Accounts & headline costs
Sections ↑FXOpen Ltd’s UK service has closed its customer accounts. The current website directs remaining customers to the Client Portal for withdrawal and says new applications are not accepted. Historic ECN tiers remain useful for checking previous charges, but should no longer be presented as a live UK product comparison.[6]
UK company and former-account reference
| Measure | Value | Context |
|---|---|---|
| Contracting company | FXOpen Ltd | English company 07273392; disclosed FCA reference 579202.Source 1 |
| Published office | 80 Coleman Street, London EC2R 5BJ | Current office contact address; not a statement of the registered office.Source 7 |
| Initial funding | GBP 300 / USD 300 / EUR 300 | Historical service: Published account-currency thresholds; not a single USD-equivalent amount.Source 1 |
| Commission assessment | Equity and recent volume | Historical service: The schedule refers to rolling 30-day volume and monthly review.Source 1 |
| Platform documentation | TickTrader, MT4 and MT5 | Historical service: The public comparison describes different tool sets.Source 3 |
FXOpen UK is no longer accepting new applications. Its current UK notice says all accounts are closed and directs former customers to withdraw remaining funds immediately through the Client Portal. The retained commission and platform tables below describe the former UK service; they are not an available new-account offer.[6]
Products & platforms
Sections ↑Historical: Selected differences in the platform comparison
| Function | MetaTrader route | TickTrader route |
|---|---|---|
| Automation | MT4 Expert Advisors / MT5 environment | Separate TickTrader integration and tools.Source 3 |
| Market depth | MT4 via additional OCTL2 tools; MT5 depth features | Built-in depth display.Source 3 |
| Order controls | Platform-specific order types | Controls for market/stop slippage and execution.Source 3Source 5 |
| Backtesting / trading signals | Established MetaTrader functionality | Listed as coming soon in the comparison.Source 3 |
TickTrader’s distinction is the control available around order submission and the display of liquidity. That differs from using an MT4 program written for the MetaTrader environment. Existing Expert Advisors, account credentials and order settings should not be assumed to transfer unchanged between those systems.[5][3]
Fees & holding costs
Sections ↑Historical: Published forex commissions by account tier
| Tier | Equity / monthly volume reference | Commission per side |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | From USD 300 / below USD 5m volume | 3.50 per 100,000 base-currency units.Source 1 |
| Classic | From USD 1,000 / USD 5m–25m | 2.50 per 100,000 base-currency units.Source 1 |
| Advanced | USD 25,000–250,000 / USD 25m–250m | 1.80 per 100,000 base-currency units.Source 1 |
| Elite | Above USD 250,000 / above USD 250m | 1.50 per 100,000 base-currency units.Source 1 |
The charging currency matters. The quoted rate is applied per 100,000 units of the currency being traded as the pair’s base. It should not be rewritten as USD 3.50 for every forex lot. The account currency can introduce a subsequent conversion, while a different equity or volume tier changes the rate itself.[4]
Historical: Basic-tier examples: one standard forex lot
| Trade | Opening commission | Two equal-size sides |
|---|---|---|
| EUR/USD: EUR 100,000 | EUR 3.50 | EUR 7.00 before spread and financing.Source 4 |
| GBP/USD: GBP 100,000 | GBP 3.50 | GBP 7.00 before spread and financing.Source 4 |
| USD/JPY: USD 100,000 | USD 3.50 | USD 7.00 before spread and financing.Source 4 |
Historical: Financing and non-FX commissions
| Item | Published rule | Qualification |
|---|---|---|
| Index CFDs | No index dealing commission in the schedule | Spread and financing remain separate.Source 4 |
| US share / ETF minimum | USD 1 per order | Percentage tariff varies by equity, platform and order type.Source 4 |
| Swap-free accounts | Additional overnight commission equal to the swap | A renamed charge, not a zero-cost overnight position.Source 4 |
| Current swaps | Instrument Specification in MT4/MT5 | Separate long and short values.Source 4 |
Deposits, withdrawals & transfers
Sections ↑Historical: UK published payment timetable
| Step | Published rule | Timing distinction |
|---|---|---|
| Initial funding | GBP 300 / USD 300 / EUR 300 | Published currency-specific account threshold.Source 1 |
| Withdrawal instruction before noon GMT | Normally processed that business day | Later requests generally move to the next business day.Source 2 |
| Bank withdrawal arrival | Usually 1–3 business days | Bank transit after processing.Source 2 |
| Card withdrawal arrival | Usually 2–5 business days | Card-provider processing follows the broker’s action.Source 2 |
| Account name | Funding in the client’s own name | Eligible joint arrangements are treated separately.Source 2 |
Bank charges and currency conversion are not the ECN dealing commission. FXOpen’s payment conditions allow relevant banking costs to be passed through, so a low per-trade rate does not establish the amount that will arrive after an international transfer. The withdrawal cut-off and the bank/card arrival estimate refer to separate stages.[2]
For a remaining UK balance, the company’s current instruction is to withdraw through the Client Portal. Its earlier payment timetable is retained as historical context, but a closure-related payment may require individual account assistance. The notice is specific to FXOpen UK and does not establish the operating status of another group company.[6]
Protection & regulation
Sections ↑Ceasing account services and regulatory authorisation are separate questions. This profile changes the UK service’s operating status to historical; it does not infer that FXOpen Ltd has been dissolved or that its FCA permissions have been withdrawn. The existing regulatory reference remains separately qualified in the entity record.[6]

Opening an account & support
Sections ↑The UK contact page lists +44 (0)20 3519 1224 and client support from 8am to 6pm London time. It currently gives 80 Coleman Street, London EC2R 5BJ as the office contact address. Retain the withdrawal request and account statement when seeking help with an outstanding balance.[7]
New UK account opening is unavailable. For a service dispute, FXOpen’s complaints policy provides a written final response or an explanation of delay within eight weeks, together with Financial Ombudsman Service information. Eligible complainants ordinarily have six months from a final response to refer the matter to the Ombudsman; the response letter and applicable eligibility rules govern the case.[6][8]
