Independent Exness partner guide

Exness account types: Standard, Cent, Pro, Raw Spread, Zero

Five account types in two families. Standard and Standard Cent run on spread-only pricing and have no minimum deposit; Pro, Raw Spread, and Zero are the professional tier, with a higher minimum set by region. The table below compares all five — and the glossary underneath decodes every term it uses.

Account types compared

All five Exness account types in one table

Every trading account is opened inside the Personal Area for a specific platform — MT4 or MT5 — and its type fixes the pricing model. The real difference between the five is how the broker’s charge is taken: inside the spread, or as a separate commission per lot.

Account	Pricing model	Minimum deposit	Typical use
Standard	Spread-only — the charge sits inside the spread, no commission. The default account.	No minimum	A first live account and everyday trading
Standard Cent	Spread-only; balances and volumes are counted in cents	No minimum	Very small real-money volumes
Pro	Professional, commission-free	Higher — set by region, shown on the official Exness website	Professional terms without a per-lot commission
Raw Spread	Raw pricing plus a commission per lot	Higher — set by region, shown on the official Exness website	Scalping and strategies that track spread and commission separately
Zero	Zero spread on selected top instruments for much of the trading day, plus a commission	Higher — set by region, shown on the official Exness website	Spread-sensitive trading on the covered instruments

Glossary. Spread — the small gap between the buy and sell price; on spread-only accounts it is the broker’s charge. Commission — a separate fixed fee per lot, used on Raw Spread and Zero accounts instead of a wider spread. A lot is a standard trade size. On Cent accounts, balances are counted in cents of the account currency, so very small real trades are possible. Swap — the overnight-holding fee applied when a position stays open past the end of the trading day; swap-free versions of the accounts, with no overnight-holding fee, exist for qualifying instruments.

Choosing by scenario

Which Exness account type fits which job

The account type sets the pricing mechanics — not the results. Four common starting points:

A first live account

Standard is the default: spread-only pricing means one number to watch per trade, and there is no minimum deposit. Most walkthroughs on this site assume a Standard account.

Micro-volumes in real money

Standard Cent counts balances in cents of the account currency, so real trades far smaller than a standard lot are possible. It is the usual step between a demo and a full-size account.

Commission-free professional terms

Pro keeps the whole charge inside the spread — no per-lot commission — on the professional tier, with the higher regional minimum deposit that tier carries.

Scalping and raw pricing

Raw Spread and Zero split the cost in two: a raw or zero spread plus a commission per lot. Scalping — opening and closing trades within minutes — usually needs exactly that: a spread component that is visible and priced separately.

Costs per instrument — required margin, the value of one price step, spread cost, swap — can be checked in the trading calculator before any trade.

From type to trading

Accounts are opened in the Personal Area — one per platform

Registration creates the Personal Area — email and a short questionnaire; identity verification follows inside. This happens on the official exness.com only, never on this site. Registration walkthrough →
Open a trading account inside

The account type and the platform — MT4 or MT5 — are both chosen when the trading account is created, and the account then works only on that platform. The platform matrix compares the four ways to run it.
Fund it — or start on demo

Standard and Standard Cent accept any starting amount; the professional accounts show their regional minimum in the Personal Area. A demo account with virtual funds is available before any deposit, on all four platforms.

Leverage is set per account

Leverage — trading with more money than the deposit behind it — multiplies losses exactly as it multiplies gains. Each trading account carries its own leverage setting, changed in the Personal Area; the maximum available leverage depends on the instrument, the region, and the funds in the account.

Swap-free versions

Swap-free versions of the accounts exist for qualifying instruments: the overnight-holding fee is not charged on positions in those instruments. Which instruments qualify is shown on the official Exness website.

Trading is risky and may not be suitable for everyone.

Quick answers

Exness account types — frequently asked questions

Which Exness account type is the default?

Standard. It uses spread-only pricing — the whole charge sits inside the spread — and has no minimum deposit. The other four exist for specific pricing needs: cent-denominated balances, commission-free professional terms, or raw and zero spreads with a commission per lot.

What is the minimum deposit for each account type?

Standard and Standard Cent have no minimum deposit. The professional accounts — Pro, Raw Spread, and Zero — have a higher minimum that depends on the region; the current amount is shown on the official Exness website and in the Personal Area.

What is the difference between Raw Spread and Zero?

Both are professional accounts that charge a commission per lot. Raw Spread quotes raw market pricing on every instrument, with the commission on top. Zero holds the spread at zero on selected top instruments for much of the trading day; outside those instruments and hours, a spread applies as usual.

Do Exness accounts have swap-free versions?

Yes. Swap — the overnight-holding fee charged when a position stays open past the end of the trading day — is not applied on swap-free versions, which exist for qualifying instruments. The qualifying list is published on the official Exness website.

Can the account type be changed after opening?

The type is fixed per trading account, but a new trading account of another type can be opened in the Personal Area and used alongside the existing one. Each trading account is also created for a specific platform — MT4 or MT5 — so the platform choice is made at the same step.

One registration covers all five

Creating the Personal Area takes a few minutes on the official Exness website — email and a short questionnaire, with identity verification inside. After that, any of the five account types on this page can be opened in it, each for its platform. Full registration walkthrough →
