Comparing the Spreads of Different Forex Brokers

We periodically survey the Web pages of various forex brokers. If they provide information on their spreads, we include them here. We do not verify the accuracy of the information they provide. Please note that some spreads are variable, while some are guaranteed, while still others are guaranteed with exceptions. Where applicable, we list typical day-time market spreads. Blank entries either indicate the currency pair is not traded on the platform, or that no spread information on the currency pair is provided.
