Unions Market claims to offer three types of trading accounts, namely Standard, Premium and Professional.
Account Type | Min Deposit |
Standard | €250 |
Premium | €2,500 |
Professional | €25,000 |
Traders holding different account types can enjoy different maximum leverage ratios.
Account Type | Max Leverage |
Standard | 1:100 |
Premium | 1:200 |
Professional | 1:500 |
However, higher leverage means potentially greater profits, but it also comes with increased risks. Be cautious when using high leverage to protect against substantial losses.
Unions Market claims that different account types can enjoy quite different spreads.
Account Type | Spread |
Standard | From 0.1 pips |
Premium | From 1.2 pips |
Professional | From 1.3 pips |
Unions Market offers a web-based trading platform. However, such web-based trading platforms are basic and cost-effective—scammers prefer to avoid spending more on sophisticated, functional platforms like MetaTrader 4 or MetaTrader 5.

Unions Market says to work with numerous means of deposit and withdrawal choices, consisting of credit/debit cards like VISA and MasterCard or bank transfers. On the platform, however, there was no mention of bank transfer and clients could choose between credit cards, Bitcoin and various other cryptocurrencies. We soon found out that even that is not true since the only cryptocurrency that was actually available for deposit was Bitcoin.
The minimum initial deposit requirement is said to be €250, while there is no mention of what the minimum withdrawal amount is.
The broker also charges some withdrawal processing and handling fees, however, it states that it is simply not committed to any time frame.
The typical withdrawal processing time is said to be 5 business days.
Unions Market claims to offer some bonuses. However, the bonus can only be withdrawn when an execution of a minimum trading volume of 25 times the deposit amount plus the bonus issued.
In any case, you should be very cautious if you receive a bonus. First of all, bonuses aren't client funds, they're company funds, and fulfilling the heavy requirements that are usually attached to them can prove a very daunting and difficult task. Remember that brokers who are regulated and legitimate do not offer bonuses to their clients.
