What Type of Broker is Exness?
Exness is a leading forex broker founded in 2008 in St. Petersburg, Russia. The company is based in Cyprus and is regulated by the FCA of the UK, CYSEC of Cyprus, FSCA of South Africa and FSA of Seychelles.

Exness is a Market Making (MM) broker, which means that it acts as a counterparty to its clients in trading operations. That is, instead of connecting directly to the market, Exness acts as an intermediary and takes the opposite position to its clients. As such, it can offer faster order execution speed, tighter spreads and greater flexibility in terms of offering leverage.

However, this also means that Exness has a certain conflict of interest with their clients, as their profits come from the difference between the bid and ask price of assets, which could lead to them making decisions that are not necessarily in the best interest of their clients.

However, Exness‘ historic price data is made available on the company’s website so clients can check if spreads and execution times across the brokers offering match their expectations, or even compare quotes with external data sources.
