AvaTrade vs IC Markets for residents of Egypt

This is a filter, not a ranking or a recommendation: lists are ordered by regulatory profile, then alphabetically. We have not verified that any broker shown accepts residents of Egypt.

In Egypt the Financial Regulatory Authority (FRA) supervises non-bank financial services and the Central Bank of Egypt sets banking and currency rules. Check the company that signs your agreement in its own regulator’s register, and ask the broker how an Egyptian client can fund and withdraw.
