In the world of online trading, trust is paramount. Plus500 is not only trusted by thousands of active traders worldwide but is also regulated by top-tier financial authorities across various jurisdictions, including the UK, Australia, Singapore, and Dubai’s DFSA under License No. F005651.
To give you even more peace of mind, Plus500 holds your funds in segregated accounts. This ensures that your capital is separate from company funds, offering maximum protection in case of any unforeseen events.

Risk-Free Trading with the Demo Account
For beginners or traders looking to refine their strategies, Plus500 provides a demo account with virtual funds of €40,000 (or its equivalent in other currencies). This risk-free account allows you to familiarize yourself with the platform's tools and market conditions without committing any real money.
No Hidden Fees, Just Transparency
Plus500 operates on a transparent pricing model, which sets it apart from many other platforms that charge commissions or hidden fees. Instead of complicated fee structures, Plus500 earns its revenue through the market spread, which is the difference between the buying and selling price of an asset.
While Plus500 doesn’t charge commissions, there are some additional fees traders should be aware of:
- Overnight Funding: A fee applied when holding positions overnight, which varies based on the instrument.
- Currency Conversion Fee: A small fee (0.7%) applies if you’re trading in an asset that is denominated in a different currency than your account.
- Inactivity Fee: A fee that applies if you haven’t logged into your account for three months, encouraging regular engagement with the platform.
Despite these minor fees, Plus500 ensures that withdrawals are completely free, regardless of how often you request them.
A Trading Platform for Every Need
Plus500 is equipped to handle all your trading needs, whether you’re trading during regular market hours or looking to take advantage of extended hours. For example, Plus500 offers pre-market and post-market trading for CFD shares, allowing you to trade from 04:00-09:30 ET and 16:00-20:00 ET, respectively. This feature gives you more flexibility to capitalize on global market movements, even outside regular trading hours.
In addition, Plus500 provides various payment methods for deposits and withdrawals, including debit cards (Visa/Mastercard), PayPal, wire transfers, and other region-specific methods. These options ensure that you can manage your funds in the way that best suits you.
