| PU Prime (Pty) LtdHistorical correction: we had wrongly published FSP 51298. Read first-hand on 23 September 2026 in the FSCA FSP search and Details / Products Approved views: PU PRIME (PTY) LTD, FSP 52218, status Authorized, authorisation date 11 March 2022. Category I includes intermediary services in derivative instruments. This FSP entry is not proof of separate OTC derivatives-provider approval or of the entity being the trading counterparty. | FSCA FSP 52218 | Verified on register | 2026-09-23 |
| (no Bahamas entity)Historical correction: SIA-F216 was wrongly attributed to PU Prime and removed. The SCB list as at 31 August 2026, read first-hand 23 September, lists Trade Nation Ltd but no PU Prime match. The list has no SIA-F number column, so it does not independently verify the number's ownership or prove that the brand has no authorisation under any other name. No current Bahamas authorisation is attributed to PU Prime. | SCB SIA-F216 | Corrected — verify | 2026-09-23 |

Which PU Prime entity would onboard you?

| Legal entity | Regulator | Typically onboards | Protection notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| PU Prime (Pty) Ltd South Africa | FSCA (Tier 2) Confirm the FSCA entity during signup; most other regions are served by offshore entities with weaker protection. | ZA | No compensation scheme identified |
| PU Prime Financial Services LLC United Arab Emirates | CMA (UAE) (Tier 2) The UAE CMA register confirms Category 5 only and expressly excludes derivatives/spot-FX brokerage, portfolio management and execution of client orders (read 23 September 2026).

Confirm the separate trading counterparty in your agreement. | Category 5 introduction/advice only — not a trading account provider | Not applicable — no retail trading account |
| PU Prime Limited Seychelles | FSA (Tier 3) Offshore Seychelles entity — listed on the FSA Seychelles register as PU Prime Limited (trade name PU Prime), Securities Dealer SD050.

Fees & spreads
| Advertised starting spreadSpreadThe gap between the buy (ask) and sell (bid) price. It's a core trading cost — tighter spreads are cheaper for you. | from 0 pips |
| CommissionCommissionA flat per-trade fee, common on raw/ECN accounts that show tighter spreads. Always compare spread + commission together as the all-in cost. | Prime: USD 7 round turn per lot |
| Minimum deposit | Account-dependent PU Prime's help article read on 15 October 2026 separates account activation from payment limits: Standard requires USD 50 to place trades; Prime requires 1,000 and ECN 10,000 in the account currency, with USD-equivalent rules for HKD and JPY. Cent has a separate USD 20-equivalent threshold. Accounts may remain read-only before their threshold is met. Check the selected account and payment method separately. |

The 0.0-pip starting spread and USD 7 round-turn commission describe the international Prime USD illustration. Standard and ECN have different pricing; the spread is an advertised minimum, not a measured average. Confirm the account tier, instrument, currency and funding requirement separately.
PU Prime commission: Standard, Prime and ECN
The international account page lists Standard without a separate trading commission, Prime at USD 3.50 per lot per side (USD 7 round turn), and ECN at USD 1 per side (USD 2 round turn). These are separate account tiers. Spreads, overnight charges and other applicable costs remain; confirm your entity, instrument and account currency.
A per-side rate applies once when opening and once when closing. A round turn includes both. The USD 7 shown in our fee summary is the Prime illustration, not a rate for every PU Prime account.
Standard
No separate commission
USD 50 to place trades
Prime
USD 7 round turn per lot
USD 1,000 activation threshold
ECN
USD 2 round turn per lot
USD 10,000 activation threshold
These funding examples use USD accounts. Other account currencies and Cent accounts have their own thresholds. The activation article says an account may remain read-only until its threshold is met. A deposit method accepting a payment does not by itself unlock the selected account.
Why a 0.01-lot Prime trade can show USD 0.08 commission
For a 0.01-lot Prime trade, USD 3.50 multiplied by 0.01 is USD 0.035 per side. PU Prime says MetaTrader rounds each side to USD 0.04, so opening and closing total USD 0.08. Do not round the combined USD 0.07 first.
This calculation covers commission only. Read the spread and overnight quote too, and compare the same instrument, account currency and lot size. A lower ECN commission does not establish that its total cost is lower for your trade.
