What FXPrimus does

FXPrimus is a privately held online retail forex and CFD broker founded in 2009 and operating through a multi-jurisdictional group structure: Primus Markets INTL Limited (Vanuatu, VFSC License 14595), Primus Global Limited (Cyprus, CySEC License 261/14), and Primus Solutions Limited (Cyprus, payment agent). The company serves a global retail trader base — claiming over 5 million traders — with access to more than 1,000 instruments across Forex, Metals, Energies, Indices, Stocks, Cryptocurrencies, and Synthetic Indices, distributed through MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, and a proprietary WebTrader platform.

The platform technology is built primarily on third-party MetaQuotes infrastructure (MT4/MT5), supplemented by a proprietary WebTrader and a Synthetic Indices engine driven by random number generators that simulates market behavior 24/7. Recent product development has focused on Synthetic Indices (Smash & Boost, Dynamic, Pace, Bounce categories, launched July 2025) and the PrimoConnect social trading network (January 2025). The firm employs 51-100 staff and is headquartered in Port Vila, Vanuatu, with a regional hub in Limassol, Cyprus.

FXPrimus generates revenue transactionally through spreads (starting from 0.0 pips on premium accounts), commissions on PRO/ZERO accounts, swap/overnight fees, deposit/withdrawal fees, and promotional bonuses. Go-to-market is primarily self-serve and product-led, complemented by an Introducing Broker (IB) affiliate program and content marketing via the Beginner's Academy, market news, and multilingual localizations. Customer segments are horizontally distributed across retail, professional, Islamic (swap-free), beginner, and IB/partner traders, with no disclosed enterprise or institutional clients.
