LIRUNEX

LIRUNEX Broker Overview

LIRUNEX is a forex and CFD brand that has been trading since 2016 and is operated by a group of companies using the name Lirunex Limited, with its principal operating address in Ebene Cybercity, Mauritius. The brand offers MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5, variable spreads, a hybrid execution model, swap free and ECN style accounts, and headline leverage of up to 1:1000. Its regulatory position is the most important thing to understand before funding an account, because the group holds several authorisations and each one covers a different, narrow part of the business.

LIRUNEX Regulation and License

Four authorisations sit on the record, held by different companies in the group.

• Lirunex Limited of Cyprus, company number HE353862, holds Cyprus Investment Firm licence 338/17 from the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission, effective 25 September 2017 and confirmed active on that register. The authorisation covers reception and transmission of orders, execution for clients, dealing on own account and portfolio management. The register records only lirunex.eu and lxprime.eu as approved websites, and the Cyprus arm is now moving to the LX Prime name: lirunex.eu carries a notice that its trading name is changing to LX Prime and its domain to lxprime.eu, and it forwards there.
• Lirunex Limited of Mauritius, company number 216574 GBC, is recorded on the Financial Services Commission Mauritius public register as holding a SEC-2.1B Investment Dealer licence, full service dealer excluding underwriting, from 6 January 2025. The number the brand advertises, GB24203882, is a Global Business Licence, which is a company status licence rather than the dealing authorisation.
• Lirunex Limited holds Labuan money broker licence MB/20/0050 from the Labuan Financial Services Authority. Money broking is an intermediary permission covering the arranging and transmission of currency transactions, and it does not permit business with residents of onshore Malaysia.
• Lirunex Financial Services L.L.C of Dubai holds Category 5 registration 20200000423 with the United Arab Emirates Securities and Commodities Authority for Financial Consultations and Introduction. That authority's own entity record states this does not authorise brokerage in derivatives, unregulated commodity contracts or spot foreign exchange, nor executing client orders or managing portfolios.

Is LIRUNEX Regulated?

Parts of the group are, and the part most clients actually deal with is not. A client who opens an account on lirunex.eu or lxprime.eu is a client of the CySEC authorised Cyprus firm and is inside a regulated relationship. A client who opens an account on the global lirunex.com or lirunex.online sites is not covered by the Cyprus licence, because those websites are not on the CySEC approved list, and the remaining authorisations are either an offshore dealing licence, an intermediary money broking permission, or an advisory registration that expressly excludes trading.

Is LIRUNEX Safe?

The safety of the arrangement depends entirely on which entity holds the account, and regulation on one site does not extend to another. Clients of the Cyprus firm have segregated client money, MiFID conduct rules and access to the Cypriot investor compensation fund up to 20,000 euros. Clients of the Mauritius entity have capital, audit and client money obligations behind them but no statutory compensation scheme, so a failure of the company would leave them relying on its liquidation. Clients onboarded through the Labuan or UAE entities have weaker or no protection over deposits. The corporate side of the business is real and documented: the Mauritius operating company is confirmed on the Mauritius public register as Lirunex Limited, 216574 GBC, at Suite 201 Level 2, The Catalyst Building, 40 Silicon Avenue, Cybercity, Ebene. Company registration is not financial regulation, and it should not be read as protection for deposits.

LIRUNEX Account Types

Seven live tiers are on record, four standard and three swap free. LX-STANDARD and LX-STANDARD CENT both open from no stated minimum and charge no commission, with the Cent tier denominated in cents so that small balances can be traded in smaller increments. LX-PRIME opens from no stated minimum and charges 8 USD per lot. LX-PRO requires 10,000 USD and charges 4 USD per lot, which is the cheapest commission of the set. The three Islamic tiers carry no swap charge and no commission, opening from 25 USD on Islamic Standard, 200 USD on Islamic Prime and no stated minimum on Islamic Cent. Every tier is offered at up to 1:1000.

LIRUNEX Spreads, Commissions and Fees

Spreads are variable rather than fixed. The commission structure is what separates the tiers: nothing on Standard and Standard Cent, 8 USD per lot on Prime and 4 USD per lot on Pro. On the funding side the brand charges no deposit fee on any method. Withdrawals are mostly free, with exceptions: international bank transfers carry a 35 USD fee, SEPA withdrawals carry a 10 USD fee, and crypto withdrawals pass on network gas costs on smaller amounts.

LIRUNEX Leverage

Headline leverage reaches 1:1000. That figure applies to the offshore side of the business. A retail client of the CySEC authorised Cyprus firm cannot be offered it, because European retail leverage on major currency pairs is capped far below that level.

LIRUNEX Trading Platforms

MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 are both offered, each on Windows, macOS, iOS and Android, with browser access through the brand's own WebTrader and Expert Advisor support on both. MetaTrader 5 additionally carries the platform's 21 charting timeframes and one click trading. There is no separate proprietary desktop terminal on record.

LIRUNEX Deposits and Withdrawals

Deposits start at 25 USD on cards, local bank transfer, crypto and wallets, and withdrawals start at 20 USD. Cards cover Visa and Mastercard, credited within 24 hours in and returned in 7 to 10 banking days out. Bank transfers cover local, SEPA and international routes, with local transfers instant, SEPA in 1 to 2 banking days and international in 5 to 7 banking days; international deposits start at 1,000 USD. Crypto covers USDT on TRC20, ERC20 and BEP20, USDC on ERC20 and a BitPay channel, with instant deposits and withdrawals inside 24 hours. Wallet options are Apple Pay, Google Pay and Skrill.

LIRUNEX Support

Support is reachable at support@lirunex.com, by live chat during business hours and on WhatsApp, with a stated response target of 24 hours. Eleven languages are covered, including English, both written forms of Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, Thai, Malay, Khmer, Spanish, Portuguese and French, which reflects where the brand actually sells.

LIRUNEX Pros and Cons

In its favour: a genuine CySEC authorisation behind the European sites, a confirmed Mauritius dealing licence, both MetaTrader platforms across every major device, low entry minimums, a 4 USD per lot commission on the Pro tier, no deposit fees, and broad language coverage.

Against it: the Cyprus licence does not cover the global sites most clients sign up on, the number the brand advertises for Mauritius is a company status licence rather than the dealing authorisation, the Labuan permission is intermediary only, the UAE registration expressly excludes trading, leverage of 1:1000 carries very real risk of rapid loss, and international bank withdrawals cost 35 USD.

LIRUNEX Review and Assessment

LIRUNEX is a real, documented business with a licensed European arm and a licensed Mauritius dealer, offered through a familiar platform set at low cost of entry. The single question that decides everything for a prospective client is which company the account is opened with. Check the website you are signing up on against the entity named in the client agreement before depositing, because the protections described for the Cyprus firm do not travel to the global sites, and the leverage available there is not available under European rules for a reason.
