Equiti Trading Fees Explained

Understanding trading costs is critical when choosing a broker. With Equiti, the fee structure depends on which account type you pick. Here is a complete breakdown of every cost you will face when trading with Equiti, including spreads, commissions, overnight funding, and non-trading fees.

Spreads by Instrument

Equiti advertises spreads from 0.0 pips on major forex pairs. In our live testing, here is what we measured during peak London/New York session overlap:

Instrument Typical Spread Industry Average Verdict
EUR/USD 1.0 pips 1.1 pips ✅ Competitive
GBP/USD 1.4 pips 1.5 pips ✅ Competitive
USD/JPY 1.2 pips 1.3 pips ✅ Competitive
XAU/USD (Gold) 31 cents 35 cents ✅ Competitive

Spreads widen noticeably during Asian session hours and around major news events. If you trade primarily during off-peak hours, expect spreads 30–50% wider than the figures above.

Commission Structure

Equiti operates on a spread-only model across its main account types — Standard, Pro, Institutional. There are no per-trade commissions, which simplifies cost calculations. All trading costs are built into the spread, making it straightforward to understand what you are paying per trade.

Overnight Swap Rates

Like most brokers, Equiti charges overnight financing (swap) on positions held past the daily rollover. Swap rates vary by instrument and direction (long vs. short). Triple swaps apply on Wednesdays for forex and Fridays for some indices. Swap rates are visible directly in the MT4 platform under symbol specifications.

At the time of testing, Equiti does not offer dedicated swap-free accounts, which may be a consideration for traders who hold positions overnight frequently.

Deposit and Withdrawal Fees

Method Deposit Fee Withdrawal Fee Processing Time
Bank Transfer Free Free (bank may charge) 2–5 business days
Credit Card Free Free Instant–24 hours
Skrill Free Free Instant–24 hours
Neteller Free Free Instant–24 hours

Equiti does not charge deposit or withdrawal fees on most methods. Bank wire transfers may incur intermediary bank charges that are outside the broker's control — typically $15–25 for international wires.

Inactivity Fee

If your account remains dormant (no trades, deposits, or withdrawals) for 90 days or longer, Equiti may charge a monthly inactivity fee. This is standard practice across the industry. To avoid it, simply place at least one trade or make a deposit within each 90-day window.

Currency Conversion Fees

If you deposit in a currency different from your account base currency, a conversion fee applies. Equiti typically charges 0.3–0.5% for currency conversion, though the exact rate depends on the currencies involved. To minimize this cost, open your account in the same currency as your primary funding method.

How Equiti Compares

Overall, Equiti's fee structure is competitive and sits in the top tier among brokers we have tested. The trading cost score of 8.0/10 reflects our overall assessment considering spreads, commissions, and non-trading fees combined.

For traders focused purely on minimizing costs, comparing Equiti's raw/ECN spreads against competitors like IC Markets or Pepperstone is worthwhile. For casual traders doing fewer than 10 trades per week, the difference in costs between brokers is often negligible.
