Frequently asked questions

5 questions from Dubai traders

Does the broker have to be DFSA-licensed?
Not required. Dubai traders can legally trade with any broker licensed by a trusted regulator — FCA (UK), ASIC (Australia), CySEC (Cyprus), FINMA (Switzerland). DFSA is extra local protection but not a legal requirement.
How fast are AED withdrawals?
Exness is fastest — instant withdrawal to UAE bank cards or USDT wallets (under an hour). IC Markets and Pepperstone take 1-3 business days via AED bank transfer. XM is mid-speed (24 hours). All support crypto (USDT) withdrawals for maximum speed.
Do I need UAE residency to open an account?
UAE residency helps but is not required. International brokers (Exness, IC Markets, XM) accept account opening with passport only plus address proof (utility bill, lease, or bank statement). Onboarding usually takes 5-15 minutes.
What are the actual trading fees in Dubai?
No government or tax fees on individual trading in the UAE. Only broker fees apply: spread (0.0-0.8 pip for EURUSD), Raw account commission ($3-7 per lot round-turn), and bank withdrawal fees if any (usually free via Exness and XM).
Can I trade officially from DIFC or ADGM?
If you are employed by a DIFC or ADGM company, individual trading is allowed as usual. To incorporate a trading company in DIFC / ADGM, you need a different license (Category 3 or 4) with minimum capital requirements. Most individual traders do not need this.
