Products & platforms
Sections ↑ACY advertises more than 2,200 CFDs across FX, shares, indices, commodities, metals, ETFs and cryptocurrencies, with share access on MT5. Its Australian PDS identifies ACY Securities as the OTC CFD issuer; share and ETF CFDs provide derivative exposure rather than ownership.[2][5]

Fees & holding costs
Sections ↑Published ProZero FX commissions
| Account currency | Australian schedule | International schedule |
|---|---|---|
| USD | USD 3 round turn | USD 6 round turnSource 1 |
| AUD | AUD 3 round turn | AUD 8.50 round turnSource 1 |
| EUR | EUR 3 round turn | EUR 5.50 round turnSource 1 |
| GBP | GBP 3 round turn | GBP 5 round turnSource 1 |

Australian ProZero charges USD 3 per full FX lot round turn: USD 1.50 per side, versus USD 6 round turn internationally. Metals use the same Australian commission table. Listed index and cryptocurrency commissions are zero; spreads and financing remain.[1]
The ASX data fee is triggered by access to the live data, according to the support article, rather than by a stated minimum number of trades. Its example charges May access at the beginning of June. This makes it a distinct recurring cost alongside share commissions; the published fee is not a per-order data surcharge.[7]
Financing and other cost rules
| Cost | Published basis | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| Overnight financing | Position held at 23:59 platform time | Instrument and long/short direction determine charge or creditSource 5 |
| Weekend financing | Usually triple Wednesday for non-share CFDs; triple Friday for share CFDs | The linked Australian PDS allows changes for settlement and holidaysSource 5 |
| Currency conversion | Platform exchange rate; an additional spread or fee may apply | Profit/loss currency can differ from account currencySource 5 |
| International payments | AUD 25 disclosed in the linked Australian PDS | Separate from receiving-bank charges and the general monthly withdrawal allowanceSource 5 |
Execution & trading rules
Sections ↑Margin controls by account jurisdiction
| Subject | Published terms | Practical scope |
|---|---|---|
| Margin-call level | 100% | Equity divided by used margin, expressed as a percentage.Source 17 |
| Australian stop-out | 50% | The international 30% figure does not describe the Australian account.Source 17 |
| International stop-out | 30% under the cited support schedule | The serving entity and agreement determine eligibility.Source 17 |
| Liquidation sequence | Largest losing position first | Closed at an available market price; a threshold is not a guaranteed execution price.Source 17 |
Deposits, withdrawals & transfers
Sections ↑Australia-specific deposit methods
| Method | Published minimum / maximum | Published processing |
|---|---|---|
| Visa / Mastercard | AUD 50 / AUD 50,000 | Within 24 hoursSource 3 |
| PayID | AUD 50 / AUD 50,000 | Within 24 hoursSource 3 |
| Skrill / Neteller | AUD 50 / AUD 150,000 | Within 24 hoursSource 3 |
| Bank wire | USD 50 minimum; no maximum figure stated | 1–7 working daysSource 3 |
The currently published withdrawal allowance is five free withdrawals per calendar month. After the fifth, ACY states a fee of 25 units of the account’s base currency for each additional withdrawal. Its February 2026 processing guidance sets 21:00 AEST as the same-day cutoff, with later requests processed on the next business day. Processing by ACY is separate from the recipient bank’s arrival time.[10][11]
Protection & regulation
Sections ↑Opening an account & support
Sections ↑The dedicated contact page advertises multilingual support 24 hours a day, five days a week, through telephone, email and live chat. It lists Sydney and Melbourne offices. ACY describes itself as privately owned; the reviewed ownership statement does not supply a complete shareholder breakdown. Its wider group service menu includes institutional liquidity through ACY Connect and separate referral and trading-technology businesses.[4][14][2]
Additional services
Sections ↑An existing MetaTrader robot therefore cannot simply be moved to ACY’s proprietary interface on the assumption that every platform supports the same automation. The managed-account workflow is another separate arrangement: the investor retains withdrawal control and can terminate the limited trading authority by notifying ACY. Neither feature changes the market exposure of trades already made.[12][15]
