Windsor Brokers Broker Overview
Windsor Brokers is a forex and CFD brand used by the Windsor group of companies on windsorbrokers.com, for clients outside the USA, the United Kingdom, Europe and a number of other restricted countries. The broker says it was established in 1988. Its Seychelles company, Windsor Brokers International Ltd, offers its services to the rest of the world except the USA and the EEA, and the website names three further group companies in Jordan, Kenya and the British Virgin Islands; all four hold licences that were confirmed on their regulators' registers in October 2026. Clients trade CFDs on forex, shares, indices, commodities and cryptocurrencies, among other markets, on MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5, with four live account types and dynamic leverage of up to 1:2000.
Windsor Brokers Regulation and License
Each of the four investment companies named in the footer of windsorbrokers.com holds its own licence, and each licence below was confirmed on the regulator's own register on 24 October 2026:
- Windsor Brokers International Ltd (Seychelles): the Seychelles Financial Services Authority (FSA) lists the company as a securities dealer, with windsorbrokers.com as its website. The licence number, SD072, comes from the broker's own site.
- Windsor Markets (Kenya) Limited: holds licence 156 from the Capital Markets Authority (CMA) of Kenya, which lists it as a non-dealing online foreign exchange broker, for its clients in Kenya.
- Seldon Investments Limited (Jordan): listed by the Jordan Securities Commission (JSC), as Seldon Investments Jordan, among firms licensed to deal in foreign exchanges as a financial broker for the account of others, introducing broker and financial adviser, for its clients in Jordan. The number 1265 that the broker gives for this company is its registration number with the Companies Control Department, not a licence number.
- Windsor Global Markets Ltd (British Virgin Islands): listed by the BVI Financial Services Commission as a currently regulated entity for dealing as agent, in an entry dated 31 August 2026, with no licence number published. The broker's legal pages publish no client agreement for this company.
Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) licence 030/04, effective from 20 May 2004, is a Cyprus Investment Firm licence held by a separate company, WB Trade EU Ltd (formerly Windsor Brokers Ltd), which serves EU clients only, at wbtrade.eu. CySEC's register confirmed it on 24 October 2026, but it does not cover windsorbrokers.com, which takes no clients in the EEA.
Is Windsor Brokers Regulated?
Yes. Windsor Brokers' group companies hold licences in Seychelles, Kenya, Jordan and the British Virgin Islands that were confirmed on the regulators' own registers on 24 October 2026, though none of these regulators is in the EU, the UK or the USA. Which licence applies depends on the company named in the client's agreement, and terms differ between the companies, as the leverage and product limits below show.
Windsor Brokers International Ltd
Windsor Brokers International Ltd is the Seychelles company that takes most international clients of windsorbrokers.com and the contracting party in the broker's Seychelles client agreement; the broker's other published client agreements are with Seldon Investments Limited (Jordan) and Windsor Markets (Kenya) Limited. The broker gives the company's registration number as 8425783-1, and its listing in the Seychelles FSA's licensee directory was confirmed on 24 October 2026. The website itself is owned and operated by WIT IT Solutions Ltd, a Cypriot company whose number the broker gives as HE 383796, and the broker names it and WB Global Ltd (HE 343423) as payment services facilitators for the group.
Is Windsor Brokers Safe?
Safety at Windsor Brokers depends on the group company that holds the account, and a confirmed licence is not on its own a guarantee. No statutory compensation scheme covers clients of Windsor Brokers International Ltd or Windsor Global Markets Ltd. Cyprus's Investor Compensation Fund covers eligible retail clients of WB Trade EU Ltd, up to 20,000 EUR in total per client for eligible claims and never investment losses, but it does not extend to windsorbrokers.com clients. The Seychelles client agreement lets a client refer an unresolved complaint to the Seychelles FSA, but it also lets the company withhold or reject a withdrawal in listed cases, such as open positions, a dispute or a payment to a third party, and its terms on funding costs and withdrawal times are stricter than the website's.
Windsor Brokers Account Types
Windsor Brokers offers four live accounts:
- Prime: spreads from 1.0 pips and a 50 USD minimum deposit, which the help centre calls a recommended minimum.
- Zero: raw spreads from 0.0 pips and a minimum deposit of 1,000 USD, EUR or GBP (150,000 for a JPY account), with one-to-one training sessions included.
- ZERO VIP: spreads from 0.0 pips, opened by application with an individually set minimum deposit, a dedicated account manager and one-to-one sessions with the broker's analysts.
- CENT: trading in US cents on MT5 from 1 USD, which the broker says is available only in some regions.
Accounts can be held in USD, EUR, GBP or JPY, and the accounts page lists hedging and a swap-free option on Prime, Zero and ZERO VIP. The Loyalty Programme page sets the swap-free period by loyalty tier, which rises with the lots a client trades: up to 7 days at Silver, 14 days at Gold (one tab of the same page shows 7) and unlimited at Platinum and Diamond, on selected assets and subject to regional or regulatory restrictions. Crypto CFDs are not available to clients of Seldon Investments Limited (Jordan) or Windsor Markets (Kenya) Limited, or to residents of Jordan, Palestine and Iraq. A free demo account comes with up to 50,000 USD in virtual funds.
Windsor Brokers Spreads, Commissions and Fees
Prime charges no commission on forex, Zero charges 8 USD and ZERO VIP 5 USD per lot round turn, and the CENT account is advertised with zero commissions. The broker's pages disagree on crypto CFDs: the accounts page shows 0 USD on Prime and 5 USD on ZERO VIP, while the FAQ on the VIP account page, dated February 2026, gives 8 USD for both. Swap-free accounts pay storage instead of swaps, which the help centre describes as a fixed fee that is always charged, applied daily to positions held open overnight and for three days on positions held open on a Friday. The Seychelles client agreement also applies an administration charge when an account with a balance below 50 USD is closed, and the remaining balance is not refunded.
Windsor Brokers Leverage
Prime, Zero and ZERO VIP offer dynamic leverage of up to 1:2000, depending on the group company and the instrument traded. Clients of Windsor Markets (Kenya) Limited are capped at 1:400, and clients of Seldon Investments Limited (Jordan) at 1:100 on forex, currencies and metals CFDs and 1:500 on other CFDs. The broker publishes no leverage figure for the CENT account.
Windsor Brokers Trading Platforms
Windsor Brokers offers MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 as desktop programs, Android and iOS apps and WebTrader, with downloads and web access inside the WB Portal after login. It lists no Mac version of its own and points Mac users to the developer's own Mac options. WB Copy Trading, the broker's own copy trading service, lets Followers copy Providers for a performance fee charged on profit above the high-water mark, and is offered to clients of Windsor Brokers International Ltd and Windsor Markets (Kenya) Limited. The separate WB Mobile App handles account management and funding, and the broker states that it is not a trading platform.
Windsor Brokers Deposits and Withdrawals
The funding page lists Visa, Mastercard, Maestro, bank transfer, Skrill and Neteller, and the help centre adds WebMoney; further methods appear in the WB Portal depending on the client's country. Card and e-wallet deposits are shown as same day and bank transfers as 1 to 7 working days. Card withdrawals cost 3 USD, EUR or GBP per transaction, fees for bank, Skrill and Neteller withdrawals are shown as variable, and the help centre sets no minimum withdrawal beyond the payment providers' own limits. Withdrawals must go back to the card, e-wallet or bank account used to deposit.
The broker's statements on costs and timing conflict. The funding page calls deposits free of charge and says withdrawals are processed within one working day, and the ZERO VIP page promises 0 USD fees on deposits and withdrawals. The Seychelles client agreement says deposit and withdrawal costs are borne by the client (clause 29.2) and that withdrawals are generally processed within a few business days, with larger ones needing up to 7 days (clauses 29.3 and 29.4).
Windsor Brokers Support
Windsor Brokers offers live chat on its website, email at support@windsorbrokers.com and phone support through a contact line (+44 1145519650) and office numbers in Seychelles, Jordan and Kenya. Its contact page promises support 24/7, while its help centre says support runs 24 hours a day, Monday to Friday. Formal complaints are acknowledged in writing within two working days, and the Seychelles client agreement sets a final response within 21 business days, or up to 90 days for complex cases.

Windsor Brokers Review and Assessment
Windsor Brokers offers MetaTrader trading with a choice of commission-free and raw-spread pricing to clients outside the USA, the UK and Europe, through group companies whose licences in Seychelles, Kenya, Jordan and the British Virgin Islands were confirmed on the regulators' registers in October 2026. Before funding an account, check which group company your agreement is with and read its deposit and withdrawal clauses, because they give the company more room than the headline claims on the website suggest.
