Regulation
IUX
IUX operates through several global entities to service its international client base. It holds licenses from the FSC in Mauritius (Investment Dealer license), the FSA in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and the ASIC in Australia (IUX Markets AU Pty. Ltd., tailored for specific wholesale/institutional client operations rather than broad retail).
Saxo Bank
Highly secure and trusted, operating as a licensed bank. It is authorized by seven Tier-1 regulators globally, including the FCA (UK), FSA (Denmark), FINMA (Switzerland), ASIC (Australia), MAS (Singapore), and JFSA (Japan).
Spreads
IUX
UX boasts institutional-grade pricing. The Standard Account features minimum spreads starting from 0.2 pips, the Pro Account from 0.1 pips, and the Raw Account offers interbank spreads starting at 0.0 pips. The broker utilizes low-latency fiber-optic connections to deliver ~30 ms execution times.
Saxo Bank
Spreads vary significantly by account tier. Classic accounts have average industry spreads, while VIP accounts can see minimum spreads as low as 0.4 pips on major pairs like the EUR/USD. Saxo provides highly reliable, bank-grade execution liquidity.
Fees
IUX
Pricing is highly competitive and depends on the account. The Standard and Pro accounts are commission-free (costs are baked into the spread). The Raw account charges a $7 commission per lot round-turn, which is an industry standard for raw ECN pricing. The broker does not charge deposit or internal withdrawal fees.
Saxo Bank
Forex trading is generally commission-free, with costs baked into the spread (except for trades under 50,000 units, which incur a small ticket fee). Custody fees and inactivity fees may apply depending on the region and account tier, though they are reduced or waived for higher-tier accounts.
Platforms
IUX
The broker is highly streamlined. Traders can use the proprietary IUX WebTerminal, the IUX Trade App (highly rated on iOS and Android), or the industry-leading MetaTrader 5 (MT5) suite.
Saxo Bank
Saxo does not use MetaTrader. Instead, it offers its world-class proprietary suite: SaxoTraderGO (a highly intuitive web and mobile platform) and SaxoTraderPRO (an advanced, customizable desktop platform designed for active professionals).
Account types
IUX
IUX offers three main tiers: Standard: Best for general traders ($50 min. deposit, spreads from 0.2, zero commission). Raw: Best for scalpers and EAs ($200 min. deposit, spreads from 0.0, $7/lot commission). Pro: Best for high-volume, long-term traders ($200 min. deposit, ultra-low spreads from 0.1, zero commission).
Saxo Bank
Offers three main tiers that determine pricing and perks: Classic, Platinum, and VIP. All accounts operate on the same platforms, but higher tiers unlock dedicated support, exclusive events, and lower spreads.

Saxo Bank
