Financial Spread Betting Accounts

Financial Spread Betting companies, unlike CFD and stock brokers, build their commission/trading cost into the spread. Since spread betting firms do not use fixed commissions it is difficult to compare accounts and find the cheapest and most competitive account. We use a unique formula, taking into account spreads for the most popular markets to assist you with choosing the cheapest financial spread betting account.
