Trive Broker Overview
Trive is a multi asset broker brand whose international site is operated by Trive International Ltd, a company registered in the British Virgin Islands at Sea Meadow House, P.O. Box 116, Road Town, Tortola. It offers CFDs on forex, commodities, indices, shares and cryptocurrencies through MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5, across five account tiers with variable spreads and leverage reaching 1:500 on most tiers and 1:2000 on one.
The same brand is used by separate companies in other markets, including a European site at trive.com operated by Trive Financial Services Europe Ltd, so the company behind an account depends on the site it was opened through.
Trive Regulation and License
For the international business, Trive International Ltd publishes licence SIBA/L/14/1066 from the British Virgin Islands Financial Services Commission. That is the broker's own claim and it is unconfirmed on the regulator's register, so it stands as claimed regulation rather than verified regulation.
Other authorities appear on the brand's pages for other companies in the group: the Malta Financial Services Authority, the Financial Sector Conduct Authority in South Africa under FSP 27231, and the Financial Services Commission of Mauritius under GB21026295. One Australian authorisation is a matter of official record rather than a claim: AFS licence 424122, held by Trive Financial Services Australia Pty Ltd, is shown as ceased on the register of the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, with an end date of 1 July 2026. A licence issued to one company in a group does not cover another.
Is Trive Regulated?
Not in a form that is confirmed for the company behind the international site. Trive International Ltd advertises an offshore British Virgin Islands licence that remains unverified, and the group's European, Maltese, South African and Mauritian companies hold their own authorisations, which do not extend to an account opened on the international site. The one licence in the group that has been checked against an official register, the Australian one, had already ceased.
Is Trive Safe?
The picture is mixed, and regulation is only part of it. In favour: the operating company is named and addressed on its own site, the funding terms are published in detail, and the platforms are mainstream MetaTrader builds running on the broker's own servers. Against: the international entity's only licence claim is an unverified offshore one, the group's Australian authorisation has ceased, and the 1:2000 leverage tier raises the risk carried by every position opened on it. What matters for a client is the company named on the account documents rather than the brand on the website.
Trive Account Types
Five tiers are published on the international site. Standard, Cent and VIP are commission free with leverage up to 1:500, and VIP is the only tier with a stated minimum deposit, at 2,000 USD. ECN Zero also reaches 1:500 and charges 10 USD commission per lot, while Pro Leverage is commission free and reaches 1:2000. A swap free option is published alongside the tiers on the broker's account types page.
Trive Spreads, Commissions and Fees
Spreads are variable rather than fixed, and commission applies on one tier only: 10 USD per lot on ECN Zero, with Standard, Cent, VIP and Pro Leverage commission free. Trive charges nothing of its own to deposit or withdraw, although a card issuer, bank or wallet provider may charge at its end, and withdrawals start at 20 USD.
Trive Leverage
Up to 1:500 on the Standard, Cent, ECN Zero and VIP tiers, and up to 1:2000 on Pro Leverage. The cap follows the account type that is opened.
Trive Trading Platforms
MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5, both on Trive International servers, with desktop builds for Windows and macOS, a browser Webtrader and mobile apps. Trading Central analysis and a MetaTrader booster are offered with both, and installers are published on the broker's MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 pages.
Trive Deposits and Withdrawals
Funding is by Visa and Mastercard, bank transfer, the Skrill, Neteller and Sticpay wallets, and Tether USDT on the ERC20, TRC20 and BEP20 networks together with Binance Pay. Local bank transfers are accepted in Indian rupees, Chinese yuan, Thai baht, Vietnamese dong, Korean won, South African rand and Philippine pesos, and international transfers in US dollars, euros and pounds.
Card, wallet and cryptocurrency withdrawals are processed within 24 hours on business days and bank transfers take 2 to 5 business days. The minimum withdrawal is 20 USD and funds return to the method used for the deposit.
Trive Support
Support is reached by live chat during business hours, by email at support_int@trive.com and by telephone on +44 1460944002, with separate lines for India, South Korea, China, Germany and Türkiye and a published WhatsApp number. Service hours are 24 hours a day, five days a week, in English.
Trive Pros and Cons
Strengths: MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 on the broker's own servers, a named and addressed operating company, detailed funding terms with no deposit or withdrawal fee charged by the broker, a 20 USD withdrawal minimum and a wide range of local transfer currencies.
Limitations: the international entity's regulation rests on an unverified offshore licence claim, the group's Australian authorisation has ceased, leverage reaches 1:2000 on one tier, and only the VIP tier states a minimum deposit.
Trive Review and Assessment
Trive's international arm is a conventional MetaTrader broker with a wide account range and unusually clear funding terms, run from the British Virgin Islands by Trive International Ltd. The weak point is its regulatory standing: the licence it advertises is offshore and unverified, the group's Australian licence has ceased, and the protections attached to the group's onshore companies do not reach an international account. Anyone weighing an account here should establish which company would hold it, and what that company's authorisation actually covers, before funding it.
