Forex and CFD trading with Basic, Standard and ProZero accounts.

ACY Securities logo

Overview

ACY Securities offers forex and CFD trading across currencies, indices, metals, commodities, shares, ETFs and cryptocurrencies. Its official history dates ACY Capital's founding to 2013 and the Sydney headquarters move to 2014. The group's 2011 heritage refers to Synergy Financial Markets, acquired by ACY in 2018; some group marketing therefore uses 2011. The founding year shown here follows ACY's own history timeline. The current international account comparison lists Basic, Standard and ProZero. Opening deposits are USD 50, USD 100 and USD 200 respectively. Basic and Standard use variable spreads with zero account-level commission on the published forex, metals, indices and crypto schedule. ProZero advertises spreads from 0.0 pips and commission from USD 3 per lot per side. Other product fees, account currencies and regional pricing may differ; confirm the applicable commission schedule before trading. Bespoke terms are available by enquiry rather than a fully specified public account tier. ACY advertises leverage up to 1:5000 specifically through the ACY Trading Platform. The MT4/MT5 comparison describes leverage up to 1:500. These international limits are not Australian retail terms and depend on instrument, eligibility and jurisdiction. All three accounts list a 0.01-lot minimum trade. The Help Centre states a 100% margin-call level and 30% stop-out for non-Australian accounts, with 50% stop-out for Australian accounts. Instrument-specific trade sizes can differ, particularly for shares and ETFs. MT4, MT5 and the ACY Trading Platform are the verified platform choices, with web and mobile access. ACY describes its execution model as STP. EAs, automated trading, scalping and hedging are supported. Standard is advertised with a swap-free option, while Basic's detailed page says no swap-free account. Confirm swap-free eligibility and charges for the specific entity and account; ProZero eligibility is not established here. Client protections, including any negative-balance treatment, depend on the applicable agreement. ACY Securities Pty Ltd holds Australian AFSL 403863. ACY Securities SA Pty Ltd publishes South African FSCA number 51008. ACY Capital LLC is incorporated in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines under company number 2610 LLC 2022; incorporation is not a forex brokerage licence. The Saint Vincent registration has therefore been excluded from the regulatory-licence table. Check which entity contracts with you; an Australian group licence does not automatically cover an international account. Funding options include bank transfers, credit/debit cards and supported online payment systems, with crypto options advertised separately. ACY states it charges no deposit fee, although banks and merchants may charge. Up to five withdrawals per calendar month are fee-free under the published policy; subsequent withdrawals cost 25 in account currency. Requests received before 21:00 AEST are stated to be processed the same day, with later requests processed the next business day; provider transit takes additional time. Method-specific limits and availability should be checked in the client portal. ACY advertises 24/5 support and provides live chat, email and phone contact. ACY Partners offers affiliate, Introducing Broker and managed-account partnerships. Leveraged CFDs carry a high risk of loss.
