Spreads Cut on Major Forex Pairs
We have cut our minimum spreads on GBP/USD and EUR/GBP to just 1 pip, enabling you to enjoy even better value from the UK’s No.1 retail forex provider*.
We regularly review our dealing spreads to ensure our pricing remains highly competitive. With our latest cuts we have halved the minimum spread on GBP/USD and EUR/GBP – two of our most popular forex markets.
In addition to these new spread cuts, we continue to offer 1 pip spreads on the major EUR/USD, AUD/USD and USD/JPY pairs.
