Naqdi Group (PTY) LTD

Naqdi is an online trading broker offering access to multiple asset classes including forex, commodities, indices, shares and cryptocurrencies. The company positions itself as catering to both beginners and experienced traders by providing a flexible account structure, high leverage options and an easy onboarding process.

The platform features account tiers such as “Standard”, “Premier” and “Elite”. The Standard tier is presented as an entry-level option with no minimum deposit, commission-free trades and spreads beginning around 1.4 pips. The “Premier” tier is aimed at more active traders with tighter spreads (as low as 0.9 pips) and additional tools. The Elite tier advertises raw spreads (0.0 pips in some cases), commission structure (for example, US$2.5 per standard lot per side) and high-volume trading benefits. Leverage of up to 1 : 500 is advertised across account types.

Naqdi claims to use a “pure STP (Straight Through Processing)” execution model with no dealing desk intervention, and it offers a “copy-trading” feature for users to follow and replicate other traders’ actions in real-time. Swap-free (Islamic) account options are also promoted. The broker emphasises fast execution, Tier 1 liquidity providers, mobile access via trading apps and around-the-clock availability of markets.

On the one hand, some clients highlight positive aspects such as responsive account managers, user-friendly mobile apps and fast deposit processes. For instance, one reviewer mentioned: “the instant chat … game changer … the communication is top-notch.” Conversely, other reviews allege serious issues: delays or refusals in withdrawals, poor support in resolving trade disputes, and claims of misleading promotions. One user wrote: “Another fraudulent broker! They place a delay on orders … giving the excuse …”

Regarding regulatory status and oversight, external sources advise caution. While Naqdi suggests it is regulated in certain jurisdictions, verification of licences and regulatory protections is not straightforward. Given the presence of higher-risk features—such as large leverage, aggressive marketing of “zero-spread” accounts and crypto payments—potential users are encouraged to carry out independent due diligence.

In summary, Naqdi presents a full-featured CFD trading proposition with broad market access and advanced account options. However, given the concerns raised in user reviews and the ambiguity around regulatory oversight, any decision to trade with them should involve careful research, small initial exposure, clear understanding of risk (especially with leveraged products) and con
