Overview Of Exness Trading Accounts
The broker offers five distinct account categories for South African traders. Each forex account Exness provides comes with unique features, spreads, and minimum deposit requirements. These accounts cater to beginners starting their trading journey and experienced professionals seeking advanced tools.
Exness account registration is straightforward for South African residents. The platform accepts local banking methods and supports multiple currencies. All South African trader accounts include the same core safety features and regulatory protection.
Exness Standard Accounts
Standard accounts serve as the entry point for most new traders. The minimum deposit Exness requires for standard accounts is just $1, making them accessible to traders with limited capital.
Spreads start from 0.3 pips on major currency pairs like EUR/USD. The account includes swap-free options, qualifying as an Exness Islamic account for traders following Sharia principles. Account leverage Exness offers goes up to 1:2000 for retail clients, though South African regulations may impose different limits.
Commission structure is spread-only, meaning no additional fees per trade. This simplicity appeals to beginners who want transparent pricing without complex calculations.
Exness Cent Accounts
Cent accounts use cent denominations instead of standard currency units. A $100 deposit becomes 10,000 cents, allowing traders to practice with smaller position sizes while maintaining realistic market exposure.
These accounts share the same spreads as standard accounts but provide psychological benefits for new traders. Risk management becomes easier when dealing with smaller numerical values. The account leverage Exness provides remains the same as standard accounts.
Cent accounts support the same currency pairs and trading instruments as other account types. They’re perfect for testing strategies without significant capital exposure.
Exness Pro Accounts
Pro accounts target experienced traders who need tighter spreads and faster execution. The minimum deposit requirement increases to $200, filtering out casual traders.
Spreads start from 0.1 pips on major pairs during peak trading hours. Execution speed improves significantly compared to standard accounts. Pro accounts include priority customer support and enhanced trading tools.

Choosing The Right Account
Picking the right Exness trading account depends on a trader’s goals, experience, and budget. Beginners in South Africa should consider Standard or Cent accounts for their low minimum deposits and simplicity. These accounts are forgiving, with features like negative balance protection to keep trading safe. Experienced traders might prefer Pro, Zero, or Raw Spread accounts for their tighter spreads and advanced features, though the higher deposits and commissions require careful planning.
For Muslim traders, Exness Islamic accounts are available across all account types, offering swap-free trading to comply with Sharia principles. These accounts have the same minimum deposits and features as their standard counterparts, making them a great choice for South African traders with ethical concerns. Leverage on Exness accounts can go up to 1:2000, but high leverage should be used cautiously, especially during volatile markets like news releases, where it’s capped at 1:200.
