What is Exness?
Founded in 2008, Exness is a globally recognized forex and Contracts for Difference (CFD) broker headquartered in Cyprus. The platform serves over 1 million active traders across various regions, offering access to a wide range of financial instruments, including forex pairs, commodities, indices, cryptocurrencies, and stocks. Exness is celebrated for its tight spreads, fast execution, and support for popular trading platforms like MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and MetaTrader 5 (MT5). Additionally, the broker provides flexible leverage options, multiple account types (such as Standard and Professional accounts), and a proprietary Exness Terminal for seamless trading.
Exness operates under stringent regulatory oversight in several jurisdictions, which enhances its reputation for transparency and reliability. It is licensed by reputable authorities such as the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in the UK, the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC), the Financial Services Authority (FSA) in Seychelles, and the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) in South Africa, among others. These licenses ensure that Exness adheres to strict financial standards, including client fund segregation, negative balance protection, and robust anti-money laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) protocols. However, despite its global reach, Exness does not offer services to U.S. residents, which brings us to the core question of this article.
