The broker TradingPro was founded in 2014/2017 (various sources) and has headquarters/registration in South Africa (Westville, Kwa-Zulu Natal) and Mauritius (Ebene, Cybercity). TradingPro positions itself as a global multi-asset broker offering competitive trading conditions and advanced platforms and has achieved recognition through industry awards.
🏦 Headquarters: Westville, Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa & Ebene, Mauritius
📅 Founded: 2014 (entity in South Africa) / 2017 (broader trading brand)
📜 Regulation: FSCA (South Africa) – FSP No. 49624; FSC Mauritius – Licence GB23202513
🏦 Supported Countries: Global reach (claiming “over 800,000 active traders and 64,000 partners”)
💻 Platforms: MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, Web/Mobile trading terminal
💵 Min Deposit: From US$1 in some account types (per official site)
TradingPro began as a financial services provider registered in South Africa, then expanded its offering through a Mauritius-licensed entity to service global clients. The mission emphasises delivering high performance trading technology, tight trading costs, and global accessibility. Over time the broker has grown its client base significantly (claiming 800,000+ active traders) and has received multiple industry awards (e.g., “Best Retail Forex Broker 2025” at the Dubai Forex Traders Summit). In the global trading landscape, TradingPro competes by offering high leverage, swap-free accounts, multi-platform support, and a wide range of asset classes.
TradingPro offers very high leverage (up to 1 : 2000) which many competitors restrict more conservatively.
The minimum deposit can be as low as US$1 in some cases, which is lower than many brokers requiring US$100+ deposits.
The regulatory footprint (FSCA + Mauritius) is adequate but lags behind some brokers that hold Tier-1 licences (e.g., FCA, ASIC).
Platform variety and instruments are broad; however, some competitors might provide more advanced research tools or stricter regulation.
TradingPro is regulated under the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) in South Africa (FSP No. 49624) and under the Financial Services Commission (FSC) in Mauritius (Licence GB23202513). These jurisdictions are credible but are considered Tier-2 rather than the top-tier regulatory regimes (Tier-1 such as UK FCA, Australian ASIC). This implies that while there is regulation and oversight, client protections may not be as strong as those in the most stringent jurisdictions (for example, deposit guarantee schemes). Traders should therefore assess risk accordingly and ensure they are comfortable with the regulatory environment.
FSCA (South Africa) – License No. FSP 49624
FSC (Mauritius) – Licence No. GB23202513
Client Fund Protection: TradingPro claims fast withdrawals (within 24 hours) and prioritises securing client funds.
Compensation Schemes: There is no clear public indication on a statutory compensation scheme equivalent to, for example, the UK’s FSCS for retail clients; traders may have less protection than with a Tier-1 regulator.
Negative Balance Protection: The website mentions swap-free accounts and advanced risk management tools, but explicit mention of negative-balance protection is limited. Users should ask directly.
Data Security & Encryption: The broker states it “prioritises your privacy by encrypting and safeguarding all client information at all times.”
Transparent Pricing & Execution: The broker promotes “tight spreads” (from 0.0 pips) and rapid order execution, which supports transparency in cost of trading.

Leverage: High leverage (up to 1:2000) is available in certain account types, which can magnify both gains and losses. Traders should use tight risk management when using high leverage.

“Ideal for retail and institutional traders seeking high-leverage, global instrument access and advanced multi-platform support in a broker that emphasises tight costs and swift withdrawals.”
Avoid If: Traders who require a broker regulated under a Tier-1 jurisdiction (e.g., FCA UK, ASIC Australia) may find the regulatory status of TradingPro less robust than some competitors. Also, those who prefer extremely transparent public fee tables for every region (or very conservative leverage) should proceed with caution.
Bottom Line: TradingPro presents a compelling value proposition: broad market access, multiple platforms (MT4, MT5, web/mobile), very low minimum deposit options, and support for swap-free trading. Its strengths lie in cost efficiency and flexibility. On the flip side, the regulatory coverage is not as strong as the most highly-regulated brokers, which means traders should perform due diligence and manage risk accordingly. If you prioritise low cost, multi-asset flexibility and are comfortable with a Tier-2 regulated broker, TradingPro is worth serious consideration.
