Equiti review summary

Equiti Group is a genuinely MENA-headquartered brokerage founded in 2008 by Iraqi-Jordanian financiers, with operational HQs in Dubai (DFSA) and Amman (JSC). Unlike Cyprus brokers with MENA marketing, Equiti is a regional native — its decision-making, technology team, and customer support all sit within the MENA + Levant region.

The DFSA + FCA + JSC + CMA Kenya regulatory structure is uniquely suited to MENA-Africa traders: a single broker with regulated entities across the UAE, UK, Jordan, Kenya, Mauritius, and Seychelles. Local payment methods, Arabic platforms, Islamic accounts, and regional business-hours support are first-class features rather than afterthoughts.

The trade-off is scale: Equiti is smaller than the global Cyprus giants, and the $500 minimum deposit on the Premier account is higher than mass-market peers.

Where to trade

Equiti is the strongest choice for MENA-resident traders who specifically want a regional brokerage rather than a Cyprus-based broker with MENA marketing. Compare cost-per-trade with HF Markets and Exness before choosing.
