About Us

From our humble beginnings two decades ago, our vision has always been to bring a range of different asset classes together and make them accessible to as many people as possible. This is the ActivTrades way.

Democratising markets, educating the public in financial literacy, and offering the ability to trade the world's markets in an affordable and accessible way. We believe that trading is an activity that should be open to all and our mission is to level the playing field.

Excellence Across Markets

Since 2001, ActivTrades has been a pioneer in online trading. Initially we gained expertise in making FX markets available to retail traders, over the years we have expanded to include commodities, shares, indices, crypto, ETFs and bonds.

Today, ActivTrades prides itself on being a true multi-asset brokerage with unbeatable trading conditions and a range of value added tools and services for its clients.
