Exness Commission Structure 2026 — Every Fee Explained

Exness is one of the highest-volume forex brokers globally, processing over $3 trillion in monthly trading volume. With 5 different account types, each with its own fee structure, choosing the right one requires understanding exactly what you pay and when you pay it.

We dissected every fee across all Exness accounts: commissions, spreads, swaps, deposit charges, withdrawal charges, inactivity fees, and currency conversion costs. Here is the complete breakdown.

Exness Fee Overview

Exness operates on two pricing models depending on the account type:

• Spread-only accounts (Standard, Standard Cent) — zero commission, all costs built into the spread
• Commission accounts (Raw Spread, Zero, Pro) — tighter spreads with separate commission charges

All Exness accounts share these common fee characteristics:

• Zero deposit fees on all payment methods
• Zero withdrawal fees on all payment methods
• No inactivity fees
• No account maintenance fees

All 5 Account Types Compared

*Unlimited leverage available for accounts under $1,000. Higher balances have reduced leverage based on equity tiers.

Standard Account — Zero Commission

The Exness Standard account is the flagship zero-commission offering. There is no commission charged on any trade. Your only execution cost is the spread.

During our 30-day testing period, we measured the following EUR/USD spreads on the Standard account:

• Average spread (London/NY): 0.7 pip ($7/lot)
• Average spread (Asian session): 1.1 pip ($11/lot)
• Tightest spread recorded: 0.3 pip ($3/lot)
• Widest spread (news event): 4.8 pip ($48/lot)

At an average cost of $7 per standard lot with zero commission, the Exness Standard account is cheaper than most ECN brokers that charge 0.0-0.2 pip spread plus $7 round-trip commission ($7-9 total per lot).

Standard Cent Account

The Standard Cent account has identical pricing to the Standard account (zero commission, same spreads) but trades in cents rather than dollars. One standard lot on the Cent account equals 1,000 units instead of 100,000. This makes it ideal for testing strategies with real money at minimal risk.

Maximum deposit is typically capped at $10,000 equivalent. Spread and swap conditions mirror the Standard account exactly.

Raw Spread Account

The Raw Spread account offers the tightest spreads available at Exness, starting from 0.0 pips. However, it charges a commission of up to $3.50 per lot per side ($7 round-trip).

For our EUR/USD testing:

• Average spread: 0.1 pip ($1)
• Commission: $3.50/side ($7)
• Total cost per lot: $8

This makes the Raw Spread slightly more expensive than the Standard account for EUR/USD ($8 vs $7). The Raw Spread account becomes cost-effective primarily on exotic pairs where the spread difference between Standard and Raw is more significant.

Zero Account

The Zero account guarantees 0.0 pip spreads on the 30 most popular instruments during 95% of the trading day. Commission varies by instrument, starting from $0.05 per side on some pairs and reaching $3.50 per side on others.

This account is designed for traders who need predictable spread costs and are willing to pay variable commission. Total costs are comparable to the Raw Spread account for major pairs.

Pro Account

The Pro account charges zero commission with spreads from 0.1 pips. The key difference is instant execution rather than market execution. This means your trades execute at the price you see (with potential requotes) rather than at the best available market price (with potential slippage).

On paper, the Pro account offers the best of both worlds: zero commission and near-raw spreads. In practice, instant execution means you may experience requotes during fast-moving markets, which can be frustrating for news traders and scalpers.

Hidden Fees Check

We checked Exness for every common hidden fee:

Exness passed our hidden fee audit with a perfect score. No deposit fees, no withdrawal fees, no inactivity charges, and no currency conversion markup. The only ongoing costs are spreads (all accounts), commissions (Raw Spread and Zero accounts only), and overnight swap fees.

Which Account to Choose

• Standard — Best for most traders. Zero commission, competitive spreads, $10 minimum. If in doubt, start here.
• Standard Cent — Best for testing with real money at minimal risk. Same pricing as Standard.
• Raw Spread — Best for high-volume traders on exotic pairs where spread savings outweigh the $7/lot commission.
• Zero — Best for traders who need guaranteed 0.0 pip spreads on major pairs.
• Pro — Best for advanced traders who prefer instant execution and want zero commission with near-raw spreads.

For the majority of retail traders, the Exness Standard account offers the best balance of low cost, simplicity, and zero commission. Unless you have a specific technical requirement that demands one of the professional account types, Standard is the optimal default choice.
