Frequently Asked Questions
Is Orbex regulated?
Yes. Orbex is authorised by CySEC, issued to the entity Orbex Ltd, an authorisation you can look up for yourself on the official CySEC public register.
What is the minimum deposit for Orbex in Lithuania?
The cover charge is $200, the smallest amount Lithuania traders need to open a live account with Orbex under CySEC rules.
What leverage does Orbex offer in Lithuania?
In Lithuania, CySEC rules cap Orbex at 1:30 on forex pairs. A larger pour is sometimes available through offshore-regulated entities, with thinner protection to match.
Is Orbex safe to trade with?
The kitchen passes inspection: Orbex cooks under CySEC. A tier-1 regulator insists on segregated client money, negative balance protection and independent audits, while lighter offshore regimes offer weaker cover and often no compensation scheme. That does not make trading risk-free, so check which entity holds your account and what protections actually apply before you deposit.
