ACY Securities Review 2026

How safe is ACY Securities?

Trust is a metric that I value highly when choosing a new forex broker. With this in mind, I assess ACY Securities’ trustworthiness based on its regulatory framework, reputation, and client reviews.

1. Regulation

ACY Securities is regulated by one tier-1 regulator and one tier-3 regulator.

ACY Securities operates under a multi-entity structure, but regulatory protection varies significantly by region:

• Australian clients are onboarded through ACY Securities Pty Ltd. It is regulated by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), a Tier-1 regulator. This ensures strong investor protections, including negative balance protection.
• South African clients are onboarded under ACY Securities SA Pty Ltd (Reg. No. 2009/008731/07, FSCA FSP No. 51008), which is licensed by the Financial Sector Conduct Authority.
• All other international clients, including those in the Middle East and Asia, are onboarded through ACY Capital Australia LLC. This is an entity registered in St Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG).

This entity is not regulated by a recognised financial authority and only complies with local business laws, offering limited safeguards. Residents of the European Union, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Japan, and Malaysia are excluded from the acyasia.com website, and no licence or authorisation covers any ACY company in those six places. Anyone dealing with the firm from there does so on a reverse solicitation basis only. According to the forex page of the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA), a firm offering forex in Canada must be registered in the province where it intends to work, and must also be one of the dealer members of the Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization (CIRO).

For Jordanian clients, Al Bilad Securities and Investment Company (Registration No. 397) acts as an introducing broker for ACY Capital Australia LLC. ACY itself does not hold a licence from the Jordan Securities Commission. Jordanian clients trade under ACY Capital Australia LLC (SVG entity) conditions.

2. Reputation

ACY Securities have received numerous accolades from the global Forex community, institutions, and media organisations.

Notable awards include “Best Overall Broker” at the Fazzaco Expo Dubai 2022, recognising their expansion in the Middle East, and “Best Transparent Trading Broker” at the Smart Vision Investment Expo Egypt 2022.

If you’re based in the UAE or other offshore jurisdictions, be aware that you’ll likely be trading under the SVG entity, which does not offer the same level of investor protections as ASIC or FSCA-regulated brokers.

ACY Securities drew 2,480 worldwide branded Google searches in September 2026, ranking it fifty-second among the 61 brokers we track. Similarweb data from February 2026 shows the same positioning, with ACY Securities ranking as the 67th most visited broker with 3,264 global visits.

3. Reviews

ACY Securities has a rather good score of 4.4 on TrustPilot, which is always a green flag; however, they have only 704 reviews as of the writing of this review.

When I checked the feedback, it was mostly positive with praise for the platform’s user-friendliness, competitive spreads, and rich educational resources.

However, some reviews highlight significant concerns. There are reports of “cumbersome” and delayed withdrawal processes.

Our score for ACY Securities is set against every other broker on Forex Broker Reviews.

My Verdict on ACY Securities Trust

ACY Securities benefits from strong regulation by ASIC, which provides a high level of client fund segregation and professional indemnity insurance. However, they lack broader regulatory oversight, especially of tier 2 entities.

For clients outside Australia and South Africa, trading under the unregulated SVG entity means investor protections are limited to ACY’s own policies rather than a formal regulatory framework. For these reasons, I give the broker a score of 6.0/10 for the category of trust.

How this is measured

Google Ads reports how many times a month people searched each broker's brand terms, and the brokers are ranked on that figure alone.

A term counts for a broker only when that broker's own website holds the first organic Google result for it; bare brand words that any company could own are left out.

A month-on-month change prints only where the previous month reached 1,000 searches, because Google rounds smaller volumes.

The figures refresh on the 15th of each month with the newest month Google has published, and the first-result check repeats every quarter.

ACY Securities at a glance

ACY Securities spreads and fees

ACY Securities’ trading costs depend on the account you choose, with published spreads from 2.0 pips on the Basic account down to 0.0 pips plus commission on the ProZero account. The spread and fee figures in this review are ACY Securities’ own published figures, from a desk-based assessment of its website and account documents, as set out in our methodology.

ACY Securities offers three different account types:

• Basic account: Commission-free but has the widest spreads (from 2.0 pips per lot). Minimum deposit of $50 and no Swap Free account.
• Standard account: Offers tighter spreads than the Basic account (from 1.0 pips). Minimum deposit of $100 and the option of a Swap Free account.
• ProZero account: Has the tightest spreads (from 0.0 pips) and a commission structure that varies by entity. Australian clients pay $1.50 per lot per side ($3.00 round-turn). International clients under the SVG entity pay $3.00 per lot per side ($6.00 round-turn). Commission applies to Forex and Metals trades only. No commission is charged on Indices or Crypto trades. Minimum deposit is $200 and no Swap Free option.

Something to mention is that Australian traders can only use the Pro Zero account. I am not sure why that is. The Basic and Standard accounts are not available for Australian traders. So if you are in Australia and want spread-only trading, it is best to look at other ASIC-regulated brokers like Eightcap and IC Markets.

I have compiled a table below to provide a clear overview of their core trading costs:

Raw Account Spreads

The ProZero account is specifically tailored for active and high-volume traders, offering highly competitive raw spreads that start from 0.0 pips.

Looking at specific average spreads, I observe that major currency pairs generally exhibit excellent conditions.

For instance, EURUSD maintains “Good spreads” (1.1 to 2 points) across all major sessions (Asian, European, US), with “Excellent conditions” (0-1 points) possible during peak liquidity hours. AUDUSD reaches “Excellent spread levels” (0-2 points) during the US session, with “Good spreads” (2-3 points) in Asian and European sessions.

For commodities, Gold (XAUUSD) boasts “Excellent spreads” (0 to 10 points) during European and US sessions, becoming “most favourable outside Asian hours.”

Raw Account Commission Rate

For traders opting for the ProZero account, which provides access to raw spreads from 0.0 pips, the commission structure depends on which entity you are trading under. Australian clients pay $1.50 per lot per side ($3.00 round-turn), while international clients under the SVG entity pay $3.00 per lot per side ($6.00 round-turn). These commissions apply to Forex and Metals trades only. Indices and Crypto trades carry zero commission across all account types, including ProZero.

I think that their overall commissions are generally “below the industry average”, making their raw account offerings highly attractive for cost-conscious traders.

Basic/Standard Account Fees

ACY Securities offers two commission-free trading accounts, Basic and Standard. Both operate on a variable spread model there are some differences in terms of spreads, minimum deposit, and trading features.

The Basic account is designed for beginner traders or those seeking a low-cost entry point. It requires a minimum deposit of just $50, but it does not offer swap-free trading. Spreads on major currency pairs are wider compared to the Standard account. For example, the EUR/USD spread starts from 2.0 pips, AUD/USD from 2.20 pips, and USD/JPY from 2.30 pips.

In contrast, the Standard account requires a slightly higher minimum deposit of $100, but offers tighter spreads and includes swap-free (Islamic) trading. Spreads are more competitive, starting from 1.0 pips on EUR/USD, 1.30 pips on AUD/USD, and 1.20 pips on USD/JPY. These spreads make it a more attractive option for traders seeking lower trading costs and more flexible account conditions.

Both accounts are commission-free, with the trading cost embedded in the spread, simplifying fee calculations and making them suitable for traders who prefer transparent, all-inclusive pricing.

Swap Free Account Fees

If you are of Islamic faith and observe Sharia law, ACY Securities offers the option of a Swap-Free Islamic Account. Swap-free trading sits with the Standard account at ACY Capital LLC. Malaysian readers should note, though, that their country is among those the acyasia.com site excludes, so any dealing with ACY Securities from Malaysia happens on a reverse solicitation basis only.

The Swap Free account is based on the Standard account’s trading conditions and is available on both MT4 and MT5 platforms, providing access to over 2,200 trading instruments across FX, Indices, Commodities, and Cryptocurrencies.

Instead of traditional swaps, an administration fee is applied to positions held for longer than 4 days. The main thing to note is that positions held for less than 4 days have no administration fees charged.

The administration fees vary significantly by instrument type, which is an important detail for traders to consider:

• Forex Majors: $US12.5 per day per lot
• Forex Minors: $US15.5 per day per lot
• Commodities Majors: $US12.5 per day per lot
• Metals Majors: $US27.5 per day per lot
• Cryptocurrencies Exotics: $US45.5 per day per lot

Lastly, you should note that it is explicitly stated that “Shares” are not available with a Swap Free option.

Other Fees

As a trader, when considering the overall cost of trading with ACY Securities, it’s important to look beyond just spreads and commissions to other potential fees.

ACY Securities is rather transparent about their fee structure, and they claim no inactivity fee and deposit fees.

Beyond the dedicated Islamic account, ACY Securities’ general overnight fees are relatively high.

My Verdict on ACY Securities Spreads

Based on ACY Securities’ own published figures, my view is that the broker generally offers competitive trading costs, particularly through its ProZero account with raw spreads from 0.0 pips and competitive commissions.

The Standard account’s zero-commission structure also provides a clear advantage for many traders. However, the higher overnight fees and the varying administration fees for the Islamic account introduce additional considerations, for which I give them a score of 3 out of 10 for this category.

Deposits and withdrawals with ACY Securities

In my view, ACY Securities offers a good set of funding options.

What is the Minimum Deposit at ACY Securities?

The minimum deposit at ACY Securities is $50 for the Basic account. The Standard account requires $100, and the ProZero account requires $200.

Account Base Currencies

ACY Securities supports a wide array of account base currencies to cater to its global clientele. Traders can choose from major currencies including USD, AUD, EUR, GBP, NZD, CAD, and JPY.

Additionally, for region-specific payment methods, they support currencies like CNY, IDR, VND, MYR, PHP, ZAR, NGN, KES, and GHS.

Deposit Options and Fees

A significant advantage for traders is that ACY Securities explicitly states, “No deposit fees are charged by ACY Securities” across all listed methods. The broker also has an excellent range of deposit methods, which gives traders around the world plenty of choice.

These include traditional options like bank transfers (wire transfers) and credit/debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, UnionPay).

In addition, they support a variety of leading e-payment solutions such as PayID, Neteller, Skrill, PayTrust, Alipay, Bitcoin, and DragonPay.

Cryptocurrency funding is available for international clients under the SVG entity only and is not available for Australian entity clients. Bitcoin deposits are accepted, but Bitcoin withdrawals are not supported. USDT (TRC-20 and ERC-20) and USDC (BEP-20) support both deposits and instant withdrawals.

Withdrawal Options and Fees

ACY Securities provides multiple withdrawal methods to ensure a smooth and timely process for traders. These options generally mirror the deposit methods, including bank transfers, credit/debit cards, and various e-wallets.

While many withdrawal methods are free, it is important to be aware that “some withdrawal methods incur a cost”. Withdrawals are free at ACY Capital LLC until you make more than five in one calendar month, and from the sixth onward each one carries a charge of 25 in your account’s base currency, whatever method you choose.

Ease of Opening an Account

Opening an account with ACY Securities was straightforward and fast, and all the needed steps were clearly explained.

The account opening journey involves the usual key steps as with any broker:

1. Create & Verify:
2. Upload Documents:
3. Fund Account

During the setup, I also had to select my preferred platform (MT4 or MT5), base currency, account type, and desired leverage.

ACY Securities also offers a free demo account with US$100,000 in virtual funds.

My Verdict on ACY Securities Funding

In my opinion, the diversity of funding options at ACY Securities stands out. The great variety of base currencies is also a major bonus, as you will incur fewer fees in swapping if you deposit in your native currency. For these reasons, I give the broker a high score of 9/10 for the category of funding.

ACY Securities trading platforms and app

ACY Securities offers you three trading platforms, including MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5 and their proprietary ACY Trading Platform.

MetaTrader 4

In my view, MT4 suits anyone looking for something simple and reliable, and much of that comes down to its straightforward design.

The Expert Advisors (EAs) environment is unique. You can code your own strategies in MQL4, and the MetaTrader Marketplace holds thousands of free EAs if you would rather not start from scratch.

Key Differences vs. MT5:

• Asset Focus: MT4 contains forex and CFDs only, no equities trading.
• Technical Tools: 30 in-built indicators versus MT5’s 80+.
• Timeframes: MT5 has 21 timeframes, while MT4 has 9. MT4 is adequate for most scalpers and swing traders.
• No Economic Calendar: MT4 lacks embedded macroeconomic data compared to MT5.

Best For:

New Traders: Easy-to-use design reduces learning curves. Forex Scalpers: Extremely fast order execution (under 30ms). EA Developers: A huge collection of pre-written algorithms.

MetaTrader 5

MT5 is my personal favourite for traders expanding outside of forex. The multi-asset feature of the platform allows me to easily toggle between forex, shares, and commodities. The economic calendar and Depth of Market (DOM) feature embedded in it were a revelation in fundamental analysis.

One of the primary distinctions is that you like to trade on both decentralised and centralised exchanges, which isn’t possible on MT4, sadly.

Major Improvements over MT4:

• Asset Classes: Stocks, bonds, futures, and crypto CFDs.
• Technical Features: 80+ indicators, 21 timeframes, and advanced charting tools like Renko bars.
• MQL5 Language: Faster back-testing and more complex EAs.

Best For:

• Multi-Asset Traders: Suitable for diversifying forex, stocks, and commodities in a portfolio.
• Algorithmic Traders: More coding flexibility with MQL5. Data-Driven Traders: Integrated economic insight that reduces dependence on third-party tools.

ACY Trading Platform

In addition to the MetaTrader suite, ACY Securities offers its proprietary ACY Trading Platform. This is a web-based platform built to give you, as a trader, the option to use it across all devices.

All three accounts at ACY Capital LLC, Basic, Standard, and ProZero, run at up to 1:5000 through the ACY Trading Platform, though forex on MT4 and MT5 there tops out at 1:500, and ACY Securities Pty Ltd limits retail clients to 1:30 on major currency pairs.

What I liked about their proprietary platform:

• It features a built-in economic calendar
• Multi-symbol charts (great for more advanced traders).
• Dynamic margin with guaranteed stop-loss orders.

Overall, I was surprised by their proprietary app, as this is where many competitors don’t measure up.

ACY Securities's app ACY Securities APP is rated 4.5 out of 5 from 8 ratings on the Australia App Store, checked Nov 1, 2026.

My Verdict on ACY Securities Trading Platforms

ACY Securities provides a solid offering of trading platforms, giving traders access to MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, and the proprietary ACY Trading Platform. The ACY Trading Platform is web-based only with no native desktop download, but it supports iOS and Android apps and includes built-in guaranteed stop-loss orders and an economic calendar. The inclusion of EA-friendly features, free MetaTrader scripts, and VPS hosting adds further value for active traders.

However, the absence of other popular third-party platforms like cTrader or TradingView means they only get a score of 7/10 for this category.

Leverage and margin at ACY Securities

For clients onboarded with the offshore entity, ACY Securities offers leverage of up to 1:5000, particularly via their proprietary ACY Trading Platform. Although I highly advise that you stay away from using 1:5000 leverage, it lets you deposit much smaller amounts to get the desired liquidity.

For retail clients under ASIC regulation (e.g., in Australia), leverage limits are typically much lower, up to 1:30 for currency pairs. Professional clients under ASIC may qualify for higher leverage, up to 1:500, subject to eligibility criteria.

For Futures CFDs, ACY Securities offers leverage of 10:1 on soft commodities like Cocoa, Sugar, and Orange Juice.

Markets you can trade with ACY Securities

ACY Securities offers an impressive and diverse product range, allowing you as a trader to explore over 2,200 global markets with ultra-low spreads starting from 0.0 pips. As I personally trade mostly forex, I was happy they also had a good selection of pairs.

CFDs

The core of ACY Securities’ offering lies in Contracts for Difference (CFDs), which allow traders to speculate on price movements without owning the underlying asset. Their CFD offering is broader than many similar brokers.

FX Trading

ACY Securities provides access to a wide range of Forex CFDs, including 62 major, minor, and exotic currency pairs.

You can benefit from competitive spreads, with some major pairs like EUR/USD offering spreads from 0.0 pips on the ProZero account.

Indices

Traders can speculate on 22 global indices, including 10 major and 12 minor benchmarks. This includes favourites like the German 30 Index (GER30) and Dow Jones 30 Index (DJ30), offering exposure to entire stock markets via a single CFD.

Commodities

There are 17 commodity CFDs available with ACY Securities. These include CFDs on precious metals like Gold (XAUUSD) and Silver, as well as energies such as US Crude Oil (USWTI). During my research, I noted that gold was particularly popular with this broker, as they had very competitive spreads there.

Cryptocurrencies

Both ACY Capital LLC and ACY Securities Pty Ltd offer 20 crypto CFDs on the top 20 digital currencies against USD, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), and Litecoin (LTC). These are CFD products, meaning you don’t own any digital assets, as you just speculate on the price action.

ETFs

ACY offers 181 ETF CFDs, one of the most extensive ranges I’ve seen from a retail broker. These span across:

• 22 NAS ETFs
• 14 NYS
• 29 ASX
• 116 NYSEARCA

Share Trading

As a trader, you can access CFDs on shares from major global exchanges, including the NYSE, NASDAQ, and ASX. ACY Securities offers over 2,200 share CFDs on MT5, and the counts by exchange include:

• 290+ ASX (Australia)
• 450+ NASDAQ
• 820+ NYSE
• 147 LSE
• 125 HKEK
• 50 TSE (Tokyo)

All share CFDs are available on MetaTrader 5, giving access to companies across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia.

ACY Securities customer service, research and education

ACY Securities offers 24/5 multilingual customer support through live chat, email, and phone, in over 10 languages, including English, Chinese, Vietnamese, Arabic, Thai, Japanese, Portuguese, and Malay.

My Verdict on ACY Securities Customer Service

The overall service is commendable for its accessibility and breadth, with 24/5 support through live chat, email, and phone in over 10 languages. For this category, I give the broker a score of 8.0 out of 10 for the speed and live support 24/5.

Research and education

As a broker, ACY Securities places a strong emphasis on empowering you through comprehensive research and educational resources. Their research and education segment was one of the most impressive ones amongst the brokers I reviewed.

Their research tools include an intuitive economic calendar and a regularly updated news screener that utilises technical, fundamental, and economic analyses. They also provide market summaries, chart analysis, and live market summaries.

Here is what they had on offer:

• Webinars & Seminars: Regular online trading courses and market analysis webinars are conducted, providing live instruction and insights.
• E-books: A series of informative Forex trading e-books, such as ‘The Way of Forex,’ are produced by their team of traders and market experts, covering various aspects of successful trading.
• Trading Course & Tutorials: Access to over 60 Forex trading tutorials and videos that cover extensive and in-depth trading topics and views is available, particularly for live trading account holders.
• Market Analysis: ACY Securities provides robust market analysis, including daily market commentary, economic outlooks, and trade ideas from their experienced team of analysts.
• Trading Tools: Beyond educational content, they offer practical tools including an economic calendar, a trading widget, 12 free MetaTrader scripts for optimisation, and Forex VPS hosting. Forex VPS hosting is provided by ForexVPS, and ACY Capital LLC will credit as much as US$35 of the monthly fee if your trading volume for the month exceeds 20 lots, while ACY Securities Pty Ltd extends free VPS access to ProZero traders who qualify.
• Tradingcup Platform: The Tradingcup platform (tradingcup.com) has evolved to include live copy trading, allowing international clients to replicate the strategies of signal providers across MT4 and MT5. It is important to note that the Tradingcup copy trading service is not available to Australian retail clients. This restriction is confirmed by an explicit disclaimer on the ACY copy trading page.

Overall, it’s clear that they have a very professional and high-quality in-house research team. The articles and analyses I read were all top-notch, and not just posted content for the sake of getting exposure and backlinks.

My Verdict on ACY Securities Education

It’s no surprise that I give ACY Securities a score of 9/10 for education. This is because they offer an exceptionally strong suite of educational and research resources, which makes the broker a standout choice for traders of all levels. The combination of live webinars, extensive e-books, video tutorials, and daily market analysis provides a robust learning environment.

Our final verdict on ACY Securities

My comprehensive review of ACY Securities reveals a broker with significant strengths, such as high leverage options, decent trading tools and useful funding options, education and support.

However, the broker falls short in one very crucial category, namely, trading costs. While ASIC regulation provides a strong foundation of trust and client fund segregation, the use of the unregulated SVG entity for international clients introduces a disparity in investor protection.

The higher overnight fees and varying administration fees for the Islamic account for UAE-based traders also warrant careful consideration for certain trading styles. In these categories, I give ACY Securities a combined score of 63/100.
