PU Prime review summary
PU Prime is a forex and CFD broker founded in 2015 and headquartered in Port Louis, Mauritius, known for a strong mobile-first experience and aggressive low-cost pricing. Formerly trading under the PuPrime banner, the broker has grown a sizeable retail client base across Asia, Africa and Latin America by combining a low $50 minimum deposit with raw spreads from 0.0 pips and leverage of up to 1:1000.
Two features genuinely stand out. First, the PU Prime mobile app is consistently well rated and is clearly the product the firm invests in most — a real advantage for traders who manage positions on the go. Second, the cost structure is competitive: raw ECN-style pricing keeps the spread component low, and frequent deposit bonuses (available only to non-EU clients) sweeten the offer. Regulation sits with the FSA in Seychelles and the FSCA in South Africa, which is solid offshore oversight rather than tier-1 protection.
PU Prime account types
| Account | Min. deposit | Spreads | Commission | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | $50 | From 1.3 pips | None | Beginners and casual traders |
| Prime / Raw ECN | $1,000 | From 0.0 pips | ~$3.50/lot/side | Scalpers and active traders |
| Islamic (swap-free) | $50 | Standard or Raw pricing | No swaps | Sharia-compliant accounts |
PU Prime spreads on the Standard account are all-in (no commission), while the Prime account trades a higher minimum deposit for tighter raw pricing plus a round-turn commission.
Regulation & safety
PU Prime operates under the regulators listed in its profile:
- FSA Seychelles — Financial Services Authority licensing for the main international entity
- FSCA (South Africa) — Financial Sector Conduct Authority oversight for its South African operation
This is an offshore-led structure, which is what permits the high 1:1000 leverage and the deposit bonuses you would not see under EU rules. The trade-off is weaker recourse: there is no ESMA-style 1:30 retail leverage cap and no large statutory compensation fund. Established offshore brokers still segregate client money from operational funds; confirm PU Prime’s current segregation arrangements and read the bonus terms carefully, since promotional credit often carries trading-volume conditions before withdrawal. Verify any licence number directly on the regulator’s website.
Who PU Prime is best for
- Mobile-first traders who want a genuinely strong trading app
- High-leverage traders comfortable with offshore regulation in exchange for 1:1000
- Cost-sensitive scalpers wanting raw 0.0-pip spreads from a low entry point
- Bonus hunters (non-EU) who understand and accept the promotional terms
Who should look elsewhere
- EU and UK traders who need tier-1 safeguards should look at Pepperstone or IC Markets instead
- Traders who distrust bonus models may prefer the straightforward, instant-withdrawal proposition of Exness
- Beginners wanting deep education are better matched to XM

Bottom line
PU Prime scores 4.3/5. It is a polished, mobile-led offshore broker with competitive raw pricing, high leverage and an app that punches above its weight. The honest verdict: it is a strong pick for self-directed, mobile-first traders who value low costs and accept offshore oversight — but anyone who needs tier-1 EU or UK protection, or who dislikes bonus-linked conditions, should compare alternatives first. Always confirm the entity and licence that applies to your country before depositing.
