About AFAQ TRADE
Who is AFAQ Trade?
AFAQ Trade is a retail forex and CFD broker registered in Comoros and founded on 18 August 2025. The broker operates through the website afaq.trade and presents itself as a global multi-asset platform targeting both beginner and experienced traders.
Despite claims of regulatory compliance on its website, FXCanary’s records show no verifiable regulatory licences for AFAQ Trade. The broker is not listed with any major financial regulator. Traders should exercise caution when dealing with unregulated entities.
Account Types and Minimum Deposits
AFAQ Trade offers four account tiers differentiated by deposit size: Basic (up to $4,999), Advanced ($5,000–$19,999), Premium ($20,000 and above), and Sharia ($20,000 and above). The Basic account includes a welcome bonus on first deposit and overnight swap fees charged daily except weekends, with triple swap on Wednesdays. The Sharia account is swap-free, catering to Islamic traders.
Maximum leverage is not specified on the site or in our records. The tiered structure suggests the broker aims to accommodate traders at various capital levels, though the high minimum for Premium and Sharia accounts ($20,000) may deter smaller retail participants.
Trading Platforms and Instruments
The broker provides multiple platforms: a mobile web platform, dedicated Android and iOS apps, and a desktop web platform. These aim to offer real-time synchronisation across devices and fast execution. The website mentions smart charting tools, live market insights, and personalised alerts.
AFAQ Trade lists currencies, indices, and commodities as available instruments. It does not specify the number of currency pairs or individual assets. The focus on forex and CFDs is consistent with a retail FX/CFD broker profile.
Deposits, Withdrawals and Fees
AFAQ Trade states that deposits can be made via credit card, with funds added within minutes. Withdrawals are described as fast and secure. All transactions are encrypted using SSL technology. The broker promotes competitive spreads and no hidden fees, though exact spread figures are not disclosed.
The absence of detailed fee schedules and deposit/withdrawal methods (beyond credit card) limits transparency. Traders should verify available payment options and associated costs before committing funds.
Regulatory Status and Risk Considerations
AFAQ Trade is registered in Comoros but holds no regulatory licences from known authorities. The broker’s website claims to operate under strict regulatory standards, but our cross-check found no matching register entry. This discrepancy raises concerns about the veracity of its claims.
Unregulated brokers offer no investor protection, no recourse to a financial ombudsman, and no guarantee of fund segregation. FXCanary’s Scam Risk Score of 62/100 (Elevated) reflects these risks. Traders should treat any unregulated broker with heightened caution.
