FOREX.com, established in 1999 and publicly listed, holds an impressive 7 Tier-1 licenses, which are the most trusted according to ForexBrokers.com. With a Trust Score of 99 out of 99, FOREX.com is considered highly reliable for traders seeking stringent regulation and oversight.

Fees

Comparing commissions and fees, FOREX.com earns 4.5 out of 5 stars and ranks #14 of 63 for pricing, while MultiBank scores 4 out of 5 stars and ranks #39 of 63. Both offer tiered account choices, but their cost structures suit different traders.

FOREX.com’s Standard account has wider spreads in the U.S., averaging about 1.4 pips on EUR/USD (July 2023). Outside the U.S., average EUR/USD spreads were about 0.74 pips in July 2023. Its commission-based RAW account typically shows around 0.13 pips on EUR/USD (February 2024) plus a $7 per standard lot round‑trip commission ($3.50 per side), which equates to roughly 0.7 pips added to the spread. Active traders can get volume rebates ranging from $2 to $9 per million across six tiers. For most U.S. traders who don’t exceed roughly $50 million in monthly volume, the all‑in trading costs on the RAW/Commission setup are similar to the Standard account; the main differences are execution style and platform options.

MultiBank offers three pricing tiers: Standard (higher spreads, $50 minimum deposit), Pro (lower spreads, $1,000 minimum), and ECN (lowest spreads plus a small round‑trip commission of $3 per trade, $10,000 minimum). Note the $60 monthly inactivity fee after 90 days without trading. In simple terms, MultiBank’s ECN can be cost‑effective if you meet the higher deposit, while FOREX.com provides more consistent pricing transparency and better category standing (4.5/5, #14) versus MultiBank’s 4/5 and #39.
