Can someone trade on my behalf?
FXPesa is an execution-only broker. That means we do not trade on behalf of our clients nor do we recommend anyone to trade on the behalf of our clients.
Can I change my existing account type or currency?
Once an account type & currency is set, it’s not possible to change these details to ensure we stay compliant to local regulators. We do allow up to three trading accounts under any one portal, so we recommend you open a second (or third – at the max) account with a new account type and currency.

The Welcome Bonus offers 30% extra on your first deposit, when you deposit a minimum of $100 into your MT5 trading account.

When will the bonus be credited to my account?
The bonus will be credited within 30 minutes to a maximum of 1 business day after your first deposit is made.
Can I use the bonus to cover trading losses?

Can I withdraw the bonus funds?
No, the bonus is not realisable and cannot be withdrawn. It will be removed if you withdraw or transfer out any funds, or if your own funds fall to 5% or less of your total equity.
