In this head to head comparison of IUX vs Fusion Markets, we will compare the trading platforms, mobile apps, range of investments, costs, market research, and more. Let's dive in.
CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. Between 51% and 89% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.
IUX and Fusion Markets are both private, non-bank brokers, and neither is listed on a stock exchange. IUX was founded in 2016, while Fusion Markets launched in 2019. Based on ForexBrokers.com’s Trust Score scale, IUX scores 76 out of 99, which falls in the average-risk range, while Fusion Markets scores 71 out of 99, also in the average-risk range.
When it comes to regulation, both brokers hold one Tier-1 license, which ForexBrokers.com views as highly trusted. IUX has the edge in this comparison because it also holds one Tier-2 license, while Fusion Markets has none. For traders looking at broker safety and oversight, that extra license may matter when comparing the two.

IUX and Fusion Markets both offer a choice between spread-only pricing and commission-based trading, but Fusion Markets comes out ahead on overall value. IUX’s pricing depends on the account you pick: Standard and Standard+ accounts start with a $10 minimum deposit, while the Raw and Pro accounts need $500. The Raw account charges a $6 commission per 100,000 units, and the Pro account is spread-only with tighter pricing than the Standard options. IUX is rated 4.5/5 stars for commissions and fees and is ranked #19 out of 36 brokers by ForexBrokers.com.
Fusion Markets keeps costs simple with two main account types: Zero and Classic. The Zero account uses raw spreads starting at 0.0 pips plus a separate commission, which Fusion says can work out to about 0.5 pips overall, making it a strong choice for active traders. The Classic account rolls the cost into the spread, with spreads starting at 0.9 pips, which may suit beginners who prefer easy-to-understand pricing. Fusion Markets is rated 5.0/5 stars for commissions and fees and is ranked #N/A out of 36 brokers by ForexBrokers.com.
For traders focused on low commissions and tight spreads, Fusion Markets has the edge, especially on its Zero account. IUX can still be a good fit, particularly if you want a spread-only account like Pro or a lower starting deposit on Standard accounts. In simple terms, Fusion Markets is the cheaper pick for cost-conscious traders, while IUX offers more account choices but does not match Fusion’s lowest-cost setup.

IUX and Fusion Markets both offer a similar range of investments overall, and each is rated 3.5 out of 5 stars for Range of Investments. Both brokers let you trade forex as CFDs and provide cryptocurrency CFDs, but neither offers spot crypto or the ability to buy delivered crypto outright. IUX gives access to 152 tradeable symbols and 34 forex pairs, while Fusion Markets offers a wider selection with 250 tradeable symbols and 81 forex pairs.
Where IUX stands out is its access to exchange-traded securities on international markets, such as shares listed outside the U.S., while Fusion Markets does not offer this. Fusion Markets, however, includes copy trading, which IUX does not. Neither broker offers U.S.-listed exchange-traded shares, so if your focus is on stock investing rather than CFDs, both have limits in that area. In ForexBrokers.com’s ranking for Range of Investments, IUX is listed at #36 out of 36 brokers, while Fusion Markets is not ranked in that category.
