Exness: Our Take
High leverage, instant withdrawals, and massive trading volume make Exness a top choice for aggressive traders and those in emerging markets.
PU Prime: Our Take
PU Prime is the licence collector. Five separately regulated entities: ASIC in Australia, FSCA in South Africa, FSC Mauritius, FSA Seychelles, and a CMA licence in the UAE. Founded 2015 as Pacific Union, serving 700K+ active traders across 100+ countries with 960+ instruments, a $20 Cent account entry, and leverage up to 1:1000 on the offshore entities. The catch worth understanding: which entity holds YOUR account decides which protections you actually get. Few brokers pair a genuine tier-1 licence in the family with offshore leverage this high. That combination is the whole pitch, and unlike most brokers making it, PU Prime's licence numbers all check out.
