About the company:

Zurich Prime positions itself as an NDD broker.

About company. Security of funds

Zurich Prime is a forex broker headquartered in Romania and owned by the U-Nix Solutions. It is registered in the offshore zone of the Marshall Islands. This broker is not regulated. Moreover, the British FCA (in 2015) and the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) (in 2016) warned traders that Zurich Prime operated in their jurisdictions without appropriate licenses. Most often, such warnings indicate that the specified company is a fraud.

Trading conditions

Zurich Prime offers a wide range of live trading accounts including an Islamic account without swaps. Nevertheless, there is no demo account.

The broker also provides its customers with a wide choice of trading assets such as currency pairs, CFD on various instruments, indexes, commodities, and stocks.

Minimum deposit

The minimum deposit is $ 500. Taking into consideration the fact that the broker does not have any licence, such amount of money is rather large to start trading. Traders should be aware that their investments are not protected.

Spreads and commissions

The size of the spreads depends on the type of account that traders open and their initial payment: the higher the deposit amount, the lower the spread. So, the owners of the Platinum account that requires the highest deposit ($50,000) are offered a spread of 1 pip. Those who have opened the Standard account ($500) can choose spreads that start from 2.3 pips.The broker does not charge fees: Zurich Prime earns on spreads and commissions per night.

Leverage

The maximum leverage offered by the broker is 1:400. Traders should always remember that leverage increases not only profits but also losses. Therefore, many regulators start limiting controlled brokers with the leverage of up to 1:30 or 1:50.

Trading platform

Zurich Prime offers the Sirix trading platform for desktop, web, and mobile devices. It was developed a few years ago by Leverate. Its functions are similar to those of Metatrader. Additionally, the broker provides traders with the opportunity to copy transactions of other users of the platform.
