Exness and Vantage both pay the rebate daily and straight into the trading account, but they differ
clearly in their licensing and in how their account types are structured.
The two profiles
| Criterion | Exness | Vantage |
|---|---|---|
| Published licences | CySEC · 178/12FCA · 730729FSA · SD025 |
VFSC · 700271FSCA · 51268FCA · 590299ASIC |
| Rebate payment cycle | Daily | Daily |
| Where the rebate goes | The trading account | The trading account |
| Minimum deposit | From $10 | $50 |
| Account types | 5 | 5 |
The biggest difference: the regulators
Vantage publishes four licences including the FCA and ASIC — two of the strictest regulators. Exness
publishes three, including the FCA and CySEC.
But this needs saying plainly: the number of licences is not a measure of anything. What
matters is which licence applies to your account — and for clients in Vietnam, both brokers serve
through international entities rather than the FCA- or ASIC-regulated ones.
How to check: open the client agreement, find the legal entity name at the top, and look
that entity’s licence number up on the regulator’s own
register.
Rebate by product
| Product | Exness Standard & Cent |
Vantage Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Gold (XAU/USD) | $10.41 | $11.30 |
| EUR/USD | $3.20 | $6.12 |
| GBP/USD | $3.99 | $6.12 |
| USD/JPY | $2.59 | $7.02 |
| AUD/USD | $3.60 | $6.91 |
| USD/CAD | $4.04 | $6.07 |
US dollars per round-turn lot.
Vantage pays more on every product
The largest gap is EUR/USD: $6.12 against $3.20 per lot. But the same principle applies: Vantage Standard
STP starts from 1.0 pips, Exness Standard from 0.2.
The calculation with assumed real spreads — Vantage 1.4 pips, Exness 1.0 pips:
- Vantage Standard: 1.4 × 10 = $14, less $6.12 → $7.88 net
- Exness Standard: 1.0 × 10 = $10, less $3.20 → $6.80 net
The entry thresholds
- Exness — from $10 on three general account types, but $1,000 for Raw Spread and
Zero. - Vantage — $50 for both Standard STP and RAW ECN.
Worth noting: Vantage opens an ECN account at $50 where Exness asks $1,000. If you want raw spreads
without large capital, that is a substantive difference.
What they share
Both pay the rebate daily, credited straight to the trading account, with no intermediary
wallet and no minimum volume. For anyone tracking cost, a daily cycle is far easier to reconcile than a
monthly one.
