Accounts and eligibility
Sections ↑LEKFI offers three retail account labels: Bronze, Silver and Gold. They chiefly distinguish spread descriptions and support or education benefits. The public comparison does not quantify the deposit needed for each tier, a numerical spread floor, commission per lot or maximum leverage. Its qualitative pricing labels are insufficient for a like-for-like transaction-cost calculation.[2]
What the account page actually specifies
| Account | Spread description | Additional published features |
|---|---|---|
| Bronze | Standard | Desktop/mobile access, analysis and trading reports, basic training.Source 2 |
| Silver | Lower | The common access and reporting features, basic training and a dedicated account manager.Source 2 |
| Gold | Interbank | Basic/advanced training, a dedicated manager and free webinars/education.Source 2 |
The FAQ says trading can begin with USD 100, without assigning that amount to a particular tier. Opening involves registration, identity verification and account approval before funding and dealing. It also advertises a demo account, allowing practice with virtual funds; demo results do not establish the prices or execution of a funded account.[3]
This profile covers the Seychelles service operated by Emerald Ltd. The current website excludes residents of the United States, Iran, North Korea, Myanmar and Russia, as well as any jurisdiction where the service would breach local rules. A website accessible from a country does not establish that a resident will be accepted.[1]
Markets and available interfaces
Sections ↑The FAQ names forex, commodity, index, stock and cryptocurrency CFDs. The account-page introduction additionally mentions ETFs and bonds, but its cards do not identify an executable symbol list for those two categories.[3][2]
The crypto page explicitly describes price exposure without owning the digital asset, naming Bitcoin and Ethereum. It does not establish an external-wallet withdrawal service or an on-chain balance. TradingView charts appear on the site, but an embedded market widget is not evidence of a TradingView account connection that can route client orders.[8]
Browser and mobile access
| Measure | Value | Context |
|---|---|---|
| WebTrader | The dedicated platform page describes installation-free browser access, live quotes, indicators and opening, modifying or closing trades from a chart. | Source 4 |
| Match Trader | The mobile-labelled page names Match Trader but describes a browser application and links the same client zone and trade portal. It does not establish a separate native iOS/Android installation or identical functionality on every device. | Source 5 |
A separate company page mentions MetaTrader 4/5. That conflicts with the dedicated platform pages and FAQ, which lead to WebTrader/Match Trader. A currently available MetaTrader server, download and matching account entitlement were not established; the reference profile therefore does not treat MT4 or MT5 access as confirmed.[6][4]
Trading charges and inactivity
Sections ↑Costs and charges
| Item | Published terms and scope |
|---|---|
| Contract charges | The agreement lists spreads, commissions on share/futures CFDs, conversion of non-base-currency realised results and charges, and positive or negative overnight swaps. It specifies no current numerical commission tariff or conversion markup. Inactivity costs up to USD 10 annually after 12 months without transactions.Source 13 |
| Tier pricing | A “lower” or “interbank” spread label does not identify a currency pair, market session, order size or typical spread. The account page also omits numerical swap rates and a priced swap-free alternative, so no all-in cost or religious-account exemption can be established from its three cards.Source 2 |
| Funding fees | The stock page advertises free deposits and withdrawals. That is a company marketing statement without a method-by-method tariff; it should be read together with the contract’s bank-charge and documentation provisions. No general public funding charge table was found in the linked legal index.Source 7Source 12 |
Orders, margin and interruptions
Sections ↑Order handling and margin
| Item | Published terms and scope |
|---|---|
| Supported orders | WebTrader advertises market, limit, stop and trailing-stop orders, with chart-based modification and closure. These published controls do not specify every symbol’s minimum volume, size increment, maximum position, stop distance or order-validity choice. Nor do they establish where a trailing-stop process runs after the browser is closed.Source 4 |
| Interrupted instructions | The risk notice permits one instruction in the queue at a time. Closing an entry window does not cancel an instruction already sent. Repeating an unconfirmed request can create two trades. It also warns that communication or system failures can prevent execution and that busy markets can overload telephone access. No dedicated outage-dealing procedure, desk hours or authentication sequence was established.Source 14 |
| Liquidation | The contract permits liquidation below 100% margin and automatic closure at 30% or less, starting with the worst loss. Its product-leverage link is unfinished, so no universal leverage maximum is established.Source 13 |
Withdrawals, bonuses and account closure
Sections ↑Cash, credit and closure
| Item | Published terms and scope |
|---|---|
| Withdrawals | Withdrawals normally return to the original method and remitter. Further documents or a replacement method may be required; compliance problems can reverse a request to the trading balance. Bank charges may apply. No firm delivery timetable or withdrawal minimum is specified.Source 13 |
| Bonus expiry | The September 2024 bonus policy describes discretionary credit, accepted separately from ordinary deposited funds. It distinguishes withdrawable equity from bonus balance and displays a remaining-days counter. Credit is usable after the customer’s deposit and expires after 30 calendar days. Withdrawal requires the relevant promotion’s trading conditions, but the standing policy supplies no universal turnover multiplier, current percentage or maximum award.Source 15 |
| Credit cancellation | Customers can refuse or cancel credit through support. Later deposits do not count toward conditions of an existing bonus. The policy allows removal for suspected abuse and, in that context, cancellation of profit withdrawals, orders or profits and account suspension. A credited figure is consequently not equivalent to unconditional cash available for transfer.Source 15 |
| Account closure | Ordinary closure requires seven business days’ written notice and settlement of positions/liabilities. Platform access can end; residual funds may be retained against outstanding obligations. Fourteen-day cancellation applies only before any transaction.Source 13 |
Regulatory identity and client money
Sections ↑The FSA directory lists Emerald Ltd, LEKFI and lekfi.com, with Office A17.G, Providence Complex, and telephone +248 4262954.[19]
LEKFI discloses Emerald Ltd, company 8436162-1, under Seychelles securities-dealer licence SD193. The FSA identity match and the company’s licence disclosure concern that entity; they do not establish a separate FCA, CySEC or other home-country permission for every overseas customer.[1]
The company page says client funds are segregated. Its risk notice nonetheless allows money to pass to third parties, including outside Seychelles, and describes pooled accounts, insolvency exposure and potentially unsecured recovery claims. Segregation alone does not establish that every balance is insured or recoverable in full.[6][14]
The risk notice explicitly warns that losses can exceed invested capital. No contractual promise of automatic negative-balance forgiveness or current private insurance certificate was established in the inspected legal set; stop-out is not proof of either protection.[14][12]
Service, security and records
Sections ↑Published contact routes
Scope Company contact in the FSA entry; formal complaints use [email protected].
Client records and complaints
| Item | Published terms and scope |
|---|---|
| Security claims | The stock page advertises multi-factor authentication and encryption. The privacy policy separately describes authentication and protection of transmitted data, but neither inspected page specifies the recovery sequence, available second-factor methods or a fixed withdrawal hold after a reset. These are stated controls, not independently tested security performance.Source 7Source 17 |
| Activity records | The contract provides daily, monthly and yearly activity reports plus executed-trade records; account information updates within 24 hours. Export formats and post-closure portal access are not specified.Source 13 |
| Personal-data access | Privacy requests can seek access to personal information or correction of errors. Deletion remains subject to legal, regulatory and business-record obligations; the policy also reserves a nominal processing charge for an access request. This is a distinct process from downloading a trading statement or obtaining a country-specific tax certificate.Source 17 |
| Complaint timetable | The complaint policy is dated March 2026 despite its September upload path. It states acknowledgement within seven business days, an intended final response within 30 business days and a latest response within 60 business days from submission. If dissatisfied, a customer can refer the matter with the final response to the Seychelles FSA. Postal complaints use CT House, Office 9A, Providence, Mahé. These are published handling targets, not an observed resolution time.Source 16 |
Research, education and account authority
Sections ↑The company advertises educational materials, webinars and analysis. Its references to dedicated account managers describe support benefits rather than a documented right for the manager to make discretionary trades. No broker-specific copy-trading subscription, public API entitlement, managed-account mandate or autonomous AI trading service was established from the inspected platform and company pages.[6][5]
The conflicts policy recognises incentives arising from a firm’s own financial interests, other customers and third-party benefits. It describes compliance oversight and disclosure or avoidance where conflicts cannot be controlled. Those procedures do not turn general research or a sales conversation into independent advice.[18]
Company details and document continuity
Sections ↑The contact page distinguishes registered CT House, Office 9A, from physical Office A17.G, Providence Complex. The FSA entry uses the Providence Complex address; the March complaint form directs post to CT House. These are different published correspondence locations.[11][16][19]
