Exness is built around low costs, very high leverage and automated withdrawals, with no fees for inactive accounts. Fusion Markets has no minimum deposit, a Zero account from 0.0 pips at $2.25 per side, and MT4, MT5, cTrader and TradingView. The better fit depends on where you live, how often you trade and which company would hold your account.

Figures come from each broker’s official site, checked on 11 October 2026. Spreads move through the day, and conditions vary by country and by the company that holds your account.

Regulation and Safety

Exness’s companies hold licences from 11 regulators, but its FCA and CySEC companies don’t serve retail clients. Individual traders are served by offshore companies such as Exness (SC) Ltd in Seychelles. Exness does not serve residents of the USA, Canada, the EU or the UK.

Fusion Markets was founded in Melbourne in 2019. Its Australian company holds an ASIC licence (385620); international clients join Fusion Markets International, licensed by the FSA in Seychelles (SD096), or its Vanuatu company. Client money is held in segregated trust accounts with National Australia Bank, and retail clients get negative balance protection.

On paper Fusion Markets has the stronger regulatory footprint, but that only helps if your account sits with one of its strictly regulated companies. Check which company your country places you with before you deposit.

Trading Costs

On commission-free accounts, Exness lists: Standard from 0.2 pips (EUR/USD average 0.8). Fusion Markets lists: Classic from 0.9 pips. “From” figures are minimums, so expect wider live spreads, especially around news.

Both offer a raw-spread account. Exness: Raw Spread from 0.0 pips plus up to $3.50 per side. Fusion Markets: Zero from 0.0 pips plus $2.25 per side. For frequent traders, a raw account usually costs less per trade than a spread-only one.

Exness lists no inactivity fee. Fusion Markets’s inactivity fee: Up to $10 a year after 12 months without transactions. Withdrawal fees: Exness: none from Exness; Fusion Markets: none from Fusion Markets.

Platforms and Copy Trading

Exness offers MT4, MT5, Exness Terminal and Exness Trade app. Fusion Markets offers MT4, MT5, cTrader and TradingView.

Exness has no copy trading service of its own (closed on 25 June 2026). Fusion Markets’s copy trading: Fusion+ and DupliTrade. Copying another trader doesn’t remove risk: you can lose money as fast as trading yourself.

Leverage

Exness’s maximum leverage: unlimited for eligible accounts, otherwise up to 1:2000. Fusion Markets’s: Up to 1:500 on request for international clients; 1:30 on major pairs for ASIC retail clients.

A higher maximum is not an advantage in itself. Leverage multiplies losses as fast as gains, so beginners should use far less than either broker allows.

Which One Should You Choose?

Go with Exness if:

  • You want raw-spread accounts and no inactivity fee
  • Fast, automated withdrawals matter to you
  • You are comfortable with offshore regulation

Go with Fusion Markets if:

  • You want to start with no minimum deposit
  • You want low raw-account commissions at $2.25 per side
  • You want cTrader or TradingView

Whichever you choose, test a small withdrawal early, verify your account before you need your money, and risk only what you can afford to lose.
