- Educational content is thin next to research heavy competitors

Axi started in 2007 as AxiTrader, a small forex startup in Sydney, Australia. It grew into a global broker with offices in London, Dubai, and Cyprus. In 2020, ASIC suspended AxiCorp's Australian license for four months over client money and reporting failures. A tribunal paused the suspension, and ASIC later replaced it with new license conditions in 2021.
Axi offers CFDs on forex, indices, commodities, shares, and crypto through MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5, plus its own mobile app. There is no cTrader or TradingView option. The Pro account offers spreads from 0.0 pips plus a commission near $4.50 per lot, while the Standard account has no commission with spreads from 0.6 pips.
On Trustpilot, Axi scores near 4.1 out of 5 from over 7,000 reviews, and about 12 percent leave just 1 star. A common complaint is a slow withdrawal tied to extra identity checks. Axi holds real FCA and ASIC licenses, so genuine oversight exists, but the 2020 suspension shows real gaps once existed.
