PomeloFX claims to offer four types of trading accounts, namely Standard, Islamic, Raw and ECN. The minimum initial deposit amount is $300 for the Standard, Islamic and Raw accounts, while the ECN account has a much higher minimum initial capital requirement of $500. In comparison, licensed brokers allow setting up a starter account with a minimum deposit of $100 or even less.
