easyMarkets is a forex and CFD broker founded in 2001 as Easy Forex and renamed easyMarkets in 2016.

Regulation
ASIC
CySEC
FSCA
BVI★
FSA
The group operates through several entities: Easy Forex Trading Ltd under CySEC in Cyprus, Easymarkets Pty Ltd under ASIC in Australia, EF Worldwide Ltd under the BVI FSC and the FSA of Seychelles, and EF Worldwide (PTY) Ltd under the FSCA in South Africa. Clients from Mexico are served by EF Worldwide Ltd under licence BVI FSC SIBA/L/20/1135, as stated in the client agreement. Mexico has no dedicated retail-CFD regulator, and the BVI entity has no investor compensation scheme, so escalation for a Mexican client runs through the broker's internal complaints procedure and then the British Virgin Islands Financial Services Commission.

No account charges a commission; pricing is spread-only and there are no account fees. The minimum trade size is 0.01 lots. Maximum leverage depends on the platform and the instrument: up to 1:400 on the easyMarkets platform and up to 1:2000 on MetaTrader, where the 1:2000 tier applies to major forex pairs. Leverage is set at the account level and is changed by contacting the account manager rather than from the platform itself. A swap-free option is available on request. Accounts can be opened in Mexican pesos (MXN) among other currencies.

Withdrawals
Withdrawals are processed within two business days (up to 48 hours) after KYC verification and follow a return-to-source policy: funds are returned to the method used to deposit, or, where that is not possible, to another method the client has used before. A 10% fee applies to any withdrawal of $500 or more that does not meet the minimum trading volume, where each $500 withdrawn requires $200,000 of turnover. If the account base currency differs from the card currency, a conversion charge may apply.
