Six steps, in the order we would take them

Each step has its own guide with the details and the sources.

Checklist: check who holds your account, open and verify, pick an account type, ask for swap-free status, fund the FxPro Wallet, install a platform

  1. Check who would hold your account

    FxPro has no UAE licence. Read which overseas FxPro company would hold your account and what that means for you.

    Regulation guide

  2. Open and verify the account

    Sign up with your country, email and a password, then verify with your passport or ID and a recent proof of address.

  3. Pick Standard, Raw+ or cTrader

    The difference is how you pay: inside the spread, or a raw spread plus commission. We work through the numbers.

  4. Ask for swap-free status if you need it

    FxPro offers swap-free accounts for religious reasons on request. Ask about the fee schedule before you trade.

  5. Fund the FxPro Wallet

    Money goes into the FxPro Wallet first, then to a trading account. FxPro has no AED wallet, so your bank converts.

Regulation

FxPro is regulated, but not in the UAE

FxPro is a group of companies regulated in the UK, Cyprus, the Bahamas and the Seychelles. None of them is licensed by the UAE's Capital Market Authority (the former SCA), the DFSA in the DIFC or the FSRA in ADGM.

FxPro did hold a DFSA licence through FxPro Global Markets MENA Limited, but the DFSA register shows it was withdrawn in February 2020. Your client agreement at sign-up names the company that will hold your account.

Swap-free trading

Need an Islamic account?

FxPro offers swap-free accounts for religious purposes on request. Swaps are removed, but FxPro says fees may apply once positions on some instruments stay open for a set number of days, so ask for the schedule first.

Read the Islamic account guide
A standard account pays or charges a swap every night; a swap-free account has no swap but may charge a holding fee after a set number of days
  • Request it from FxPro's back office after your account is open.
  • Ask which instruments have a holding fee and after how many days.
  • Keep the written answer with your account records.

Why this site covers only FxPro

We are an FxPro introducing broker. Rather than pretend to rank dozens of brokers we have never used, we cover one broker in depth: how FxPro works for someone who lives in the UAE, where its rules differ from what you might expect, and what to ask before you deposit. If you open an account through our link, FxPro may pay us a commission. You pay no extra fee to us.

What “not licensed in the UAE” means in practice

FxPro is regulated in the UK, Cyprus, the Bahamas and the Seychelles, but none of those licences comes from a UAE regulator. Since 1 January 2026 the federal regulator is the Capital Market Authority, which replaced the Securities and Commodities Authority. Inside the free zones, the DFSA supervises the DIFC and the FSRA supervises ADGM. FxPro had a DFSA-licensed company in Dubai until its licence was withdrawn in February 2020.

So if you open an FxPro account from the UAE, an overseas FxPro company holds it under that company’s rules. Complaints, compensation schemes and leverage limits follow that company’s regulator, not a UAE one. Our regulation guide lists the companies and how to check which one your client agreement names.

Costs a UAE resident should expect

  • Trading costs: on a Standard account the cost is in the spread (FX majors from 1.2 pips); on Raw+ the spread starts at zero and you pay $3.50 commission per side. Our spreads guide works through a full example in dollars and dirhams.
  • Currency conversion: FxPro does not offer AED accounts. Your bank converts dirhams, usually to US dollars, and its rate is part of your cost.
  • Funding fees: FxPro says it charges no deposit or withdrawal fees, but UAE and correspondent banks may charge for international transfers.
  • Overnight swaps: charged on positions held overnight unless your account has swap-free status, which FxPro grants on request.

How to use this site

If you are new to FxPro, follow the six steps above in order. If you only need one answer, the guides are short and each one says when it was last checked. We write every guide from primary sources, mainly FxPro’s own pages and the regulators’ registers, and we list them at the end. How we research and check our work is explained on our About page.

FAQ

Questions UAE residents ask

Is it legal to use FxPro from the UAE?

FxPro accepts clients from many countries, but it does not hold a UAE licence from the Capital Market Authority, the DFSA or the FSRA. That means UAE regulators do not supervise your account and UAE complaint routes do not apply.

Whether and how you may use an overseas broker is your responsibility to check; we cannot give legal advice.

Can I deposit in dirhams?

FxPro lists EUR, USD, GBP, CHF, JPY, PLN and AUD as its currencies, not AED. When you pay from a UAE bank account or card, your bank converts the dirhams, usually to USD. Ask your bank for its exchange rate and fees before a large transfer.

Which documents do I need to verify?

FxPro asks for a valid passport, national ID card or driving licence, and may ask for a proof of address issued in the last six months, such as a bank statement or utility bill. Documents are accepted only through FxPro Direct or the FxPro app, not by email.

Does FxPro have an Islamic account?

Yes. FxPro offers swap-free accounts for religious purposes on request to its back office. FxPro says fees may apply once positions on certain instruments stay open for a set number of days, so ask for the details in writing.

Does signing up through this site cost me more?

No. We are an FxPro introducing broker and FxPro may pay us a commission for accounts opened through our link. You pay no fee to us.

Do I pay tax on trading profits in the UAE?

The UAE does not charge personal income tax on individuals. Other rules can still apply to you, for example if your home country taxes its citizens abroad, so check your own situation.
