FxPro South Africa. Frequently Asked Questions
75%+ of retail investor accounts lose money trading CFDs.
Regulation and entity
FSCA FSP 45052 is issued to FxPro Financial Services Ltd, verify on the public register, then match your client agreement. FxPro also holds FCA 509956, CySEC 078/07 and SCB SIA-F184 in the wider group; your onboarding entity determines which applies.
CFDs under FSCA auth are principal-to-principal and not FAIS intermediary services. FSCA authorisation is not a guarantee that every SA visitor receives the FSCA entity, check at signup.
Money in and out
Broker-side deposit fees: $0. Standard Wallet: no fixed minimum; payment rails often ~$100 or rand equivalent, confirm in FxPro Direct. ZAR base currency is available on supported routes.
Withdrawals: mostly $0 broker-side except Neteller at 2.6%. Raw+ typically needs ~$1,000 to open comfortably. Inactivity fee: $15/month after six months without trading. EFT from FNB, Capitec or Standard Bank is the common SA path, see ZAR deposits.
Platforms and demo
Live and demo on MT4, MT5 and cTrader via FxPro Direct. Demo uses virtual funds, useful before your first rand transfer. Demo pricing mirrors live; execution can differ under real volatility.

Risk, leverage and tax note
75% or more of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs with this provider. FxPro publishes that figure; we repeat it because affiliates often do not.
Leverage caps depend on entity, higher on some offshore routes, lower on FCA/CySEC retail profiles. Tax on trading profits may involve CGT in South Africa; we are not tax advisers, speak to a qualified professional. Nothing here promises returns.
