What the two desk scores say
Both are out of 10 and both are computed, not felt.
| Cost score | Priced off the spread basis below, not off a headline rate card. | not verified |
|---|---|---|
| Safety score | Weighted on licence tier and on how many of the entries we could re-read at source. | not verified |
| Cost per 10 lots | Ten round-turn EUR/USD lots priced at the spread basis, commission excluded. | $not verified |
Spread basis. . Nothing on this page is a live quote; a spread printed on a Tuesday afternoon is not the spread you get thirty seconds after a non-farm payroll release.
Licence entries, one row per entity
Every row links to the document we read it from.

Which entity actually holds your money is decided at signup, by the country on your application — not by the strongest licence in this table. Read the client agreement you are handed, then match the entity name against the row above.
What we were able to confirm
Confirmed at source
- FXPrimus' legal page states the website is operated by Primus Markets INTL Ltd, registered in Vanuatu under number 014595 and regulated by the VFSC under licence 14595.
- The same page states Primus Global Ltd (HE 337614) is regulated by CySEC under licence number 261/14; the CySEC register lists that licence with a licence date of 22 December 2014.
- Primus Solutions LTD (HE 410155) is named on the legal page as a payment agent acting for the Vanuatu entity, not as a licence holder.

- The Financial Services Commission of Mauritius suspended FX Primus Limited's Investment Dealer (Currency Derivatives Segment) and Investment Dealer (Full Service Dealer excluding Underwriting) licences and its Global Business Licence with immediate effect on 28 May 2015, and gave public notice on 28 March 2016 that the licences had been revoked after its Enforcement Committee found breaches of the Financial Services Act 2007, the Code on the Prevention of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing and the licensing conditions (https://www.fscmauritius.org/media/1684/public-notice-fxp.pdf).

CFDs are complex instruments with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. A desk file is a record of what the public register said on the day we read it, not a recommendation to open an account.
