Exness trading fees: the model
Exness splits pricing by account type. Per its own published figures: Standard (spread from 0.2 pips), Standard Cent (from 0.3) and Pro (from 0.1) are commission-free, with costs built into the spread; Raw Spread and Zero quote from 0.0 pips and charge per-lot commission instead — up to $3.50 per lot per side on Raw Spread (≈ $7 round turn), while Zero's minimum commission varies by instrument (Exness's own pages give slightly different starting figures, so check the contract specifications for your instrument). Which model is cheaper depends on size and frequency — commission accounts usually win for high volume.

Costs and charges may vary depending on the jurisdiction, account type and entity.
Spreads
Published "from" spreads are best-case figures on major pairs in liquid hours. Spreads widen around news and rollover, and exotic pairs cost multiples of the majors. Judge an account by the spreads on the instruments you actually trade, at the times you trade them.
Swaps — and one charge to know about
Exness grants automatic swap-free status account-wide to clients registering from 33 Islamic-majority countries; for other countries, swap-free eligibility is conditional and can be withdrawn, so confirm your account's actual overnight costs in the platform. Separately, Exness's help centre discloses a discretionary administration fee on overnight positionsfor accounts whose activity falls outside its expected day-trading profile — published example rates run from about $1 to several hundred dollars per lot depending on the instrument. Typical day traders won't meet it, but anyone holding size overnight should read that policy before assuming "zero swap" means zero overnight cost.
Deposits and withdrawals
Exness states it charges no deposit or withdrawal fees on its side and covers third-party costs, with the caveat that fees may apply on specific payment methods. Many e-wallet and local methods process often instant, and Exness reports over 98% of withdrawals are processed automatically (non-instant ones within 24 hours on its side). Available payment methods may vary depending on your jurisdiction, and depending on the payment method, third-party or bank charges may apply. Withdrawals return to the original deposit method first — see how withdrawals work.
Inactivity fee
Exness's help centre states it plainly: no fees for inactive accounts and no fee to reactivate an archived one. Unused real accounts can be auto-archived (funds intact, free reactivation). That is unusually clean for the industry — many brokers charge monthly dormancy fees — but policies change, so check the current client agreement if you plan a long break.
Entity and country differences
Exness operates through multiple entities (FCA, CySEC, FSCA, FSA). Your onboarding entity sets your regulator, compensation cover (ICF up to €20,000 (CySEC clients) for the CySEC entity), leverage and product range. Check the Exness scan page and our entity checker before depositing.
