MultiBank Review 2025

MultiBank offers a solid range of forex and CFD trading services, making it an average choice for traders. With an overall rating that indicates satisfactory performance, it provides a reliable trading experience but may lack some advanced features found in other brokers.

HFM Review 2025

Xtrade Review 2025

Founded in 2006, Xtrade is a trusted forex broker that holds multiple regulatory licenses from Tier-1 jurisdictions, boosting its overall Trust Score rating. Though Xtrade offers a proprietary platform, the MetaTrader platform suite is unavailable, and with less than 200 available symbols it just can't compete with the best forex brokers.

VT Markets Review 2025

Though the broker continues to evolve, there are fewer markets to trade than what is available at the best brokers, and its research and educational materials are limited.
