IUX Markets Broker: Official Review 2025

IUX is an online broker that offers CFD trading services on a limited number of assets through two platforms, IUX WebTrader and MT5, both also available in mobile app version.
The broker's headquarters are located in Mauritius, a country that since 2020 is no longer classified as a non-cooperative jurisdiction. However, IUX also has companies registered in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (considered a tax haven by many Latin American countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Mexico), as well as in South Africa and Australia.
IUX does not provide services to residents of Australia, Canada, Ukraine, European Union countries, United Kingdom, United States or Malaysia.
It is therefore a broker not regulated in solid and reliable jurisdictions and with a limited offering, but which provides robust trading technology and market-competitive spreads.

For client protection, IUX declares the implementation of the following security standards:

• Two-factor authentication (2FA) – Access with password and mobile device verification code
• Device monitoring – Access control and notifications in case of login from a new computer or mobile device
• Session timeout – Automatic disconnection after prolonged inactivity
• Suspicious activity alerts – Monitoring and instant notifications in case of suspicious access attempts, unusual trading operations or changes in account settings
• Data encryption on IUX servers with 256-bit SSL protocol
• Compliance with international requirements for payment data management (PCI DSS)

Regarding client funds, IUX declares keeping them in segregated accounts (that is, in accounts separate from the company’s).

It also states that it “collaborates with top-tier global banks” and “Tier-1 Banks”, but in this case IUX does not specify what kind of collaboration it maintains nor with which banks; moreover, the reference to Tier-1 (level of financial strength of the banks in question) does not clarify the exact level.

IUX also guarantees negative balance protection, meaning the impossibility of losing more money than is available in the account, as well as offering on some instruments a guaranteed stop loss (closing of the position at the pre-set level).

Regarding the funds deposited by clients, IUX declares that it keeps them in segregated accounts (that is, in accounts different from those of the company).
It also declares that it “collaborates with top-level global banks” and “Tier-1 Banks”, but in this case IUX does not specify what kind of collaboration it has nor with which banks; furthermore, the reference to Tier-1 (i.e. the level of financial solidity of the banks in question) does not specify its degree.

IUX also guarantees negative balance protection, meaning that one can never lose more than the money available in the account, in addition to offering on some instruments guaranteed stop loss (closing of the position at the pre-set level).

IUX offers three main account types: Standard, Pro, and Raw. The main differences are in the minimum deposit, spreads, and commissions.

*Level at which the broker closes the client's positions

The Standard account is suitable for beginner traders looking for a simple and straightforward trading experience. This means that CFDs should always be approached with a solid understanding of how they work and the variables that influence price formation. The execution type is market-based, which means that trades are executed with the broker.

The Pro account is designed for more experienced traders seeking tighter spreads and greater control over their trading activity. Execution is also of the market-based type.

The Raw account (with “raw spreads” or pure spreads, without markup) is more suitable for highly active and experienced traders. In exchange for a higher minimum deposit and fixed commissions of 7$ per lot, it offers spreads from 0 PIP on a wide range of currency pairs — including the majors — and on other selected assets. The Raw account claims to operate under the DMA (Direct Market Access) model, which means that trades are not executed with the broker but directly within the foreign exchange network.

Deposits can be made with Visa and Mastercard debit and credit cards, as well as with other unspecified cards, bank transfers, electronic wallets (e-wallets) and systems available in specific countries. The deposit must come from an account in the same holder’s name.

IUX does not charge commissions for deposits or withdrawals, which are processed instantly.

Accounts can be opened online, even from the app, and require the prior completion of three steps:

• Proof of Identity (POI): providing a valid identity document
• Proof of Bank (POB): providing a document confirming bank account ownership (for example, a bank statement)
• Proof of Address (POA): providing a document verifying the actual country of residence

The documents can be scanned in real time and uploaded automatically, or manually uploaded from the user’s device during the verification process, which usually takes between 10 and 15 minutes.

IUX offers the possibility to open up to 6 demo accounts for the Standard, Pro and Raw account types. The demo account is an account without real money but with 10,000 EUR/USD virtual, which allows you to practice with the platform and CFDs.
Demo accounts are available on all desktop platforms and the app. They have no expiration date but are automatically closed if not used for at least 90 days.

To activate a demo account:

• Log in to your account
• Go to the "Account" section in the main menu
• Click on "Create a trading account"
• Select "Try demo"
• Choose the account type you prefer (Standard, Pro or Raw)
• Set the financial leverage
• Fill out the form and submit it

IUX offers the possibility to open all accounts (Standard, Pro and Raw) in “swap free” format, meaning without overnight commission charges, in compliance with Sharia rules, which prohibit Riba (interest) and Gharam (uncertainty, unforeseeable risk).
For residents in Islamic countries (e.g. Indonesia), the account is automatically opened as swap-free; otherwise, it must be configured after the opening.
