Our new market leading spreads

At Rakuten Securities Australia, we are always working hard to improve the trading experience for our clients. This is why we are very excited to announce our market leading spreads taking effect at the open of FX markets on Monday 06/11/2017. We will offer tight spreads with no commission across all of our FX pairs. For example, the spread on EUR/USD will be fixed at 0.5 pips for 95% of the time. Our competitors advertise tight spreads but hide the commission they charge you on top. The total cost actually averages 0.6-2 pips on the EUR/USD at competing brokers. We believe in transparency. No hidden commission, fixed for 95% of the time. Simple.

The Return of Gold and Silver We are also excited to announce that we will be adding Gold (XAUUSD) and Silver (XAGUSD) to our MT4 platform. We will be applying the same ultra-tight, semi fixed spreads to Gold and Silver as we will for the FX pairs.
