Exness Fees: Spreads, Commissions, Swaps and the Admin Fee

Exness keeps its fee list short. Its Help Center says it charges no deposit or withdrawal processing fees, opening an account is free, and there are no fees for inactive accounts. Commission applies only to the Raw Spread and Zero accounts; Standard, Standard Cent and Pro are commission-free. What you do pay is the spread on every trade, swaps on positions held overnight, and, for some traders, an administration fee on overnight positions that Exness reserves the right to apply.

That last charge is the one most reviews miss, and it can be large. The sections below set out each cost as Exness describes it, with the numbers that decide which account is cheapest for the way you trade.

Exness fees at a glance

Spreads: the cost on every trade

Every Exness account pays a spread. Exness lists spreads from 0.2 pips on Standard, 0.3 on Standard Cent and 0.1 on Pro, while Raw Spread and Zero start from 0.0 pips and add a commission instead. According to Exness, its spreads are dynamic and real-time, and it doesn't widen them artificially. They do widen in thin markets, at the daily break and around big news. Our Exness spreads guide covers the published averages.

Commission on Raw Spread and Zero

Exness's Help Center says commission is charged only on Zero and Raw Spread accounts, varies by instrument, and is set out in the contract specifications in your Personal Area. It is based on the volume in both directions, opening and closing, and the full amount is charged when the order opens.

Commission also varies by market. On Bitcoin, for example, Exness lists $2 per lot per side on Raw Spread and $4.375 on Zero; on stocks, Zero commission starts from $0.15 per lot per side. Our Exness Zero account guide explains how the zero-spread promise works.

Swaps: when and how much

Swap is the overnight interest added to or deducted from positions open at the daily rollover: 21:00 GMT in summer and 22:00 GMT in winter, Monday to Friday. Exness doesn't apply swaps on Saturday or Sunday. One day each week carries a triple swap to cover the weekend, and the day depends on the market.

Exness offers swap-free status to many clients, automatically in Islamic countries and on a published list of instruments elsewhere. Our Exness swap-free guide explains who qualifies.

The admin fee on overnight positions

Exness states that its trading conditions suit people who mainly trade within the day, with few overnight positions. If your activity falls outside that, it reserves the right to apply an administration fee on positions held overnight, Monday to Friday, immediately and including on positions already open, under its Client Agreement. The fee is charged per lot, per trading account, after the 21:00 or 22:00 GMT cut-off.

Deposits, withdrawals and inactivity

Exness says it doesn't charge deposit or withdrawal processing fees, although some payment methods and banks do, and it suggests checking each method's details in the Personal Area. Over 98% of withdrawals are processed automatically, according to Exness, and there is no fee for inactive accounts or for reactivating one. Our Exness withdrawal guide covers the methods and timings.

Which account is cheapest?

• Occasional trades, small sizes: Standard or Standard Cent; no commission, one number to watch.
• Frequent trading on major pairs: compare Raw Spread and Zero; the commission often costs less than a wider spread.
• Trades held for days: look first at swaps and the possible admin fee, which can outweigh any spread saving.

Our Exness account types guide compares all five accounts, and the trading cost calculator runs the numbers.
