Axi's main accounts are Standard (no commission, EUR/USD from 0.68 pips) and Premium (from 0.0 pips plus $4.50 round trip, only in selected Asian countries). Both go up to 1,000:1 on MT4 and MT5. A USD Cent account (MT5) and swap-free accounts exist in selected regions, and high-volume traders can join Axi Elite with a $25,000 deposit. Axi has no standing bonus, so bonus eligibility doesn't separate the accounts.

Frequently asked questions
Which Axi account should I choose?
If you can't open Premium in your country, it's Standard: no commission and spreads from 0.68 pips on EUR/USD. If Premium is available and you trade often, compare its 0.0 pips plus $4.50 round trip with Standard's spread on your usual pairs.
What is the minimum deposit for an Axi account?
Axi recommends $100 for Standard. Its Premium article gives $100 in the text and $500 in its table. Payment-method minimums start at $5 by card.
Can I have more than one Axi account?
Yes, up to 5 active real-money accounts at a time.
Does Axi have a cent account?
Yes, a USD Cent account on MT5, but only in selected regions in Asia, Africa and Latin America and depending on your introducing broker. If you don't see it during onboarding, it isn't available to you.
