A newly launched broker regulated in Mauritius, evaluated here on the same criteria as our other listings: regulation, cost, platforms, and track record.
TabTrade's homepage.
TabTrade is a newly launched broker that publicly entered the market in 2025. TabTrade (Mauritius) Ltd holds an Investment Dealer licence (SEC-2.1B, Full Service Dealer excluding Underwriting) from the Financial Services Commission of Mauritius, granted 02/07/2026; we’ve independently confirmed this listing directly on the FSC’s own Online Public Register. This is the broker’s primary regulatory credential at time of writing. TabTrade does not currently hold a Tier-1 licence (FCA, ASIC, CySEC, or equivalent), and states these are still in progress.
Because TabTrade launched so recently, it doesn’t have the multi-year operating track record most other brokers on this list can point to. That’s a genuine factor worth weighing before you deposit, even though it hasn’t kept the broker from placing highly in our overall ranking.
TabTrade offers a Standard account ($0 minimum deposit, spreads from around 0.01 pips, no commission), an Edge account ($250 minimum, raw spreads plus a per-lot commission), and a VIP tier ($25,000 minimum, negotiable commission). Recent testing puts the Edge account’s EUR/USD average around 0.01 pips, among the tightest raw-tier spreads of any broker we cover.
TabTrade supports MT5, cTrader, and TradingView (as a connected platform), plus WebTrader and mobile apps, a reasonably modern platform lineup for a new entrant, comparable in breadth to several more established brokers on this list.
TabTrade’s placement here reflects a combination of factors: genuinely competitive Edge-account pricing, a modern multi-platform lineup, and a Mauritius FSC licence we’ve independently confirmed on the regulator’s own register, weighed alongside our broader editorial assessment. That combination is real, but so are the caveats: no Tier-1 regulator yet and no multi-year operating history, unlike every other broker on this list. If you’re considering TabTrade, weigh those risk factors directly rather than assuming its position here means they don’t matter, and watch for Tier-1 regulatory progress over time.
