Restro FX: Our Take
Restro FX launched in 2024 and came out swinging. A $25 entry, RAW spreads from 0.1 pips, up to 1:1000 leverage, and a proprietary Lock It Trade platform with a built-in AI trading journal you will not find at the incumbents. The trading conditions punch well above the price of admission. The catch is the one every new offshore broker carries: St. Lucia registration is not tier-1 regulation, and months of history is not a track record. For traders who want fresh platform technology and low-cost access, and who size positions like the safety net is thin, Restro FX is one of the most interesting new arrivals of 2026.
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.
