What Royal does
OneRoyal is a privately held forex and CFD brokerage operating under Royal Group Holdings, founded in 2006 and headquartered in Kingstown, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, with its principal operating hub in Limassol, Cyprus. The company offers retail and institutional traders access to 2,000+ CFD instruments across forex, indices, metals, shares, ETFs, and cryptocurrencies via MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 platforms, available on web, desktop, and mobile. OneRoyal is regulated across four jurisdictions (ASIC, CySEC, VFSC, FSA SVG) and holds membership in The Financial Commission, allowing it to serve clients in 163 countries from offices in Australia, Cyprus, Lebanon, Vanuatu, St. Vincent & the Grenadines, and Egypt.
The company's product surface includes five tiered account types — Classic (zero commission, $5 minimum), ECN (raw spread, $3.50/side), Prime (professional-grade, $1.75/side, 1:1000 leverage, $5,000 minimum), Cent (micro-lot, $10 minimum), and Swap-Free (Shariah-compliant) — alongside PAMM investing, MT4 MultiTerminal for money managers, an in-house MetaFX multi-account platform, and a Hokocloud-powered social/copy trading network. A recurring feature marketing pillar is the Acuity AI suite (SignalX AI trading signals, AssetIQ research, Action News sentiment analysis, Daily Intel insights, Market Scanner, and Economic Calendar) bundled with Autochartist technical analysis, augmented by proprietary MT4 Accelerator add-ons (Alarm Manager, Correlation Matrix, Trade Terminal, Stealth Orders). Institutional liquidity and prime brokerage services run through the OnePrime sub-brand.
OneRoyal generates transaction-based revenue primarily from bid-ask spreads (0.0-1.4 pips depending on account tier) and per-lot commissions, supplemented by swap/overnight financing fees and promotional 100% deposit bonuses up to $5,000. Distribution combines direct-to-consumer online onboarding, an Introducing Broker (IB) network with lot-rebate and revenue-share plans, Money Manager partnerships via PAMM/MAM platforms, OnePrime institutional channels, and an event-led marketing footprint (Money Expo, IFX Expo, Smart Vision summits) anchored by brand ambassador Diego Forlán. Additional recurring revenue comes from tiered VPS hosting ($27-$35/month) and ancillary infrastructure services.
