In this head to head comparison of MultiBank vs VT 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.
Comparing MultiBank and VT Markets reveals differences in their trustworthiness and regulatory standings. MultiBank, established in 2005, has earned a Trust Score of 84 on ForexBrokers.com, placing it in the 'trusted' category. It holds three Tier-1 licenses and one Tier-2 license, signaling a strong regulatory foundation. In contrast, VT Markets, founded in 2016, has a Trust Score of 70, reflecting an 'average risk' standing as per ForexBrokers.com. VT Markets holds one Tier-1 license and one Tier-2 license, which provides a satisfactory level of regulatory oversight.
Neither MultiBank nor VT Markets is publicly traded or operates as a bank. This distinction emphasizes their sole focus as online brokers. For those evaluating online trading options based on regulatory security, MultiBank's more extensive collection of Tier-1 licenses could be a significant consideration, whereas VT Markets maintains a basic, though decent, trust level through its regulatory licenses.

Comparing commissions and fees, VT Markets edges out MultiBank on value for most traders. VT Markets earns 4.5 out of 5 stars and ranks #21 of 63 for Commissions and Fees at ForexBrokers.com, while MultiBank scores 4 out of 5 stars and ranks #39 of 63. VT Markets keeps entry costs simple with a $100 minimum deposit on both account types, whereas MultiBank’s cheaper Standard account starts at $50 but its more competitive pricing sits behind higher minimums.
MultiBank offers three account tiers: Standard ($50 minimum, higher relative spreads), Pro ($1,000 minimum, lower spreads), and ECN ($10,000 minimum) with its lowest spreads plus a $3 round-trip commission per trade. Note that MultiBank charges a non-trading inactivity fee of $60 per month after 90 days without activity.
VT Markets provides two choices: the commission-free Standard STP account (typical EUR/USD spread 1.2 pips) and the Raw ECN account (effective EUR/USD spread of 0.83 pips, based on a 0.23-pip average spread plus a 0.6-pip round-turn commission for September 2021). In short, VT Markets delivers lower effective spreads at a much lower minimum deposit, while MultiBank can be cost-competitive on its ECN tier if you can meet the higher $10,000 entry requirement.

After testing 63 of the best forex brokers, our research and account testing finds that MultiBank is better than VT Markets. MultiBank finished with an overall rank of #40, while VT Markets finished with an overall rank of #44.
MultiBank Group, in operation since 2005, is home to numerous global brands and regulated in jurisdictions all over the world. A multi-asset broker, MultiBank offers forex and CFDs through the MetaTrader and cTrader platform suites (though not all markets are readily available) as well as underlying crypto assets via its regulated crypto exchange. On the negative side, the broker’s market research offering is unimpressive and educational content is entirely absent; MultiBank’s poor performance in these important categories drags down its Overall rating.
