TU Expert Advice

Author, Financial Expert at Traders Union

Spread Co provides trading services with a focus on Forex, indices, stocks, and commodities across Spread Co platforms, mobile platforms, and a web platform. Traders can choose from various account types with leverage up to 1:200 and a minimum deposit of $200. Benefits include low Forex trading fees, tight market spreads, and the absence of deposit and withdrawal fees, enhancing cost efficiency for traders.

On the downside, Spread Co faces challenges such as a complex fee structure for some markets, limited payment options, and the absence of negative balance protection. Crypto trading is not available, which may not appeal to crypto-focused traders. While regulated by the FCA, its suitability may vary: experienced traders could benefit from its tight spreads and low fees, but beginners or those requiring diverse trading assets and payment flexibility may seek alternatives.

I’ve been trading with Spread Co for four months now. There haven’t been any problems yet. I requested a withdrawal to Skrill twice and the money arrived within a day. I didn’t observe any spikes, there was only a disconnection one night, but this was not on a permanent basis. So far I'm happy.

I read opinions about Spread Co and support. Here you can only merge. And believe me, nothing depends on you here in trading. Sometimes it is impossible to open an order, only requotes. How to trade? Better avoid this company.

They constantly talk about violations, or rather they are attributed to them. And they get banned when you start earning!

If you are looking for a fixed spread broker, look no further than Spread Co. By the way, this broker also has a fixed spread for EURUSD — only 0.8 points. It is regulated by the FCA, besides there is a negative balance protection function. Previously, the company accrued interest on the balance of free funds. I don't know if she's doing it now as I've been trading with another broker for a year now. He left not because of bad conditions or violation of the Spread Co contract. I just realized that it is better to trade intraday with floating spreads rather than fixed spreads. Withdrawal of money from the trading account to the bank account without any problems. I have not unsubscribed from the analytics mailing list from the Spread Co website until now!

The money transferred as a deposit in SpreadCo did not reach its destination. Simply put: 200 bucks flew away in an unknown direction and the account was not replenished!

I do not recommend contacting Spread Co. These guys do not like to withdraw money. In my case, the deadline has passed - 30 days - after which the withdrawal of funds was never carried out, citing problems of a different nature. They offered to wait another 10 days. I'm waiting, but I'm already sure that Spread Co are scammers. My advice: if you have money here, then try to withdraw (if possible, of course) and go to another broker.
