About Equiti

Equiti began life as Divisa Capital Group in 2008. The firm rebranded to Equiti in 2018 after it bought an FCA regulated UK broker and expanded across the Middle East and Africa. Equiti Group now holds licenses in the UK, Cyprus, Jordan, the UAE, Kenya, Armenia and Seychelles, with its main international brand run through the Seychelles entity.

Equiti offers forex, indices, shares and crypto CFDs on MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5 and its own Equiti Trader app. A Classic account needs no minimum deposit, though average spreads run 1.4 to 1.6 pips. Leverage can reach 1:2000 on the Seychelles entity, far above what UK or EU rules allow retail clients.

On Trustpilot, Equiti scores 3.6 out of 5 from 276 reviews, yet 53 percent of reviewers leave only 1 star. WikiFX and other trackers describe a pattern of blocked withdrawals and frozen funds in 2025 and 2026. The FCA regulated UK entity serves only professional clients, so most retail traders depend on the offshore Seychelles license.
