In a world where speed, transparency, and access define success in financial markets, IUX has emerged as one of the fastest-growing online trading platforms redefining the way traders connect to global markets. Founded in 2016, IUX was built by traders who understood the frustrations of unreliable execution, high fees, and lack of trust in traditional brokers. Today, the company stands as a global leader in multi-asset trading, known for its lightning-fast execution speeds, ultra-low spreads, and focus on empowering both new and professional traders.
Solving the accessibility gap in online trading
Many traders — particularly in emerging regions like Africa and Asia — face barriers such as high deposit requirements, slow trade execution, and limited transparency. IUX set out to close this gap. The company offers spreads starting from 0.0 pips, execution speeds averaging 30 milliseconds, and minimum deposits as low as USD 10, giving traders from all backgrounds access to global financial markets.
“At IUX, our mission has always been to make world-class trading accessible to everyone — from emerging markets to professional traders,” says Alex Delarue, Regional Commercial Director (APAC) at IUX Markets Ltd. “Speed, fairness, and transparency define everything we build.”
This focus on inclusivity and performance has resonated strongly in fast-growing markets such as South Africa, Ghana and Nigeria,, where IUX continues to expand its footprint.
Building trust through transparency and technology
IUX operates on a no-dealing-desk (NDD) model, ensuring trades are executed directly in the market without broker interference. This structure provides traders with true market pricing, minimal slippage, and a level of transparency often missing in legacy platforms.
The company’s global infrastructure — with co-located servers in major financial hubs — delivers one of the fastest trading experiences available. Combined with multi-regulatory oversight from financial authorities in Australia, Mauritius, and South Africa, IUX provides both speed and security.
Empowering traders with the tools they need
Beyond speed and low costs, IUX offers a powerful ecosystem of tools and platforms for retail and professional traders alike. From MetaTrader 5 to AI-enhanced trading analytics, clients have access to advanced features designed for precision, automation, and performance.
The platform also supports a wide range of instruments — including forex, commodities, indices, shares, and cryptocurrencies — enabling traders to diversify their portfolios within a single, streamlined environment.
For newer traders, IUX offers intuitive onboarding, educational resources, and demo environments to help users gain confidence before moving to live trading.
Recognition and milestones
IUX’s dedication to innovation and excellence has not gone unnoticed. In 2025, the company was recognised by Global Brands Magazine with awards for Best Risk Management Technology and Best Forex Broker for Low Spreads.
The company also achieved a major operational milestone in 2025 — surpassing USD 1 trillion in monthly trading volume — demonstrating both its scale and trader confidence.
These achievements reinforce IUX’s growing reputation as one of the most trusted and technologically advanced forex brokers in the industry.
Looking ahead: Expanding into Africa’s fintech frontier
As Africa’s fintech landscape accelerates, IUX sees the continent as a critical growth frontier. The company plans to expand its local presence, partnerships, and support channels in key African markets to make trading and investing more accessible to individuals and small institutions alike.
By integrating mobile-first solutions and localized payment systems, IUX aims to reduce friction for African traders while maintaining global-standard performance.
A new era of opportunity
In an industry often clouded by complexity, IUX is setting a new standard for simplicity, fairness, and performance. By blending world-class technology with deep market understanding, the company continues to shape the future of online trading — one trade, one market, and one trader at a time.
As IUX continues its expansion across Africa and beyond, it stands as proof that innovation, trust, and inclusion can coexist — and that the future of trading belongs to everyone.
