Why a Saudi-specific FxPro guide
Most broker reviews are written for nobody in particular. Opening and funding an account from the Kingdom raises its own questions: which regulator is responsible, whether a swap-free account really has no charges, how a riyal transfer from a Saudi bank reaches a dollar account, and what time London opens in Riyadh. We answer those for one broker, FxPro, in detail, and we compare it with IC Markets and Pepperstone where that helps.
We are an FxPro introducing broker. If you open an account through our sign-up link, FxPro may pay us a commission; you pay no extra fee to us. How we research and check each guide is on our About page.
Where to start

- Looking for market commentary? It will appear under Insights.
- Reading Arabic? The same guides are written for Arabic readers under العربية.
Three things that are different in Saudi Arabia
- Regulation. FxPro is not licensed by the Capital Market Authority. Your account sits with an overseas FxPro company, and Saudi authorities have repeatedly warned against unlicensed forex providers.
- Currency. FxPro has no riyal accounts. Because the riyal is pegged at 3.75 per dollar, conversion is predictable, but your bank’s margin and transfer fees still apply.
- Swap-free. FxPro offers swap-free accounts on request, and says fees may apply once some positions stay open for a set number of days.
