I’m Fatima from Al Ain (UAE) and I’ve been trading mostly major FX pairs and a bit of gold. Overall my experience with Alrajhi has been positive. Depositing from my local bank account was straightforward and the balance reflected without any confusing steps. Execution feels stable for the way I trade (mostly swing trades and holding overnight). Spreads aren’t always the tightest compared to some international platforms, but I’m paying for the convenience and the familiar local banking flow, which matters to me. The only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is the platform/app experience. It can feel a bit heavy during busy market hours, and I’d love clearer order/position details (especially when reviewing past trades and fees). Support was polite when I asked about account documentation, but the answers felt a little templated. Still, for a UAE-based trader who values straightforward funding and a more traditional setup, it’s been dependable so far.

Reliable execution on Alrajhi

Spreads were competitive during London session and I had no major slippage issues on major pairs. Mobile app works well for monitoring positions.

Steady experience for my day-to-day trades

I’m Priya from Mumbai and I’ve been using this broker mainly for EUR/USD and XAU/USD alongside a few swing positions. Overall it’s been a stable experience with clean execution and the app feels reliable during normal market hours. Funding was straightforward on my side and the balance updated quickly after I completed the steps. The reason I’m not giving 5 stars is because the platform tools feel a bit basic for charting, so I still rely on TradingView for analysis. Also, I had one small question about account verification and it took longer than expected to get a clear reply, but once support responded they resolved it. If you want something consistent and not overly complicated, it’s been fine for me so far.

Reliable execution and clear statements, but onboarding took time

I trade mostly major FX pairs and a bit of gold, and overall my experience has been solid. Platform stability has been good during the London session, and I like that the account statements and trade confirmations are easy to follow. The main downside for me was the initial setup: verification and account activation felt slower than I expected, and I had to follow up once to confirm a document was accepted. After that, day-to-day trading has been smooth. Spreads are generally reasonable on majors, but I still see them widen noticeably around high-impact news, so I avoid placing tight stops during those minutes. Support was polite and professional when I contacted them, but I would appreciate faster turnaround for non-urgent questions. Overall I’m comfortable keeping part of my trading capital here, just with realistic expectations about onboarding and peak-volatility conditions.

Good for basic trading, but support feels slow on important queries

Using Alrajhi Standard account from Gurugram for about 6 months. Deposited through debit card (Visa) and it was instant. I trade mainly GBP/USD and USD/JPY, sometimes EUR/GBP on short-term setups. Platform stability is fine and order placement is mostly smooth. Spreads are okay in normal hours, but I’ve seen spreads widen a lot on GBP pairs near market open and during big UK data, which affects stops. My issue was more with support and withdrawals. I made two withdrawals to my ICICI bank account. One came next day, second one took 48+ hours and I had to email twice to get confirmation. Support eventually responded, but not fast enough when money is stuck in “pending.” Overall experience is mixed: decent for regular days, but they need faster ticket handling and more transparent withdrawal status updates.
