EasyMarkets vs FxPro for Zimbabwe Traders (2026)

For Zimbabwe traders, trading costs are heavily impacted by spreads and commissions, especially when converting between USD and local currency. FxPro offers lower variable spreads on major pairs (EUR/USD from 0.6 pips on Raw Spread) with a small commission, while EasyMarkets uses fixed spreads averaging 1.2 pips on EUR/USD without commission. Over a month of active trading, FxPro can reduce total costs by up to 30% for typical retail volumes. However, EasyMarkets’ fixed spreads provide certainty, useful for Zimbabwe traders who prefer to avoid spread widening during news events. Both brokers charge no deposit fees, but currency conversion fees may apply if depositing in non-USD.

EasyMarkets offers a proprietary web-based platform and mobile app with a clean interface, one-click trading, and built-in risk management tools like deal cancellation. FxPro provides MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, cTrader, and its own FxPro Edge platform, catering to both beginner and advanced Zimbabwe traders. For traders in Zimbabwe who may experience internet latency, cTrader’s advanced charting and algorithmic trading capabilities perform well. FxPro also supports Expert Advisors (EAs) via MT4/5, while EasyMarkets lacks full EA support. Overall, FxPro wins on platform variety.

FxPro boasts high execution speed with no requotes on most orders, leveraging market execution and deep liquidity from multiple banks. EasyMarkets uses a dealing desk (market maker) model, which can lead to occasional requotes or slippage during volatile periods. For Zimbabwe traders operating in USD, execution quality directly impacts profitability. FxPro’s systematic execution is generally superior, especially for scalpers and day traders. EasyMarkets provides positive slippage protection on certain instruments.

EasyMarkets is regulated by CySEC (Cyprus), ASIC (Australia), and the FSCA (South Africa). FxPro holds licences from the FCA (UK), CySEC, SCB (Bahamas), and FSCA. Neither broker is directly regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission of Zimbabwe (SECZ). For Zimbabwe traders, this means limited local recourse in case of disputes. However, FxPro’s FCA regulation offers strong investor protection (up to £85,000 under FSCS). EasyMarkets’ ASIC licence also provides a solid safety net. We recommend traders verify with the local financial regulator about any restrictions on using offshore brokers.

Zimbabwe traders can fund accounts using Bank Transfer, Skrill, Neteller, and USDT TRC20 at both brokers. EasyMarkets requires a lower minimum deposit ($25) compared to FxPro ($100). USDT TRC20 is particularly beneficial for faster transfers, bypassing slow traditional bank wires. Withdrawals are processed within 1-2 business days for e-wallets and cryptocurrencies, while bank transfers take 3-5 days. Neither broker charges internal fees, but Zimbabwe banks may levy incoming wire fees. Ensure your broker account is in USD to avoid conversion losses when withdrawing to local Zim bonds. Both brokers accept Zimbabwe-issued bank cards (Visa/Mastercard) where supported.

Both EasyMarkets and FxPro offer swap-free Islamic accounts compliant with Sharia law for Muslim Zimbabwe traders. EasyMarkets provides Islamic accounts on all account types with no swap fees for unlimited holding periods. FxPro offers Islamic accounts on Standard and Raw Spread accounts, but some instruments (like commodities) may incur swaps after a certain period. Zimbabwe Muslim traders should request the Islamic account during registration and confirm the terms with customer support. FxPro’s policy is slightly more restrictive, so EasyMarkets may be a better choice for long-term position holders.

EasyMarkets offers 24/5 live chat, email, and phone support in multiple languages, including English. FxPro provides 24/5 support via live chat, phone, and email, with a dedicated Arabic line. For Zimbabwe traders, live chat responsiveness is crucial during African trading hours (9:00–17:00 CAT). Both brokers respond within minutes. FxPro additionally has a comprehensive FAQ section and local phone numbers for some African countries. Neither has a dedicated Zimbabwe line, but English support is adequate.
