Equiti at a glance
Equiti is a global multi-asset execution-only broker offering forex, indices, commodities, shares, ETFs, futures and cryptocurrency CFDs through MT4, MT5 and Equiti's proprietary trading technology.
Equiti reports a founding year of 2008 and a head office in London, UK. It lists 5 regulators and 4 trading platforms.
BrokerBazaar verdict
Equiti has a substantially stronger regulatory structure than an offshore-only broker. Its current group footprint includes FCA, CySEC, UAE CMA, Jordan JSC, Kenya CMA, Seychelles FSA and Central Bank of Armenia-regulated entities. The existence of multiple local entities is a positive factor because it provides jurisdiction-specific regulatory oversight.
Legal entities, regulation and licences
Equiti operates through 7 legal entities, each supervised separately. Your account is with one specific entity, so the protections you receive depend on which one onboards you, not on the group's strongest licence. Overall, the group is supervised by no regulator we could map to a public register.
Licence check: Not independently checked. This broker has submitted its details. BrokerBazaar has not yet independently checked them. A company registration or general business licence is not permission to offer regulated brokerage services; only the register entries linked in the table count.
Countries accepted and restricted
Equiti states that it accepts clients from UK, Jordan, Kenya, UAE. Availability is decided per entity and can change without notice; residents of jurisdictions such as the USA, and often the EU and UK, are frequently excluded from offshore entities.

Who this broker suits, and who it does not
Equiti is most relevant to traders looking for: MENA Region, Regulated, MetaTrader.
It is less suitable for anyone who needs a strict-tier regulator in their own country of residence, for residents of restricted jurisdictions, and for beginners who have not yet understood leverage and margin. Nothing on this page is personal financial advice.
