Profile scope

This profile covers Primus Markets INTL Limited’s international retail offer. Cyprus group authorisation is recorded separately. Pricing and service claims are company-published and were checked on 10 October 2026; no account, execution or withdrawal test was conducted.

FXPrimus’s international range combines Classic, Pro and Zero accounts with a separate simulated-index account, copy trading and pooled PAMM accounts. This profile covers Primus Markets INTL Limited’s Vanuatu offer on fxprimus.com. The European company and its fxprimus.eu route are separate.[1][4]

Classic’s zero-commission headline is narrower than its detailed catalogue: its energy, share and crypto tables contain nonzero commission entries. Those entries do not clearly label the currency and charging side, so the exact instrument specification is needed before budgeting those charges.[5]
