Exness vs FBS for residents of Saudi Arabia

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 Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia’s financial authorities are the Capital Market Authority (CMA) and the Saudi Central Bank (SAMA). Check the company that signs your agreement against their lists of licensed entities, and ask your bank and the broker which funding routes work for Saudi residents, because SAMA also sets rules on how banks handle transfers to foreign financial firms.

Before you choose

Ask the broker which company would hold your account, whether it has any contract with a licensed Saudi bank or exchanger, and which funding routes it supports for Saudi residents. Get the answers in writing before you transfer money. We have not checked whether either one accepts residents of Saudi Arabia.
