retail clients are not served since 2021. One of the largest brokers in the world by volume; publishes monthly trading volumes. Weak spots: no eu retail entity — eu clients are not accepted; no bonuses or promotions; standard spreads wider than raw/zero.

Who Vantage suits

From $50, TradingView, copy trading, bonus. Best for Asia, Central Asia & low deposits. We hold a live account at Vantage and measure conditions monthly — details in the review.

Our take

If a familiar brand or bonuses matter most, Exness remains a workable choice. If you value execution and withdrawal conditions we have tested, all-in cost and a clear contracting entity for your country — Vantage.
