FBS shows up when people want a small first deposit on MetaTrader. A $5–$100 door is a test, not proof the book is kind. Several entities use the logo; only the one on your contract matters.
Bonus pages are marketing — they usually restrict withdrawals. Demo both MT4 and MT5 if offered, then try a tiny live clip and a withdrawal before you scale. If the register search fails, stop even if the minimum is tiny.
Snapshot (confirm live)
Typical cost: accessible accounts. Min. deposit: often cited $5–$100*. Regulation: check the entity you open. Platforms: MT4 / MT5. Withdrawals: often e-wallet first; bank rails vary by entity.
What we can actually check
- The company name on the contract vs a public register.
- Whether a bonus, if you take one, changes withdrawal rules.
- Whether MT4 and MT5 (if both exist) share the same symbol spec.
- Whether a tiny live clip and a payout complete.
Who this note is for
People who want a small test size on MetaTrader. For education-led onboarding compare XM. For raw-style cost see IC Markets.
What we skip
Bonus banners as a ranking factor. A small minimum is not a safety rating.

This note sits in the ten-desk research index so each broker has a URL Google can crawl on its own. Use that index to pick a second name, then compare on the same account type.
