RaiseFX Review 2027

RaiseFX: Key Facts

In short: RaiseFX is an ECN/STP forex and CFD broker that presents itself as a long-term trading partner. It offers MT5 on desktop and mobile, leverage of up to 1:500, and a range of local payment methods. Its South African entity is regulated by the FSCA as a juristic representative, so the regulatory setup is worth understanding before you fund an account.

The brand's tagline, "You know how to reach your full potential, we know it too," is marketing language. This review focuses on the facts you can check: ownership, licensing, costs, platforms and support. Where our data is incomplete or conflicts with the company's own statements, we say so.

Before you open an account, check the broker's licence in the official FCA Financial Services Register.

The FCA register is a UK database and does not cover RaiseFX's South African entity. For this broker, search the FSCA's public register and confirm that the FSP 50455 licence is listed under the correct company name.

RaiseFX Ownership and Regulation Explained

RaiseFX.com is owned and operated by RaiseGroup LLP, a company registered in Kazakhstan under identification number 10100540689586. RaiseGroup LLP holds a licence issued by the Financial Supervision Committee of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan under identification KZ12UWX00001735.

The South African Entity and Its Registration

Raise Group SA (Pty) Ltd is a company registered in South Africa with registration number 2022/331987/07. The company is authorised and regulated by the South African Financial Sector Conduct Authority as a Juristic Representative of Insele Capital Partners (FSP 50455). Because two separate entities are involved, check which company will hold your account before you deposit.

Our database gives the office address as Portside Building, 4 Bree Street, 8000 Cape Town, South Africa. The regulatory text in the company's disclosures gives a registered address of 75 Maude Street, Sandton, Gauteng. Confirm the current address on the official site and in the client agreement.

How the Intermediary Structure Works

Insele Capital Partners acts as an intermediary for RaiseGroup LLP using a straight-through process. According to the disclosures, the FSP is not a market maker or product issuer. It acts solely as an intermediary under the FAIS Act between the client and RaiseGroup LLP, which is the product supplier.

The company also states that Raise Group SA does not conduct market-making for the derivative products it offers. It says it does not act as principal or counterparty in its transactions. This is a useful point to understand, but read the client agreement to see how orders are executed and who you are dealing with on the trade, and whether your orders are routed to liquidity providers under the ECN/STP model. Read these sections carefully, because the client agreement, not the marketing page, sets out your rights and the company's obligations.

Account Types and Base Currencies

Our database lists a standard account and a mini account. The standard account suits most traders, while the mini account is designed for smaller position sizes. The database gives a figure of 100 for the mini account, but the currency and minimum conditions should be confirmed on the official site before you rely on it.

A demo account is available, which lets you test MT5, order types and margin behaviour without risking real funds. Base currencies include EUR, USD, GBP, SEK, DKK, ZAR, NOK, PLN, AUD, AED and CZK, among others. Choosing a base currency that matches your funding method can reduce conversion costs.

Trading Conditions: Spreads, Leverage and Fees

The company advertises a 0.0 pip spread on major pairs, marked with an asterisk. In practice, spreads on major pairs move with market conditions, the time of day and the account type. Treat a zero figure as a best-case scenario and compare live quotes during your usual trading hours, especially around news releases.

Maximum leverage is up to 1:500. High leverage means a small price move can produce a large gain or loss relative to your deposit. Many traders use far less than the maximum, and it makes sense to size positions so that a losing trade does not damage your account.

Our database does not record a commission figure, so check whether one applies to your account type. Swap charges apply to positions held overnight, so keeping trades open past the daily rollover has a cost. Ask the support team for the current swap rates on the instruments you trade.

The company also states that clients can trade more than 500 assets. Our database confirms that assets are available but does not verify that number, so check the instrument list inside the platform. Automated trading, hedging and scalping are listed as permitted, though you should confirm any restrictions for your chosen account.

The 100% deposit bonus is listed in our database, but bonus terms usually include conditions on trading volume and withdrawals. These can change the real value of the offer considerably. For a closer look at a no-deposit offer from this broker, read our no-deposit trading bonus guide.

Trading Platforms and Apps

MT5 is available on desktop, in a web terminal, on Android, and as separate iPhone and iPad versions. The company also provides its own platform apps for Android and iOS. Because MT5 is widely used, traders who have worked with other brokers will likely find the layout familiar.

Automated trading and expert advisors are list ed in our database, with the note that automated strategies should be checked against the broker's terms before use. Expert advisors are also listed, but the rules for running them, including any restrictions on scalping or hedging on specific accounts, should be confirmed in the platform's help section.

The MT5 apps on mobile devices let you manage orders, charts and account details from a phone or tablet. The RaiseFX Platform apps for Android and iOS are the broker's own products. Test both the desktop and mobile versions on a demo account to see which one fits your workflow.

Deposits, Withdrawals and Payment Methods

RaiseFX lists a range of popular payment methods, including bank wire, debit and credit cards, Neteller, Skrill and FasaPay. Local payment options are also offered in several countries, including Indonesia, Malaysia, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nigeria, Thailand and India. Availability depends on where you live, so check which methods appear in your account area.

Our database does not give deposit fees, minimum amounts or withdrawal processing times. Before you fund an account, read the official fee schedule and ask support for the exact figures. Keep in mind that third-party e-wallets and card providers may charge their own fees.

Customer Support and Education

Our database records 24-hour support, while the earlier version of this page described phone support on five days a week. These two statements do not match, so confirm the actual hours and channels, such as live chat, email or phone, on the official website. A quick test question before you deposit can show how responsive the team is.

Free education is listed among the broker's services. Materials of this kind usually cover platform basics, order types and risk management, which can help beginners. Judge the quality of the lessons by their accuracy and depth rather than by how many there are.
