It is a long-running, multi-licensed broker. The protection that applies to you, including any investor compensation scheme, depends on the entity you register under, so it is worth checking which one your account sits with.

| ASIC | Australia | 427848 |
| CySEC | Cyprus | 350/17 |

Before you fund an account, check which of these entities you are contracting with in your client agreement, because that decides which rules and protections apply to you.
Spreads, Commissions & Fees
AUS Global charges in one of two ways, depending on the account. The STP and CLASSIC accounts are spread-based, with the cost built into the spread and no separate commission. The ECN account uses tighter raw spreads plus a commission per lot, and the VIP account is the premium tier with the tightest pricing. To compare them, add the spread and the commission together for what you actually trade.
Advantages
- Spread-only STP and CLASSIC are simple, with no commission to track
- ECN gives tighter raw spreads for active traders
- Low $50 entry on most accounts
Disadvantages
- ECN adds a commission on top of the spread
- Live spreads are not published in an easy-to-find table
- The VIP tier needs a $10,000 balance
Deposits & Withdrawals
AUS Global supports common funding methods, typically bank cards, wire transfer, and online payment options, with a $50 minimum on most accounts. Methods, limits and processing times vary by region and the entity you register under, so check the options in your client portal.
Advantages
- Low $50 entry on most accounts
- Standard cards, wire and online options
- Same methods across the account range
Disadvantages
- Withdrawal fees and limits depend on the method
- Processing times vary by region and entity
Leverage & Instruments
Leverage reaches up to 1:500 across the accounts. As with most brokers, the top figure applies mainly to major forex pairs; more volatile markets such as indices, metals and cryptocurrencies carry lower caps, so do not assume 1:500 on everything.
On the instrument side, AUS Global is multi-asset, covering the main markets traded as CFDs:
| Asset class | What you can trade |
|---|---|
| Forex | Major, minor and exotic currency pairs |
| Metals | Gold, silver and other metals |
| Energies & commodities | Crude oil and more |
| Indices | Major global stock indices |
| Share CFDs | CFDs on global stocks |
| Cryptocurrencies | Popular crypto pairs |
Advantages
- Multi-asset range across forex, metals, indices and more
- High leverage available for traders who want it
- Stocks are available as CFDs
Disadvantages
- Leverage up to 1:500 amplifies losses as much as gains
- Leverage caps are lower on volatile markets
- Stocks are CFDs, so you do not own the underlying share
Trading Platforms
AUS Global runs on the industry-standard platforms rather than a single proprietary terminal, so your existing tools carry over.
MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5
The default choice for most traders, available for desktop, web and mobile. Your existing EAs and chart setups transfer across, and both run on every account.

- Choice of MT4, MT5 and cTrader
- EAs and chart setups carry over
- Copy trading available for hands-off traders
Disadvantages
- No proprietary desktop platform of its own
- Some features depend on the platform you pick
