CFI Financial vs Equiti

Multi-region CFD broker with entities in Cyprus, UAE, Lebanon, Jordan, and previously Oman. Offers tight spreads on forex, indices, commodities, and equities through MT4/MT5 plus their proprietary platform. Important regulatory notes: on 18 September 2025, Oman's Financial Services Authority cancelled CFI Financial LLC's capital-market licence for AML/CFT breaches and out-of-scope activity. Earlier, in May 2022, the CySEC entity was fined EUR 150,000 for AML/CFT breaches. CFI's DFSA (Dubai), CySEC (Cyprus, post-fine), and other regional licences remain active per current public records, but the dual AML enforcement history is worth weighing. Existing clients should verify which entity holds their account.

Multi-region broker headquartered in London with strong regulatory presence in Jordan, Cyprus and the UAE. STP execution model and zero minimum on the Standard account, with raw spreads from 0.0 pips for active traders.
