Fortrade: Mauritius CFD pricing, payment thresholds, platforms and regional entities

Fortrade’s Mauritius CFD prices and payment thresholds, differing inactivity triggers, client-money hedging provisions, account termination and regional company distinctions.

Profile scope

Commercial figures cover the Mauritius route. The selected entity map adds UK and Dubai context; these terms do not describe every Fortrade jurisdiction.

  • The general deposit minimum is 100 in EUR, GBP or USD; Mauritius wire instructions set 250 in each currency.
  • Published Mauritius averages include EUR/USD at 2.5 pips; wider night spreads apply to selected products.
  • The current inactivity FAQ says six months, but the linked Mauritius agreement retains two months.

Fortrade combines its own Fortrader platform with MetaTrader 4 and a spread-based CFD offering. This reference uses the Mauritius account route for pricing and payments, with separate UK and Dubai company context. The international website advertises more than 500 instruments across currencies, shares, indices, commodities, US Treasuries, ETFs and cryptocurrencies; these are CFDs, not ownership of the underlying investments.[1][14]

Fortrade advertises zero trading commission. A one-lot EUR/USD illustration uses 100,000 euros of exposure and USD 10 per pip: at the published 2.5-pip spread, opening and closing with an unchanged market implies USD 25 in spread cost. Financing, currency conversion and any execution slippage are additional; this is arithmetic using the quoted schedule, not a measured trading result.[1][4][12]

The UK retail account has a different margin framework: its agreement describes initial margin ranging from 3.33% to 20% by product and close-out at 50% of required margin. The Mauritius figures above should therefore not be applied to a UK retail account.[16]

Swap-free weekly chargeSeven times the normal daily swap for currencies, indices, agricultural products, precious metals, energy and US TreasuriesApplied on Thursday for positions held across 21:00 GMT from Wednesday; scaled to position size.Source 13
Inactivity: current FAQUSD 10 per month, converted into the account currencyAfter six consecutive months without a deposit, withdrawal or trading activity, including a pending order.Source 10
Currency conversionConversion costs passed to the client; rate determined by FortradeApplies where a deposit differs from the trading account currency.Source 15

The inactivity documents disagree: the currently linked Mauritius agreement dated 27 November 2025 retains a two-month trigger, while the current FAQ states six months. That difference matters to an unused account and requires account-specific clarification. Swap-free share and ETF positions also have a separate percentage-based weekly schedule; the arrangement does not remove all holding costs.[15][13][10]

Bank transferAllow up to seven business days for money to reach the broker’s bank; sender-bank charges may applyThe wire form says settlement generally occurs within five business days of sending the completed form.Source 6Source 8
Credit/debit cardListed as an accepted deposit methodThe FAQ allows up to 15 business days for a refund. Card refunds are limited to the amount deposited by that route.Source 5Source 7Source 9
Other routesBitPay and alternative/local providers are listed; availability depends on the account regionFor additional funds beyond card deposits, the FAQ describes bank transfer or an emailed Neteller request.Source 5Source 9

The Mauritius agreement makes its five-business-day payment commitment conditional on full verification, complete instructions, sufficient balance including fees and an eligible account in the client’s name. Additional checks can extend processing. Third-party transfer charges are borne by the client, and the agreement permits account-dependent withdrawal fees; it does not establish a universal free-withdrawal promise.[15]

Mauritius client money and account exit

Sections ↑

The Mauritius agreement permits pooled segregated accounts, but also transfers for liquidity-provider margin and authorised hedging. It expressly says funds moved to a liquidity provider lose trust protection; third-party failure can leave an unsecured shortfall. The agreement separately provides negative-balance protection at trading-account level. That limit on account liability does not guarantee recovery of cash following a company or counterparty failure.[15]

Complaints first go through the company’s procedure. Clause 34 identifies the Mauritius FSC as the onward route if the client disputes the outcome; it preserves legal-action rights. It does not make the UK Ombudsman route part of this Mauritius contract.[15]

Automation needs attention to the account contract: the Mauritius agreement requires prior written consent before activating a trading robot. General MT4 functionality does not itself provide that permission.[15]

Fortrade advertises customer support 24 hours a day, five days a week; its Mauritius contact number is +44 20 4571 7564, with withdrawal assistance at [email protected]. Product trading sessions are instrument-specific.[14][8]

Company history and regional entities

Sections ↑

The UK company was incorporated on 22 July 2013 and changed its name from Integrisafe Limited to Fortrade Limited in May 2014. Its UK agreement identifies Michelin House, 81 Fulham Road, London as its principal business address. Companies House currently records an active statement that the company has no registrable person or relevant legal entity with significant control; previously listed corporate controllers are ceased entries, not a current ownership map.[17][16][18]

The Mauritius product issuer is separate from Fortrade Limited in the UK and Fortrade (DIFC) Limited in Dubai. The DFSA’s current firm record dates the Dubai licence to 14 November 2025, includes retail-client and client-asset endorsements, and limits principal dealing to a matched-principal basis. These are permissions for that Dubai entity, not proof that the Mauritius tariff applies to its clients.[19]
