FxNet – Review summary

FxNet must comply with the strict regulatory guidelines of the CySEC regulatory authority. The broker offers a wide range of forex pairs, but the spreads that FxNet charges on these assets are not exactly low and can hardly compete with the spreads of other popular CFD brokers.

In addition to spreads, FxNet also charges huge fees when depositing and withdrawing. When you use your card to deposit funds, the broker will charge you a full 3% of the deposited amount and then do the same for withdrawals. For other payment methods, the fees are slightly lower, but not by much.

Advantages

  • Relatively strict regulation
  • Wide choice of currency pairs
  • Quite low minimum deposit

Disadvantages

  • Not really good spreads
  • High fees when depositing or withdrawing
