Equiti Brokerage (Seychelles) Ltd

Equiti Brokerage (Seychelles) Ltd is a multi-asset broker registered in Seychelles and operating under the Equiti Group. The broker provides online trading services in forex, indices, commodities, shares, ETFs, futures, and crypto CFDs. It is part of a global network with entities regulated in multiple jurisdictions, including the UAE, UK, and Jordan.

The broker’s official website, equiti.com, presents it as an award-winning broker with a focus on low costs, high leverage, and secure trading. The Seychelles entity specifically targets international traders, offering leverage up to 1:2000 and support in multiple languages.

Equiti Brokerage (Seychelles) Ltd is regulated by the Seychelles Financial Services Authority (FSA) as a Securities Dealer. This licence is confirmed in official records. The FSA is considered a lower-tier regulator compared to major bodies like the FCA or ASIC, meaning it provides less stringent oversight and no investor compensation schemes.

Clients’ funds are reportedly held in segregated accounts with reputable banks, as stated on the website. However, the lack of a top-tier regulatory licence increases the risk profile. Traders should exercise caution and understand that dispute resolution may be less robust compared to brokers regulated in major financial hubs.

Equiti offers multiple account types designed to suit different trading styles and experience levels. According to the website, accounts come with tight spreads from 0.0 pips and low-to-zero commission. The broker highlights fast execution and secure transactions across all account tiers.

Minimum deposit requirements and specific spreads vary by account type, though detailed comparisons are available on the broker’s site. A demo account is also offered for risk-free practice. The welcome bonus of 30% extra trading credit is available for new live accounts, subject to terms.

The broker supports the industry-standard MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and MetaTrader 5 (MT5) platforms. These platforms are available for desktop, web, and mobile devices, providing advanced charting tools, technical indicators, and automated trading capabilities via Expert Advisors.

Equiti claims to integrate these platforms with deep liquidity pools for competitive pricing and fast execution. Traders can access a range of financial instruments directly from the platform interface. The broker also offers free trading signals and market analysis tools to assist decision-making.

Equiti provides CFD trading on a wide range of asset classes, including forex pairs, major indices, commodities (such as gold and oil), single shares, ETFs, futures, and cryptocurrencies. This allows traders to speculate on price movements without owning the underlying asset.

The broker’s product range is designed to cover global markets, from US and European stocks to emerging market indices. Leverage is available on many instruments, with maximum leverage up to 1:2000 for certain products, as advertised on the website.

A variety of deposit and withdrawal methods are accepted, including credit/debit cards, eWallets (such as Skrill and Neteller), and local bank transfers. The broker supports multiple currencies: USD, EUR, GBP, AED, SAR, and JOD.

Deposits are typically processed instantly, while withdrawal times may vary by method. Equiti states that it does not charge internal fees for deposits or withdrawals, but third-party fees may apply. The broker emphasizes security by holding client funds in segregated accounts with Tier 1 banks.

Equiti offers customer support 24 hours a day, 5 days a week, with dedicated account managers available in Arabic and English. Support is accessible via phone, email, and live chat from the website.

The broker also provides educational resources and market updates to help traders stay informed. Local support teams are based in Dubai and other regional offices, aiming to resolve queries quickly.
