Exness: A Quick Overview
Before diving into its geographical presence, it’s important to understand what Exness is. Exness is a global multi-asset broker founded in 2008, offering trading in forex, indices, stocks, cryptocurrencies, energies, and metals. It is known for its tight spreads, fast execution, and a strong focus on transparency. Regulated by several financial authorities including the FSA (Seychelles), FSCA (South Africa), and CySEC (Cyprus), Exness caters to both retail and professional traders with a flexible and competitive trading environment.
Where Exness Works: Countries with Full Availability
Exness is fully available and functional in a large number of countries across several continents. Traders in these regions can open accounts, deposit and withdraw funds, and access the full suite of trading instruments and tools provided by Exness.
1. Asia
Exness has a particularly strong presence in Asia. Some of the countries where Exness is actively serving traders include:
· Vietnam
· Thailand
· Malaysia
· Indonesia
· India
· Pakistan
· Philippines
· Bangladesh
· Sri Lanka
· Nepal
· Kazakhstan
· Uzbekistan
Asian traders enjoy local payment options, localized support, and often regional promotions or account managers tailored to their country.
2. Africa
Exness has aggressively expanded its services across Africa in recent years, making it a top broker choice for many African traders.
· South Africa (under FSCA regulation)
· Kenya
· Nigeria
· Ghana
· Uganda
· Tanzania
· Egypt
· Morocco
· Zambia
· Ivory Coast
Exness provides local payment methods like mobile money and bank transfers in several African countries, boosting its popularity.
3. Latin America

· Mexico
· Colombia
· Argentina
· Chile
· Peru
· Ecuador
Language support, however, may vary and might not be as robust as in Asia or Africa.

4. Middle East
The Middle East is another region where Exness has made strategic inroads. It is accessible in:
· United Arab Emirates
· Saudi Arabia
· Qatar
· Kuwait
· Bahrain
· Oman
· Jordan
· Lebanon
Arabic language support and Islamic (swap-free) account options are often offered in this region.
5. Europe (Selected Countries)
Exness used to serve clients across Europe through its CySEC license. However, due to regulatory restructuring, its availability is now limited. That said, Exness still accepts clients from several European countries, including:
· Cyprus
· Bulgaria
· Romania
· Czech Republic
· Slovakia
· Hungary
· Poland
European clients must typically register under Exness’s CySEC-regulated entity, which imposes more restrictions and lower leverage caps than offshore branches.
Where Exness Does Not Work
Despite its wide international reach, Exness is not available in some regions, either due to regulatory restrictions or the broker’s internal risk management policies.
1. United States
Exness does not accept clients from the United States. This is due to strict regulatory requirements imposed by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the National Futures Association (NFA). Exness, like many international brokers, has chosen not to seek regulatory approval in the U.S. market.
2. Canada
Canadian residents are also restricted from using Exness. The fragmented and strict regulatory environment in Canada (with separate financial regulators in each province) makes it difficult for foreign brokers to operate there.
3. European Economic Area (EEA) - Largely Restricted
While Exness maintains a CySEC license and serves a few EU nations, most of the European Economic Area is off-limits unless clients are registered under the CySEC entity. Even then, leverage and product offerings are significantly limited compared to offshore jurisdictions.
4. United Kingdom
Post-Brexit, Exness no longer serves clients in the United Kingdom, as it does not hold an FCA license. British traders will have to look elsewhere for a regulated broker.
5. Australia
Exness does not accept clients from Australia due to the regulatory requirements imposed by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC).
6. North Korea, Iran, Syria, and Other Sanctioned Nations
Countries under heavy international sanctions—such as North Korea, Iran, Syria, and Cuba—are also excluded. Exness adheres to international sanctions laws and anti-money laundering regulations.
How to Know If Exness Is Available in Your Country
To check if Exness is available in your country:
· Visit the official Exness website from your local IP address. If the platform loads normally, registration is typically allowed.
· Try to create an account. If your country is restricted, the platform will inform you during the sign-up process.
· Contact Exness live chat support to confirm availability.
· Check the footer or legal section of the website for country-specific disclaimers.
It’s important to use your real information during registration. Providing false details or using a VPN to bypass restrictions can lead to account closure or withdrawal issues later.
Why Exness Avoids Certain Countries
Exness doesn’t operate in some jurisdictions primarily for two reasons:
1. Regulatory Barriers:
Countries like the U.S., Canada, and Australia have complex and expensive regulatory frameworks. Unless a broker gets licensed locally, they cannot serve residents. The cost and limitations often outweigh the benefits for Exness.
2. Risk and Compliance Management:
To maintain its international licenses and reputation, Exness must enforce strict Know Your Customer (KYC), Anti-Money Laundering (AML), and compliance practices. Some regions pose high operational or legal risks that Exness chooses to avoid.
Can You Use a VPN to Access Exness from a Restricted Country?
Technically, using a VPN might allow you to visit the Exness website or even register an account. However, this practice is highly discouraged. Exness has robust compliance systems that will eventually detect inconsistencies in your data. Even if you manage to trade for a while, withdrawals can be blocked if your true residency is uncovered.
In short: Don’t use a VPN to bypass Exness restrictions. It’s not worth the risk.
Final Thoughts: Is Exness Available in Your Country?
Exness is a globally trusted broker with operations in over 100 countries, especially strong in Asia, Africa, and parts of the Middle East and Latin America. However, if you live in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., or Australia, you won’t be able to use Exness legally. Always check the official website or contact support for confirmation before creating an account.
The good news is that if you are located in an eligible country, Exness offers one of the most competitive and user-friendly trading experiences available today—complete with tight spreads, multiple account types, and fast withdrawals. If you're in one of the supported regions, Exness can be an excellent choice for your trading journey.
