EPIDI: EU mobile trading, CFD products, conflicting fees and client protections

EPIDI offers a Cyprus retail route to mobile forex and multi-asset CFD trading, with distinct Mauritius terms and material inconsistencies in its linked fee and margin documents.

Profile scope

Profile focuses on EU retail terms. App-store developer names do not identify the contracting entity.

Accounts and the EU client route

EPIDI offers mobile forex and multi-asset CFDs. This profile follows the Cyprus retail route; the global website identifies a separate Mauritius company with different terms and protections.[1][25]

Account access and classification

Account access and classification
Route or featurePublished position
EU retail accountEPIDI EU Ltd; the regulator’s approved website is epidi.com/eu/.Source 2
Account tiers and starting balanceThe EU site promotes fractional trade values but does not establish a fixed initial-deposit requirement or a named Standard/Raw/Pro account matrix. Fractional size is not a promise of a zero account-opening deposit.Source 1
Geographic eligibilityThe EU footer excludes, among others, the United States and Canada and rejects applicants under 18. Its full residence restrictions apply to onboarding.Source 1
Elective professional statusRequires company assessment, a written request and risk acknowledgement; it is not an account upgrade obtained simply by depositing more.Source 13

The categorisation policy requires at least two of three professional opt-up criteria: ten significant trades per quarter over the preceding four quarters, a financial-instrument portfolio above EUR 500,000, or at least one year in a relevant financial-sector role. Professional classification can reduce protections.[13]

Metals and energyGold, silver, oil and natural-gas exposure through the advertised commodity range.Source 3Source 9
IndicesCash-settled index CFDs; the contract gives exposure to index movements rather than ownership of its constituent shares.Source 10
SharesShare CFDs are documented. The product page also discusses direct stocks, but availability depends on entity, jurisdiction and account; universal cash-share ownership is not established.Source 3Source 11
CryptoCryptocurrency CFDs are documented; buying one does not establish ownership or withdrawal of an underlying coin.Source 12

For applicable share and index CFDs, EPIDI describes dividend adjustments to long and short positions, adjustments for splits and spin-offs, and possible closure after delisting. These are contract adjustments, not shareholder voting rights. The product page says instrument-specific commission is displayed before execution.[3]

Trading charges and conflicting inactivity schedules

ChargePublished wordingConsequence
SpreadVariable; current pair-specific averages are not established.Spreads can widen.Source 5
CommissionUSD 0.60 per USD 100,000 at opening/closing; worked example EUR 3 per side.Applicable rate unresolved.Source 5
Overnight funding22:00 GMT; triple Tuesday in prose, Wednesday in the example.Current instrument rate/day needs confirmation.Source 5
Dormancy: costs policyUSD 5 monthly after 90 days, limited to the available free balance.Activity definitions differ.Source 5
Dormancy: agreementTwo-month no-transaction trigger, but monthly table: 0–2 months EUR 10; 2–3 EUR 15; 3–6 EUR 20; over 6 EUR 25.The first tier conflicts with that trigger and the separate USD policy.Source 6

Fee policy describes currency conversion on transfers, realised results and fees. Agreement §20.1 instead normally requires account-currency deposits and rules out converting credited balances. The service scope and current conversion rate remain unresolved.[5][6]

Order handling in the execution policy

Order handling in the execution policy
InstructionPublished handling
Market and pending ordersMarket orders plus buy/sell limits and stops; pending orders are described as good until cancelled.Source 7
Protective ordersStop-loss and take-profit can attach to positions. Long-side triggers use Bid and short-side triggers Ask.Source 7
Execution pricePositive or negative slippage is possible. Requotes require acceptance; a requested price is not guaranteed.Source 7
Size and venuesMinimum size varies by product; large orders can be rejected. The policy names LMAX Global and Vision Financial Markets as venues for relevant business.Source 7

The policy does not establish a universal maximum open-order count or a complete current stop/freeze-distance schedule. Its named venues are a routing disclosure, not measured evidence of fill speed, best price or the route taken by a particular order.[7]

Margin disclosures needing a current instrument specification

Margin disclosures needing a current instrument specification
DocumentWhat prevents a reliable universal leverage table
Forex KIDQuotes 1:30 alongside 3% initial margin, which are not mathematically equivalent. It describes 50% account-level close-out.Source 8
Index KIDAlso uses 1:30 and 3%; these document figures do not establish the current permitted setting for each index.Source 10
Commodity KIDRetains bracketed 10% margin and 1:5 leverage figures that do not match.Source 9
Share and crypto KIDsShares: bracketed 5% initial margin, 5% close-out and blank leverage; crypto also has unfilled parameters. The share close-out wording differs from the other KIDs.Source 11Source 12

The risk policy warns that technical failure can prevent execution. Closing an order window does not cancel an instruction, and resubmitting an unconfirmed instruction can duplicate it. The published support channels below are not documented as an emergency telephone-dealing service authorised to accept closing orders.[18][19]

CySEC authorisationEPIDI EU Ltd, licence 461/25, authorised on 20 October 2025; the current regulator record matches the EU domain.Source 2

Negative balanceThe forex KID describes negative-balance protection for retail clients; do not extrapolate it to another entity or professional classification.Source 8
Investor Compensation FundThe company policy identifies ICF membership. Eligible claims concern inability to return covered money or instruments, not compensation for trading losses.Source 14

Annual aggregate costs are emailed in money and as a percentage of invested funds, in account currency. CSV trade exports, tax certificates and post-closure access are not established.[5]

The June 2026 privacy policy describes identity, address, tax-residence, financial and bank information used for onboarding and service provision. Contact-list access for the asset-send feature is described separately. A public lost-authenticator procedure and a fixed post-reset withdrawal hold were not established.[23]

Additional services and authority

Sections ↑

The EU site promotes transfers between EPIDI users for eligible assets and subject to applicable terms. This does not establish that every CFD can be transferred or that assets can be delivered in specie to an external broker. No transferable cash bonus is included in the account economics.[1]

The regulator record includes portfolio-management and investment-advice permissions. Those permissions do not establish an available managed-account mandate, its minimum investment or its fee. The public EU platform material does not document a customer API, copy-disconnection rules or an AI service with trading authority.[2][4]

Company identity and regional separation

Sections ↑

The company’s 2025 Pillar 3 report, published in April 2026, dates its incorporation to 20 September 2022. This corporate history is distinct from the 2025 authorisation date and the website’s references to its team’s experience. The report is a dated company disclosure, not a current independent solvency assessment.[24]

The global footer names EPIDI MU Limited, registration C197684 GBC, and claims Mauritius investment-dealer licence GB23201808. An exact current official Mauritius entry was not retrieved. That separate claim is retained as not verified; Cyprus ICF coverage is not assigned to Mauritius accounts.[25]
