PU Prime Review 2025

Trust

PU Prime Regulators

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 four entities operating under the PU Prime trade name:

• PU Prime Ltd is licensed and regulated by the Financial Services Commission (FSC) of Mauritius under license number GB23202672. We rate FSC as a Tier-3 regulator.
• PU Prime Trading PTY Ltd is licensed and regulated by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) under license number 410681. We rate ASIC as a Tier-1 regulator.
• PU Prime (PTY) Ltd is licensed and regulated by the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) of South Africa under license number 52218. We rate the FSCA as a Tier-2 regulator.
• PU Prime Limited is also licensed and regulated by the Financial Services Authority (FSA) of Seychelles under license number SD050. We rate the FSA as a Tier-3 regulator.
• PU Prime LLC is incorporated in St. Vincent and the Grenadines with registration number 271 LLC 2020. The entity is not regulated.

How Does PU Prime Protect You

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 PU Prime protects you:

🛟 Segregated Accounts: PU Prime keeps client funds in separate bank accounts from its own operational money. This ensures your funds are protected even if the broker runs into financial trouble.

🛟 Negative Balance Protection: Your losses can never exceed the money in your account, so you won’t end up owing the broker money.

🛟 Participation in The Financial Commission: This independent body provides dispute resolution services and offers compensation of up to €20,000 per case if a ruling goes in the trader’s favor.

🛟 Private Indemnity Insurance: PU Prime has issued an additional insurance policy that covers certain risks, giving traders an extra layer of financial protection beyond regulatory requirements.

Stability and Transparency

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.

According to its LinkedIn page, PU Prime has been around for over 10 years and employs more than 300 professionals globally, which speaks to its stability and solid business model.

Since my last review over a year ago, I was pleased to see the broker strengthen its client protection measures. PU Prime has now registered nearly all of its entities with The Financial Commission—one of the largest independent dispute resolution bodies in the industry. This move provides traders with access to an additional compensation fund, further boosting trust and security.

I also reviewed PU Prime’s website and legal documents and found everything in order. The broker is transparent, with legal information that’s easy to access and understand. A nice touch is that PU Prime displays live spreads right on its homepage, allowing visitors to quickly gauge its fee competitiveness and overall transparency.

Is PU Prime Safe?

Although one of PU Prime’s entities is unregulated, I found that the broker still invests heavily in client safety:

• Authorized by four regulators.
• Protects client money from the broker’s credit risk.
• Provides negative balance protection so your account can’t go below zero.
• Commits to compensate its clients in case of insolvency.
• Maintains superior execution standards.
• Has transparent legal documents.

Fees

PU Prime Trading Fees

PU Prime Spreads

I tested PU Prime’s spreads on 5 September 2025 during the London and New York opens. The results are shown in the table below:

Live testing revealed that PU Prime charges average spreads across currency pairs, commodities, and indices. Tighter spreads are available on share CFDs, while the recorded $19 spread on the BTCUSD was especially low.

PU Prime Swaps

A swap fee is a trader’s cost for holding an open position overnight because of changing interest rates. Swap long refers to the charge deductible or credit receivable for holding a buy position open overnight. In turn, swap short relates to the charges/credits deductible or receivable for holding a selling position open overnight.

The values listed below are for one full base currency contract (100,000 units).

According to my findings, PU Prime’s overnight fees meet the industry average on all instruments I tested. However, swap rates change over time.

PU Prime Non-Trading Fees

PU Prime doesn’t charge any fees for deposits or withdrawals, though your bank or payment provider might. Another plus is that there’s no inactivity fee. The only catch is that accounts with no trading activity for 90 days and a balance under $10 may be archived by the broker.

Are PU Prime’s Fees Competitive?

PU Prime’s fees are competitive overall. Standard spreads range from low to average, and swaps are in line with industry norms. On top of that, the broker charges no non-trading fees, which makes it more cost-efficient than many competitors.

Platforms and Tools

MetaTrader 5 Desktop

I tested the MetaTrader 5 (MT5) desktop platform and found it relatively easy to navigate. The main dashboard is intuitive, with charts, order types, and trading instruments located in familiar places. Even first-time users can grasp the basics with minimal effort.

However, the platform design feels a bit outdated. Compared to more modern trading platforms, MT5’s chart visuals are rugged and lack the sleek, polished look that many traders today prefer.

Availability & Features

The MT5 platform by PU Prime is available for Windows and Mac users and supports 52 languages, including English, Spanish, German, Arabic, and Chinese — making it accessible to traders around the globe.

MT5 features include:

• Price Alerts: Set alerts when an instrument hits a specific price — ideal for spotting trade entry opportunities.
• Customizable Watchlists: Keep tabs on your favorite instruments with ease.
• One-Click Trading: Enter trades instantly at market price — perfect for scalpers or fast-paced traders.
• Chart Trading: Place and manage orders directly from the chart, including entry points, volume, stop-loss, and take-profit levels.

In my view, MT5 really shines when it comes to automated trading. It supports Expert Advisors (EAs) and comes with an easy-to-use strategy tester, allowing algo traders to fine-tune their systems for different market conditions.

Charting & Analysis Tools

MT5 is loaded with analytical tools, including:

• 38 built-in technical indicators: From trend-following to oscillators and volume-based tools.
• 24 drawing tools: Including Fibonacci retracements, Elliott Waves, and more for technical pattern spotting.
• 21 timeframes: Great for multi-timeframe analysis — one of the largest offerings in the industry.
• 3 chart types: Line, bar, and candlestick options let traders view price action in their preferred format.

That said, the charts can get visually cluttered quite fast — even when only two indicators are active. This can make it harder to interpret price action clearly and may not be ideal for traders who rely heavily on clean, minimalistic chart setups.

Order Types

MT5 offers three execution modes and covers all the core order types needed by most traders:

• Market Orders: Instant execution at the best available price — ideal for quick entries
• Limit Orders: Target a specific price level for entry, though execution isn’t guaranteed.
• Stop Orders: Protect open positions with predefined risk levels. Stop-loss orders automatically convert into market orders once triggered.

MT5 Desktop: My Key Takeaways

MetaTrader 5 is a solid platform for fast and straightforward trading, particularly if you’re into algorithmic strategies or use EAs. It’s reliable, packed with tools, and supports detailed trade execution.

However, its interface feels dated compared to more modern alternatives like TradingView or cTrader. If you’re a trader who values sleek design and customizable charting, MT5 might feel a bit too rigid and visually overwhelming.

MT5 App

The MT5 mobile app is available on iOS and Android, enabling quick and easy access to the market on the go. It is very useful for opening, terminating, and adjusting open positions.

You can also use the app to place market, limit, and stop orders, as well as to adjust the exposure of your open trades.

MT5 App: My Key Takeaways

The MetaTrader app stands out for its convenience, making it an essential tool for adjusting trades, especially during periods of heightened volatility. However, it is cumbersome and not the best choice for analyzing price action.

PU Prime App

The PU Prime app boasts an intuitive design and powerful charts. It features 10 timeframes, 6 drawing tools, and 13 technical indicators. I appreciated that next to each indicator, you can find a few introductory lines explaining its functioning and application.

The app lets you trade on the go and even copy other traders’ strategies. It also comes integrated with advanced market analytics, including Autochartist, putting everything you need right at your fingertips.

PU Prime Execution Model

PU Prime 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.

Tradable Instruments

Compared to the industry average, PU Prime offers an average number of currency pairs and a high amount of commodities, share CFDs, indices, and cryptocurrencies.

What Are CFDs?

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.

What CFDs Can You Trade With PU Prime?

PU Prime Instruments: My Key Takeaways

PU Prime steps up its game with its extensive instruments offering, which comprises multiple types of CFD, spot, and futures contracts. The offering balances low-risk securities, like ETFs and bonds, with high-yield/risk assets, such as stocks and cryptocurrencies.

Customer Support

Customer Support Channels

Customer Support Test

When we test a broker’s customer support, we evaluate the agent’s knowledge of their own website, how long it takes them to respond to questions, and how detailed their answers are.

I tested PU Prime’s customer support over a few days by asking different questions. I started with easy stuff about the company background and then moved on to more detailed topics like their execution model. Overall, the agents were polite, quick to respond, and gave me clear, detailed answers.

PU Prime Account Types

PU Prime’s Standard account is commission-free and designed for casual traders. With a low $50 minimum deposit, it’s one of the more affordable entry points.

For high-volume traders, the Prime and ECN accounts offer raw spreads from 0.0 pips. The Prime account charges a $7 round-turn commission (slightly above the $6 industry average) but requires only a $1,000 deposit. The ECN account, on the other hand, has a much lower $2 round-turn commission but comes with a steep $10,000 minimum deposit.

The Cent account is tailored for algo traders who want to test strategies in a live environment without committing large sums. The minimum deposit is just $20.

Demo Accounts

PU Prime offers a demo account that lets traders explore the broker’s available platforms 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.

Swap-Free (Islamic) Accounts

PU Prime provides Islamic accounts for swap-free trading under Shariah Law. Please contact the broker for additional information.

What is CFD Leverage?

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.

What Leverage Does PU Prime Offer?

In the table below, I have listed the maximum retail leverage available with PU Prime Ltd for instruments from different asset classes:

PU Prime Restricted Countries

PU Prime does not accept as clients residents of Kenya, Vietnam, Bangladesh, Madagascar, Egypt, Malaysia, UAE, Indonesia, Thailand, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, American Samoa, Australia, Belarus, Bermuda, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Botswana, Central African Republic, mainland China, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Eritrea, Guinea-Bissau, Lebanon, Libya, Montenegro, North Korea, Sierra Leone, and Singapore.

Research

Research Tools

• Economic Calendar: The economic calendar informs traders of upcoming market events and economic releases that have the potential to stir a market reaction and therefore create viable trading opportunities.

• Market Insights: PU Prime’s news screener provides a steady flow of market analyses, breaking down key economic events and decisions and their impact on the market.

• Currency Heatmap: This sentiment gauge helps traders track the changing strengths of instruments across various asset classes compared to other instruments from the same market. Traders are thus presented with a quick overview of changing buying and selling pressures.

• Autochartist Content: Autochartist is a well-known tool for market reviews and technical breakdowns. What makes it especially useful is that it highlights trading setups as they’re developing. Each idea comes with entry and exit points, stop-loss levels, and key support and resistance zones, giving traders a clear roadmap for potential trades.

PU Prime Research: My Key Takeaways

PU Prime really stands out with its well-rounded market research, catering to both day traders and swing traders. The steady stream of market news, easy-to-use sentiment gauges, and actionable trading signals create a layered and sophisticated package. What I liked most is the balance between PU Prime’s own in-house insights and third-party tools like Autochartist, which makes the research both practical and versatile.

Education

I counted 48 educational videos on PU Prime’s YouTube channel. They’re light, easy to follow, and give beginners a hands-off way to start learning. The broker also runs regular webinars, which provide live coverage of major market events and economic releases.

I especially liked PU Prime’s trading academy, which features around 150 articles on key topics like technical and fundamental analysis, trading psychology, and risk management. The content is well-structured and layered, making it useful for everyone—from complete beginners to more advanced traders.

The cherry on top is PU Prime’s Trading Quizzes section, which allows traders to test their knowledge at their own pace.

The Bottom Line

PU Prime has grown into a solid all-round broker since its launch in 2015, offering 960+ instruments and a well-balanced mix of forex, stocks, cryptos, ETFs, and bonds. Its research and education stand out, with in-house insights, Autochartist integration, and a structured trading academy that’s more advanced than most competitors.

On the safety side, PU Prime covers its bases with four regulated entities, segregated accounts, negative balance protection, and even private indemnity insurance—something few brokers provide. The only drawback is that one entity remains unregulated, though overall protections are stronger than the industry norm.

In terms of costs, spreads are generally mid-range, but I found them impressively tight on share CFDs and BTCUSD, which makes PU Prime competitive where it counts. Add in the fact that there are no non-trading fees (like deposit, withdrawal, or inactivity charges), and it’s cost-friendlier than many rivals.

Platforms are reliable with MT4, MT5, and PU Prime’s own app, though some traders might miss alternatives like cTrader or TradingView. Customer support is quick and multilingual, though not flawless—I noticed a small gap in accuracy during testing.

Thanks to its $50 entry-level account, copy trading, and strong education, PU Prime is a great fit for new traders. While raw spread accounts, VPS reimbursement, and robust algo support benefit and advanced traders and professionals.
