Exness and regulation: Building trust through local oversight
Exness’ journey began over 16 years ago, meaning we’ve been in this industry long enough to know what traders value most. We like to emphasize our technology, trading conditions, and the trader experience—and yes, these elements matter—we’ve built our reputation on them. But they only carry real weight when they are built on a foundation of trust, financial security, and regulation.
This is why regulation is central to our operational approach. It sets the standard for how we treat our clients and how we build long-term relationships. For traders, this translates into stability and predictability, the key values behind the trading conditions we’ve always offered.
How it works in practice
When traders choose Exness, they’re putting their trust in us to handle their funds fairly and securely. Local oversight gives meaning to this trust. It means rules are in place to protect funds, we’re held accountable for how we operate, and traders can feel confident their orders are executed fairly without needing to question our integrity.
At Exness, we turn these rules into real protections for our traders, making them part of how you experience our platform, your trades, and transactions. From seamless withdrawals to Negative Balance Protection, and swap-free trading on popular instruments, we’ve introduced safeguards to reduce risk and maximize transparency, while giving traders greater control. The result is a higher standard of safety that benefits our traders everywhere, not just in one jurisdiction.
Where are we licensed today?
Our focus on being regulated in the regions where our clients trade has built a regulatory footprint that spans multiple key jurisdictions. Today, Exness’ retail business is regulated across Africa, Asia, and the Middle East.
In each of these regions, we operate under licenses that reflect the standards of local authorities who hold us accountable to the rules that matter most to traders. This approach has allowed us to gain our traders’ trust, market by market, while keeping compliance at the center of everything we do. For the full list of our licenses, check our regulation page.
Exness' latest operating license has been granted by the Jordan Securities Commission (JSC), further reflecting our commitment to Jordan and the wider MENA region. Although each regulatory framework reflects different jurisdictions, they all point to the same principle: ensuring trust and reliability for traders in every market we serve.
Regulation and the Exness ethos
Securing a license is no simple task. It involves significant investment in compliance and the willingness to undergo ongoing scrutiny and supervision. But, for us, that’s the clearest way of showing traders that we’re serious about being part of their market, and that our commitment is long-term.
Our business is built on transparency, stability, and fairness. These values are reflected in how we design our pricing, handle execution, and support our traders when markets turn volatile. Regulation reinforces these values while holding us accountable and aligned with the high standards our traders expect.
We don’t see regulation as a constraint. In fact, regulation is the framework that allowed Exness to grow sustainably and responsibly. We’ve gone from strength to strength thanks to the environment provided by strong local oversight, and working with our regulators to refine our operations, strengthen our compliance, and build trading conditions that we can stand behind.
A future shaped by trust and transparency
As the financial industry continues to evolve, local regulation only becomes more important. For traders, it provides reassurance and clarity. For brokers, it demonstrates responsibility and staying power.
Every new license we secure is a commitment to maintaining reliability, transparency, and fairness. We’ve chosen this path from inception because we know that trust is earned through actions, not words. As we continue to expand into new regions, compliance with local regulations will remain the standard by which we measure ourselves, and the clearest way for traders to experience what Exness stands for.
