Pros and cons
Pros
- You can open an account from a minimum deposit of $5, which sits low among the brokers compared.
- Moving money in and out costs commission-free deposits and withdrawals, so funding the account is not where fees bite.
- One account spans stocks, etfs and forex, and MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5 and Axi Trading Platform give you desktop choices.
- The legal entity is Solaris EMEA Ltd, a named company behind the brand.
Cons
- An inactivity charge of $10 applies, so an account left alone still costs money.
- Help runs through help centre, so getting a person on the phone or by email is not part of the package.
- 67.24% of retail accounts lost money, which puts the brand in line with the wider broker field.
Who it suits
- Traders who start with a small sum and want shares, ETFs, forex, CFDs and crypto in one account
- Anyone who prefers MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5 and Axi Trading Platform to a web-only platform
- People who plan to move money regularly and want commission-free deposits and withdrawals
Who should look elsewhere
- Long-term investors who want a pension or ISA wrapper, since none is listed
- Traders who need phone or email support, as help runs on help centre only
- Anyone leaving a balance untouched, because the inactivity charge is $10
Fees and currency costs
Axi keeps the entry cost low. The minimum deposit is $5, and deposits and withdrawals are commission-free deposits and withdrawals, so moving cash on and off the account costs nothing. The one charge to watch is the inactivity fee of $10, which applies when the account sits unused. On currency costs, the published spreads and trading charges are not broken out in the details here, so weigh them against the platforms you would use.
Where it sits among rivals
On minimum deposit, Axi ranks at position 94 out of 218 brands compared, which places a low barrier to entry against the field. On inactivity fees the ranking is different: position 35 out of 56 brands compared. In short, cheap to open, less cheap to leave dormant, and well placed for small starting balances.

Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum deposit at Axi?+
The minimum deposit is $5 to open an account. That places Axi at position 94 out of 218 brands compared on this measure, so the entry point is among the lower ones in the group.
Does Axi charge to deposit or withdraw money?+
No. Deposits and withdrawals are commission-free deposits and withdrawals, so you can fund the account and take money out without a separate charge. Currency conversion costs on any transfer still depend on the rates you use.
Is there an inactivity fee?+
Yes. The inactivity fee is $10 on an account that goes unused. That puts Axi at position 35 out of 56 brands compared on inactivity fees, so it sits above the cheapest on this measure.
Which markets can I trade on Axi?+
One account covers stocks, etfs and forex. You can hold shares and ETFs alongside forex, CFDs and crypto, rather than opening separate accounts for each market type.
Which platforms and apps does Axi offer?+
You can choose MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5 and Axi Trading Platform, and a mobile app is available for trading on the move. That gives you both established charting platforms and the broker's own interface.
How do I get help from Axi?+
Support runs on help centre, so you have a written reference point rather than phone or email contact. Worth knowing if you prefer to talk a position through with a person.
How much do retail traders lose on Axi?+
The published figure is 67.24% of retail accounts losing money. Leveraged trading carries the risk, and retail accounts that lose money sit in the majority across the broker field.
Who is behind Axi?+
The legal entity is Solaris EMEA Ltd, the company named on the brand's own site. Axi has been operating since 2007, so the brand is established rather than new to the market.
