Our Verdict

Plus500 is assessed here on its regulatory licences, published trading costs, platform range and account terms. Its licences from FCA, CySEC, ASIC are the primary safeguard for client funds — check each licence number on the regulator's own register before depositing.

Plus500 advertises execution of 40ms and offers Plus500 Web. That execution figure is the broker's own published claim, not a speed we have measured — real fills vary with account type, session liquidity and news conditions.
