Professional client account

Elective-professional status is only for traders who already meet strict eligibility tests. It removes retail protections — read what you would give up before considering it.

Offered
True
Eligibility
Elective professional (MiFID-style) re-categorisation: must meet 2 of 3 criteria — (1) trades of significant size at average frequency of 10 per quarter over the previous four quarters (with FxPro or other providers); (2) financial instrument portfolio (cash deposits + financial instruments, excluding property and derivative notional) exceeding EUR 500,000; (3) at least 1 year in a professional financial-sector role requiring knowledge of the relevant transactions. Application via applications.fxpro.com/en/pro/1
Max leverage (pro)
UK/EU professional: up to 1:500 (per BrokerChooser/SafeForexBrokers 2026 reviews; no primary UK/CY professional leverage schedule found). FxPro Global Markets (SCB) professional: dynamic leverage up to 1:10000 on FX majors and gold (0.01% margin up to 10 lots, decreasing with volume — broker's own professional leverage PDF)
Pricing/rebate vs retail
None documented — spreads/commissions are the same; discounts are tied to separate programs, not professional status: Elite account (rebates from $1.50/lot) and VIP/Premium (from $50,000 wallet deposit: up to 30% spread discount, up to 30% lower cTrader commission, free VPS)
Protections lost
Loses ICF (Investor Compensation Fund) eligibility for FxPro Financial Services Ltd clients; may lose FSCS eligibility for FxPro UK Ltd clients; retail leverage caps (EU/UK) no longer apply. FxPro states Negative Balance Protection IS retained for professionals (subject to Order Execution Policy), as are segregated funds and the right to re-categorise as retail at any time.
FSCS treatment
FxPro's own wording: professional clients 'may not be eligible for the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) for the clients of FxPro UK Limited' — i.e. FSCS cover is not assured for elective professionals
Regional notes
Professional re-categorisation is relevant to the FCA (UK) and CySEC (EU) entities where retail leverage caps (1:30 majors) apply. Clients of FxPro Global Markets (Bahamas) already receive high/'unlimited' dynamic leverage as retail, with separate professional tiers. UK crypto-CFD access: FxPro's FAQ bars retail clients of FxPro UK Ltd only; FCA ban applies to retail clients, but FxPro does not explicitly advertise crypto CFDs to UK elective professionals.

Data notes: METHOD: fxpro.com and trustpilot.com block direct fetching (Cloudflare 403), so broker pages were read from recent Wayback Machine snapshots (mostly Jan-Jul 2026) and FxPro's legal/leverage PDFs were pulled LIVE from the broker's Azure blob storage (fxdatarepro/fxprorepo, retrieved 2026-07-11). Wayback crawls are US-geo, so most page footers show the SCB (Bahamas) entity; UK/EU-specific page variants could not be rendered. NULLS/UNCERTAINTY: (1) platforms.api = null — no retail trading API is documented on pages reviewed; institutional arm 'FxPro Prime' exists but its connectivity was not verified. (2) Typical EURUSD spread for Raw+/Elite = not published by broker and no reliable tested average found (broker minimum is 0.0 + $7 round turn); Standard 1.6 and cTrader 0.6 are ForexBrokers.com tested averages, not broker-published. (3) Elite $30,000 minimum is from two independent 2026 reviews, not seen on a primary page. (4) UK/EU professional max leverage 1:500 is from secondary sources only; the primary professional leverage PDF found covers only FxPro Global Markets (up to 1:10000 dynamic). (5) Trustpilot 3.2/5 read from Trustpilot page titles surfaced in search (one review site cites 3.0/769 reviews); direct page fetch blocked. (6) Inactivity fee is primary-sourced from live Client Agreements ($10 one-off + $10/month after 6 months) — note many comparison sites still cite an outdated '$15 + $5/month' structure. (7) retail_loss_disclosure_pct 85 is the most recent footer figure (May 2026, SCB-entity variant); figures 81-86% appear across entities/periods, so the UK/CY entity figure may differ by a point or two. (8) No FCA/CySEC enforcement actions against FxPro were found — recorded as an empty list, not as a verified clean record. (9) The FxScouts claim that South African clients are onboarded via a Costa Rica SRL is single-source and unverified. (10) Crypto: FCA retail CFD ban confirmed still in force in 2026 (Oct-2025 relaxation covers exchange-traded ETNs/ETPs only); FxPro's own FAQ confirms no crypto for FxPro UK retail; EU retail 1:2 cap per ESMA is standard but the FxPro-CySEC-specific crypto page variant was not directly viewable. (11) 'Founded' is genuinely ambiguous: Wikipedia says 2002, CySEC licence dates to 2007, brand launched 2006, broker markets 'since 1999' — all data points recorded.
