What is a Professional Account?

A Plus500 Professional Account is available to traders who meet the regulatory threshold to opt up from Retail Client to Elective Professional Client. Professional accounts are not subject to ESMA’s new leverage restrictions. Learn More.

Elective Professional Clients get to keep the current protections offered to our Retail Clients such as Client Money protection, Negative Balance protection, access to the Financial Ombudsman Service (the “FOS”) and Best Execution.

How to Change Back to Retail?

Clients with a Professional Account have the right to request at any time to return to a Retail Account, by contacting our Customer Support team via email or chat.
