XTB Review 2026: Belarus Trader's Complete Guide

Founded in 2002 and headquartered in Warsaw, XTB has grown into one of Europe's largest retail forex and CFD brokers, listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange. With more than 1 million clients worldwide and a presence in Poland, Cyprus and the United Kingdom, XTB is particularly relevant for Belarusian traders because of its geographical proximity and strong ties to the Central and Eastern European market. Belarusian clients can open an account remotely using their national ID or passport, and XTB's minimum deposit of $0 makes it easy to start with a small amount. The broker focuses exclusively on retail forex trading and CFDs, offering over 4,500 instruments spanning currency pairs, indices, commodities, shares and cryptocurrencies. For Belarus traders, this means access to global markets from a single platform, with funding options that include traditional bank transfers, the e-wallet Skrill, and even USDT for those who prefer to transact in stablecoins. XTB's own xStation 5 platform is fast, intuitive and well-optimized for a stable internet connection, which is an important practical advantage in Belarus. While XTB does not hold a local license from the National Bank of the Republic of Belarus, it operates under several respected European regulators, which gives the broker a solid reputation among local traders. This review explores every aspect of XTB that matters from Minsk to Gomel — from regulation and spreads to deposits, platforms and support.

XTB does not offer Islamic accounts. According to official policy, the broker does not provide swap-free trading, which means that Belarusian Muslim traders who follow Sharia principles will need to consider another broker or accept the swap/rollover fee charged on overnight positions. On some instruments, such as forex pairs and commodities, the swap can be significant, especially if positions are held for weeks or months. XTB also does not offer any alternative like a commission-based swap-free account. Therefore, if an Islamic account is a must-have condition, we recommend looking at brokers that explicitly offer genuine swap-free accounts with no hidden fees. For short-term traders from Belarus, the absence of an Islamic account is not a major issue because swaps only apply when positions are held overnight, but for swing traders and long-term investors it is an important drawback.
