Exness Minimum Deposit – As Low As It Goes in ZAR, USD, EUR, or GBP

The Exness minimum deposit is just $1! You can equate that to around 16.5 ZAR in South Africa to get a trading account started, which is as low as you will find on the market. This level makes Exness one of the most financially accessible brokers in the industry, perfect for those looking to get started in forex trading with a limited budget.

Of course, with the Exness minimum deposit being so low does come with some trade-offs; main one being, that you will struggle to create trades with meaningful margin to allow space to breath. You will also find yourself limited to trading on a micro account, which is not a bad thing in itself as it offers much smaller contract sizes than a standard account. This means your potential risks, and any potential profits will be downsized too.

Still, if you’re just starting out in forex trading then the Exness minimum deposit could be perfect for you, or you could choose to start with something a little more than this but at your own preference, rather than it being insisted upon by the trading platform. Starting small does allow you to get your feet wet without risking too much capital, and once you’ve built up your skills and confidence, you can always move up to a standard account and trade with larger contract sizes should you prefer. Never be in a rush to risk more than you feel confident with!

Exness Account types – International Users Have Different Options Than Europeans At This Time

For retail traders, you will only be able to use Exness if you are outside of the EU, as the European business, whilst regulated, seeks to focus on the B2B and Institutional aspects of forex trading. For those inside Europe, you can find some approved brokers and trading platforms here.

The retail side continues to grow a rapid rate, with Exness Malaysia, South Africa, Nigeria, India, Philippines, and Latin America user numbers (amongst others) continuing to show no sign of slowing down. If you are not from one of the Exness restricted countries, or Europe, you can continue on to find out more about the various account types offered.

You will find that there are five types of accounts available at Exness: Standard, Standard Cent, Pro, Zero, and Raw Spread. The main differences between the account types are spreads, commissions, execution type, leverage, & minimum deposit as you will see from the table below.

Exness	Standard	Cent	Pro	Zero	Raw
Minimum Deposit	From $1	From $1	$200	$200	$200
Leverage	1:2000*	1:2000*	1:2000	1:2000	1:2000
Spreads	From 0.3	From 0.3	From 0.1	From 0.0**	From 0.0
Execution	Market	Market	Instant	Market	Market
Trading Platforms	MT4, MT5	MT4	MT4, MT5	MT4, MT5	MT4, MT5
Margin Call	60%	60%	30%	30%	30%

Standard Accounts

Both standard accounts are the entry account type at Exness; with a leverage of up to 1:2000, and a minimum deposit of just $1 (depending on the deposit method chosen). Spreads on both these accounts start from 0.3 pips, and the main difference between the two is the lack of MT5 availability on the standard cent account.

Pro Accounts

The remaining 3 account types are considered the Exness pro level offering, and have a lower margin required, alongside reduced spreads. The Raw spreads account it should be noted does have a commission payable per round lot instead, which is $3.5 per round turn; and the Zero account has commissions from $0.2 per lot.

Exness’ minimum deposit with these account types is higher, although at $200, this is still in line with many other brokers’ basic account minimum requirements. Once the initial deposit has been made above $200, future deposits can be made below this level from $1, depending on the payment method chosen.

Exness ZAR Account Minimum Deposit

Offering users the ability to run their accounts in ZAR as a base currency is not all that common, with most brokers keeping account currencies to the ‘majors’ such as USD, EUR, or GBP.

Exness is one of those forex brokers in South Africa that does offer a ZAR base currency account, with the deposit levels consistent with that of the USD base accounts. That would mean the Exness minimum deposit ZAR is from 16.5 for Standard accounts (depending on deposit method chosen), and around 3,300 ZAR for Pro, Zero, and Raw.
