What our approach means in practice.
Less about what we say, more about what you actually get: fair pricing you can verify, execution built to perform, funding and withdrawals treated as part of the product, and real people when you need them.
What our approach means in practice.
Fair pricing, clearly explained
Trading costs should be clear before you trade.
Base charges USD 2 per side — USD 4 round turn per standard lot — on FX. Where some brokers charge approximately USD 7 round turn and later return part through rebates or volume tiers, we provide a competitive rate from the first trade.
A headline spread “from 0.0” does not tell you the liquidity available, the size that can be executed or the total cost of trading. We focus on competitive spreads, transparent commission and credible liquidity.
Fair pricing should be clear and verifiable.
Execution designed to perform when it matters
A tight headline spread is of little value if there is no meaningful liquidity behind it or execution deteriorates as soon as the market starts moving.
Our focus is on credible liquidity, professional dealing oversight and an execution environment designed for genuine market activity — not simply displaying an attractive price.
A price is only as good as the fill behind it.
Funding and withdrawals treated as part of the product
Funding an account should be straightforward. Withdrawing from it should not require a negotiation.
We treat payment access, client-money handling and withdrawal readiness as central parts of the brokerage experience.
A broker should be as prepared to return client funds as it is to receive them.
Real people when you need them
Technology should make service faster and more efficient, not make it impossible to reach somebody capable of solving a problem.
Clients should not have to send repeated emails, argue with a chatbot or explain the same issue to four different people.
Our aim is to provide responsive, human support with clear ownership and access to people who understand the trading environment.
Real support means reaching a real person.
Competitive from the first trade.

competitive from the first trade — no rebate games
Where some brokers charge a higher starting rate and hand part back later through rebates, tiers or special arrangements, Base starts competitive and stays clear about the total cost of trading.
Not every trader is our client.
Base may not be the obvious choice for someone searching for the largest bonus, the loudest campaign or the most enthusiastic use of a Lamborghini in financial advertising. We are building Base for people who care more about the trading environment than the theatre surrounding it.
Active traders
Who value clear pricing, execution quality and responsive service.
Serious clients
Who expect their broker to understand their activity and take responsibility for the relationship.
Introducers & affiliates
Who need a broker they can confidently recommend — transparent terms, commercial flexibility and real people on the other end.
We do not promise that trading is easy. We do not promise that opening an account will miraculously transform your lifestyle.
We do promise to be clear about what we charge and to take the responsibility of being your broker seriously.
Experience matters.
Opening a brokerage website is relatively easy. Building a credible brokerage is not.
It requires people who understand the market, the technology, the regulation and the operational work that sits behind every client account and every executed trade.
The Base Markets team brings experience from established, regulated brokers and financial-services businesses across multiple areas of the industry. We are not assembling Base from theory — we are applying what our team has learned from working inside credible brokerage businesses and improving the areas where we believe the industry can do better.
Regulation is the starting point, not the entire story.
Base Markets operates as a regulated brokerage and is required to meet the legal, regulatory and operating standards applicable to its business.
Regulation provides the formal framework within which we operate. Credibility also depends on how a broker handles client funds, manages risk, communicates its terms, supports withdrawals and takes responsibility for the experience it provides.
Our objective is to support that regulatory framework through professional standards, clear accountability and a long-term approach to the business.
Base Markets is a company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Mauritius under company number 223521 and is regulated by the Financial Services Commission Mauritius under licence number GB25204723.
