Fintana is a Mauritius-based broker offering over 160 CFDs on its platform, covering a diverse range of asset classes, including forex pairs, commodities, indices, stocks, and cryptocurrencies. Its proprietary WebTrader platform, powered by TradingView charts, makes technical analysis smooth and detailed. I also appreciated its practical research tools and the availability of several account types to suit different trading styles.
Still, Fintana struggles to compete with industry standards. Its spreads and swaps are much higher than average, it charges a $100 inactivity fee after just 30 days, and it doesn’t provide low-risk instruments like ETFs or bonds. Fintana also has some transparency gaps, such as unclear deposit requirements and protections.
Compared to peers, Fintana is more expensive and less feature-rich, making it a poor fit for beginners or cost-conscious traders. However, chart-focused traders who value smooth technical analysis might still find it appealing despite its higher costs.

When reviewing a broker, we assess whether it suits different trading strategies and trader profiles. To achieve this, we evaluate the availability of the necessary features and tools. Here’s our verdict about Fintana:
Day traders with Fintana can benefit from the broker’s WebTrader, which has powerful charting capabilities and robust market research. However, its high trading fees may bother some traders.
Traders can benefit from Fintana’s intuitive economic calendar, a news screener, daily market breakdowns, and trading signals. However, the broker charges high spreads and swap fees.
Fintana’s trading fees are high across the board. In some cases, the broker’s spreads significantly exceed the industry average. Fintana also does not offer many supporting tools and services.
Social and copy trading are not available with Fintana.
I discovered that Fintana’s EURUSD, GBPJPY, and XAUUSD swaps exceed the industry benchmark. Moreover, the broker does not offer assets suitable for longer-term trading, like ETFs or bonds.
Fintana’s WebTrader does not support one-click trading, DoM (Depth-of-Market) trading, or floating stop orders. There is no Virtual Private Server (VPS) hosting for low-latency trading.
Automated trading is not available with Fintana.
Fintana does not offer any real stocks for value investing and portfolio building.
Fintana’s greatest asset is its versatile trading platform. Even though it lacks many key functionalities, such as one-click trading, its TradingView charts are easily scalable and very expressive. Price action is fluid and represented in great detail.
I opened a Classic account with the Fintana Trading Limited entity and performed my tests on the web and mobile versions of the Fintana WebTrader platform. Some features and services may vary depending on where you reside.

Fintana is licensed and regulated by the FSC of Mauritius. It keeps client funds segregated, but does not guarantee negative balance protection. I also found some transparency issues with the broker’s website and legal documents.

| Country/Region | Mauritius/Ebene |

When reviewing brokers, we examine the licenses held by each of their entities to determine how effectively they protect clients. We use a simple three-tier system to rank regulatory bodies, with Tier 1 being the most trusted and offering the highest level of protection.
This is what I discovered about the single entity operating under the Fintana trade name:
Brokers operate multiple entities globally, but regulatory protections vary. Some regulators enforce stricter financial standards than others, so traders should understand the safety measures of the entity with which they choose to open an account.
Here is how Fintana protects you:
✅ Segregated accounts – Client funds are kept separate from the company’s own capital.
❌ Negative balance protection – Your losses can exceed your invested capital.
❌ Compensation scheme – Your funds are exposed to the broker’s credit liabilities in case of insolvency.
To learn more about the most important safety mechanisms and how they apply to you, click here.
In our Trust category, we assess how stable and transparent a broker is. This includes how long they’ve been in business, the size of the company, and how openly they share important information.
I reviewed the ‘About Us’ section of Fintana’s website and its LinkedIn page and was surprised to find that both lack some very basic company details—such as where the broker is headquartered, when it was founded, or how large the company actually is.
Another drawback is that Fintana does not display live spreads on its website. This is usually a key transparency measure, as it allows traders to quickly compare a broker’s fees with industry standards.
Finally, while the website repeatedly suggests that Fintana offers negative balance protection, I could not find any confirmation of this in the broker’s legal documents. This inconsistency raises questions about the clarity of the protections actually provided to clients.
Fintana is regulated by the Mauritius FSC, a Tier-3 regulator. Client funds are segregated, but I couldn’t confirm that the broker provides negative balance protection and a compensation scheme. Their absence leaves traders more exposed to risk.
Transparency is also weak: the website doesn’t display live spreads, omits key company details, and its legal documents don’t confirm the protections it claims to provide. Overall, Fintana is regulated but less safe than many industry peers.
Fintana’s trading fees are on the higher side across all instruments I tested. Spreads came in way above the industry average, and swaps showed the same pattern. While the broker doesn’t charge a handling fee on deposits, its inactivity fee is relatively high and applies after a short period of inactivity.
I tested Fintana’s spreads on 9 September 2025 during the London and New York opens. The results are shown in the table below:
| Instrument | Live Spread AM | Live Spread PM | Industry Average |
| EURUSD | 4.1 pips | 4.0 pips | 1.08 pips |
| GBPJPY | 11.6 pips | 11.4 pips | 2.44 pips |
| Gold (XAUUSD) | 272 pips | 269 pips | 23 pips |
| Crude Oil | 0.17 pips | 0.17 pips | 0.03 pips |
| Apple | NA | 1.09 points | 0.33 points |
| Tesla | NA | 2.08 points | 0.50 points |
| Dow Jones 30 | 31.5 basis points | 31.5 basis points | 3.3 basis points |
| Germany 40 | 14 basis points | 14 basis points | 2.4 basis points |
| Bitcoin | $397.99 | $397.99 | $34 |
Fintana’s spreads exceed the industry average across all instruments I tested.
A swap fee is the cost of keeping a trade open overnight, and it’s tied to the difference in interest rates between the two currencies in a pair. If you’re holding a buy (long) position, you may either pay or earn interest depending on the rates—this is called a swap long. The same applies to a sell (short) position, where the overnight charge or credit is called a swap short.
The values listed below are for one full base currency contract (100,000 units).
| Instrument | Swap Long | Swap Short |
| EURUSD | Charge of $47.28 | Charge of $45.7 |
| GBPJPY | Charge of $89.59 | Charge of $91.25 |
| Gold (XAUUSD) | Charge of $146.74 | Charge of $144.05 |
According to my findings, Fintana’s EURUSD, GBPJPY, and XAUUSD swaps all exceed the industry benchmark, making the broker unsuitable for overnight trading.
I also noticed that Fintana’s swaps are always credit deductible and never credit receivable, meaning that its clients are always charged overnight costs and never paid overnight interest, regardless of how interest rates on the interbank level change.
All deposits and most withdrawals with Fintana are free of charge, except for wire transfer withdrawals, which incur a $30 handling fee. Third-party processing fees may also apply.
I also found out that the broker charges a $100 inactivity fee after just 30 days without trading. That’s both a steep fee and a short timeframe. The charge continues every month until you start trading again or your account balance hits zero.
In the table below, you can see how the inactivity fee increases following different periods of inactivity:
| Inactivity Period | Monthly Inactivity Fee |
| 0 to 30 days | $0 |
| After 30 days | $100 |
| After 60 days | $250 |
| After 180 days | $500 |
I concluded that Fintana’s fees are not competitive. Compared to the industry, the broker charges high spreads and overnight charges, and does not pay any positive swaps to its clients. Additionally, Fintana charges a relatively high inactivity fee after a comparatively short period of time – only 30 calendar days.
Fintana’s flagship web platform has integrated TradingView charts, making it a solid tool for advanced price action analysis. However, it lacks some of the key features you’d expect from today’s top trading platforms. The broker has also developed a user-friendly mobile app for trading on the go.
| Platform/Tool | Suitable For |
| Fintana WebTrader | Easy order execution, advanced technical analysis, basic market research |
| Firebase App | Easy order execution, trading on the go, basic market research |
I tested Fintana’s WebTrader and found it easy to navigate thanks to its clean, streamlined layout. Charts, watchlists, and account details are all placed where you’d expect them, making the platform intuitive to use. The dashboard isn’t overloaded with features, making it beginner-friendly—first-time traders can get comfortable with it pretty quickly.
Fintana’s WebTrader is available in English and supported on all major search engines.
The platform’s main features include:
However, I found that Fintana’s WebTrader is missing several essential tools. It doesn’t support one-click trading, price alerts, Depth-of-Market (DoM) trading, or automated strategies through Expert Advisors (EAs). Without these features, the platform feels quite limited in functionality compared to more advanced alternatives.
Fintana’s WebTrader is packed with some useful tools, including:
The WebTrader’s charting is powered by TradingView, delivering fluid, highly detailed charts that make technical analysis a breeze. The price action is easily scalable, which is especially useful for conducting in-depth chart studies.
Fintana’s WebTrader offers the three basic order types:
I liked Fintana’s WebTrader because of its intuitive design and fluid charts. I especially enjoyed scaling price action up and down, which made it easy to spot viable trading opportunities. Despite the platform’s versatility, however, I noticed that it is stripped down of most key functionalities that are present in other platforms, such as one-click trading, DoM trading, and more.
Fintana’s mobile app boasts a pleasant and intuitive design, with high-definition charts powered by TradingView. It also features more than 30 analytical tools and chart configurations, and can be used for trading on the go and basic market research. Last but not least, the app features an integrated economic calendar.
I also learned that the app can be used for watchlist customization, account management, and placing market, limit, and stop orders. This makes it an indispensable tool for managing open trades on the go.
Fintana’s mobile app has a pleasant and intuitive design, which feels lighter than other mobile apps like the renowned MT4 and MT5. The Fintana app’s greatest asset is its powerful charting capabilities, powered by seamless TradingView. It makes scaling price action up and down fast and easy.
Fintana operates as a Straight-Through-Processing (STP) broker without a dealing desk. Client orders are routed to the broker’s pool of liquidity providers, where they are filled at the best possible price.
Fintana offers over 260 CFD instruments, covering forex pairs, commodities, shares, indices, and cryptocurrencies. While this lineup is enough for retail traders to get started, it lacks depth and variety. Notably, there are no lower-risk options like ETFs or bonds.
| Markets | Number | Types | Contract Types | Industry Average |
| Forex Pairs | 46 | Major, Minor, and Exotic | Spot | 30 – 75 |
| Commodities | 20 | Metals, Energies, and Softs | Spot, Futures | 5 – 10 |
| Shares | 174 | Retail, Tech, Financial, Other | CFD | 100 – 500 |
| Indices | 13 | US, EU, Asia, Other | Cash | 10 – 20 |
| Cryptocurrencies | 13 | Major and Minor | CFD | 10 – 20 |
Compared to the industry average, Fintana offers an average number of currency pairs, share CFDs, indices, and cryptocurrencies, and a high number of commodities.
CFDs (Contracts for Difference) let you trade on the price movements of assets—like gold—without actually owning them.
For example, if you go long on gold and the price rises, you profit; if it falls, you lose—without ever buying real gold.
The biggest perk? You can jump in or out of the market quickly to take advantage of even the smallest price changes.
| Currency Pairs | Commodities |
| EURUSD | GBPJPY | EURCHF | AUDCAD | CADJPY | GBPNZD | Gold | Crude Oil | Brent Oil | Silver | Copper | Coffee | Cotton | Natural Gas |
| Shares CFDs | Indices |
| Apple | Tesla | Google | Microsoft | Wells Fargo | Qualcomm | Pfizer | Dow Jones 30 | Germany 40 | Nasdaq 100 | Japan 225 | S&P 500 | UK 100 |
| Cryptocurrencies |
| Bitcoin | Stellar | Ripple | Ethereum | Litecoin | Cardano | Tron |
I found Fintana’s selection of tradable instruments sufficient but lacking in depth. I would have appreciated it more if the broker offered ETFs or bonds—low-risk securities typically used for hedging.
Fintana’s customer support is available 24/7 via live chat, email, and over the phone. Agents respond within seconds and have an adequate understanding of key topics, but may struggle with more complex questions. The website also features an FAQ section for more general queries.

When we test a broker’s customer support, we evaluate the agent’s knowledge of their own website, the time it takes them to respond to questions, and the level of detail in their answers.
I tested Fintana’s customer support by asking a range of questions over several days, varying in scope and difficulty. Initially, I posed some straightforward questions about the broker’s background and services, and the agent handled them reasonably well.
During my second interaction, the agent wasn’t able to provide a clear answer about the minimum deposit requirements for the different account types. Instead, I was encouraged to register for an account to be connected with another specialist.
| Available Languages |
| English, Spanish, Thai, Bahasa, German, French, Italian |
Payments to and from Fintana can be processed via bank wire, credit and debit cards, and e-wallets. Deposits are free of charge, but the broker charges a $30 handling fee for withdrawals made via bank wire. Third-party banking fees may also apply. Processing times are within the norm.
| Deposit Method | Currency | Fee | Processing Time |
| Bank Wire | All | $0 | 2-5 Business days |
| Credit Cards | USD, EUR, GBP | $0 | Instant |
| Debit Cards | USD, EUR, GBP | $0 | Instant |
| e-Wallets | USD, EUR, GBP | $0 | Instant |
| Withdrawal Method | Currency | Fee | Processing Time |
| Bank Wire | All | $30 | 2-7 Business days |
| Credit Cards | USD, EUR, GBP | $0 | Up to 24 hours |
| Debit Cards | USD, EUR, GBP | $0 | Up to 24 hours |
| e-Wallets | USD, EUR, GBP | $0 | Up to 24 hours |
Fintana offers five spread-based trading accounts with USD, EUR, GBP, and CHR available as base currencies. The minimum deposit on the Classic account is $250, although the broker does not disclose the deposit requirement for other accounts. Fintana does not offer Islamic accounts for swap-free trading.
To create an account with Fintana, follow these simple steps:
| Account Type | Classic | Silver | Gold | Platinum | VIP |
| Spread From | 2.5 pips | 2.5 pips | 1.8 pips | 1.4 pips | 0.9 pips |
| Commission* | $0 | $0 | $0 | $0 | $0 |

| Demo Account | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
*Round-turn per one full contract
The Classic account features zero commissions and floating spreads from 2.5 pips, with its trading fees exceeding the industry average across the board. I also learned from Finanta’s FAQ that the account’s minimum deposit required is $250.
The other account types are said to feature more competitive prices, but their fee competitiveness cannot be assessed because the respective deposit requirements are not disclosed. I couldn’t find the difference between the offered account types.
The broker also states that the Gold account has the best value, but it is not clear as to why.
Fintana offers a demo account that lets traders explore the WebTrader platform and test their strategies in a risk-free environment. Since markets are constantly changing, it’s crucial to keep your skills sharp without risking real money. You can open a demo account before or alongside your live CFD account.
Fintana does not provide Islamic accounts for swap-free trading.
Leverage determines a trader’s overall market exposure. When trading Contracts for Difference (CFDs), positions can be opened for a fraction of their value because of leverage. Essentially, the broker lends the trader money so that they can open bigger positions. Leverage multiplies the profits a trader generates from winning positions, but also the losses incurred from failed trades.
In the table below, I have listed the maximum retail leverage available with Fintana for instruments from different asset classes:
| Asset | Maximum Leverage |
| Currency Pairs | 1:400 |
| Metals | 1:200 |
| Commodities | 1:200 |
| Share CFDs | 1:5 |
| Indices | 1:200 |
| Cryptocurrencies | 1:5 |
Fintana does not accept as clients residents of the United States, Canada, the EU, the United Kingdom, Russia, Iran, Iraq, Belarus, North Korea, or any other restricted country or jurisdiction where trading is prohibited by law.
Fintana offers an economic calendar, a news screener, video market breakdowns, and trading signals developed in-house. The content is light but offers a penetrating overview of key market developments. The broker claims to incorporate Trading Central content, but I could not confirm this independently.
Fintana’s research is practical but lacks depth. It provides only a basic overview of market developments without digging into the finer details that many traders rely on. Compared to the industry standard, Fintana could do better in research areas. The broker also claims to integrate Trading Central content, but I couldn’t find any evidence of this in the client area or on the platform.
Fintana provides a beginner-friendly education package that includes 8 structured courses with 43 lessons, alongside several ebooks. The materials are clear, accessible, and well-suited for newcomers, though they don’t yet cover advanced areas such as in-depth technical and fundamental analysis, trading psychology, or risk management.
Fintana has put together a collection of educational resources, including several video-based courses and guidebooks, giving traders a solid introduction to key trading concepts. The broker currently offers 8 courses with 43 individual lessons that cover a wide variety of topics. Interestingly, some of the lessons even touch on areas like ECN and copy trading, which shows Fintana’s willingness to broaden traders’ perspectives.
The guidebooks (presented as “E-Books”) also explain different aspects of the trading process in a clear and accessible way. While the materials are more suited to beginners and don’t yet dive deeply into advanced areas like technical or fundamental analysis, trading psychology, or risk management, they still provide a useful starting point for those new to trading.
Fintana offers a few notable strengths but some big gaps compared to the wider industry. Its proprietary WebTrader, powered by TradingView, is genuinely a highlight — fluid, intuitive, and great for traders who rely heavily on technical analysis.
The broker also deserves credit for offering several account types, practical market research tools, and generally quick customer support.
That said, the downsides are hard to ignore. Trading costs are well above the industry average, swaps are always negative, and a $100 inactivity fee kicks in after only 30 days.
The instrument lineup covers the basics but lacks lower-risk products like ETFs or bonds, making hedging difficult. There are also some transparency concerns, such as unclear account conditions and protections, and Fintana falls behind many of its competitors.
Overall, Fintana may suit experienced traders who prioritize sleek charting and don’t mind higher costs. But for beginners or anyone who is cost-conscious, the broker’s offering feels limited compared to what the broader market provides.
