About Tickmill

Tickmill started in 2014 in Mahe, Seychelles, then split into separate companies for different regions. Tickmill UK Ltd earned its FCA licence in 2016, and a Cyprus arm followed under CySEC. A South African entity later added an FSCA licence.

Most new clients pick the Classic account, free of commission, but spreads there average 1.6 pips. The Raw account is a better deal, with spreads from 0.0 pips plus a 3 dollar side commission. MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 work on every entity, but TradingView and Tickmill Trader stay limited to the Seychelles firm.

In 2026, Trustpilot suspended Tickmill's public score after removing fake reviews, leaving a historic 3.1 out of 5 from around 1,130 reviews. Reviewers complain most about withdrawal delays of a week or longer and repeated document requests. Tickmill's own site excludes Singapore, the United States, Iran, and India, where the central bank lists it as unauthorised.
