Your broker is your gateway to the Egyptian Exchange — it executes your buy and sell orders. Choosing well saves you costs and hassle. This is a criteria guide — not a recommendation of any specific firm.

1. Licensing & regulation (non-negotiable)

Make sure the firm is licensed by the Financial Regulatory Authority (FRA) and a member of the Egyptian Exchange. This protects your money and rights. Never deal with an unlicensed entity.

2. Commissions & fees

Compare the trading commission (a percentage of trade value) and any custody or withdrawal fees. A small commission difference compounds with frequent trading. Ask about the minimum commission per order.

3. Platform & app quality

A fast, reliable web and mobile platform matters a lot, especially in active sessions. Try the app before committing: ease of placing an order, clarity of the portfolio, stability of live prices.

4. Minimum account & deposit methods

Minimums and deposit/withdrawal methods vary by firm. Choose what fits your capital and offers payment methods convenient for you.

5. Customer service & support

When there's an issue with an order or a deposit, you need fast support. Read user experiences and test response speed before depositing large amounts.

6. Research tools

Some firms provide research and reports. But you can always strengthen your decision with independent tools: the stock analysis pages and the EGX AI Analyzer give you technical and fundamental analysis for every stock.

Important note

egxbot is an informational analytics service and does not execute trades; actual execution happens through your licensed broker. After choosing a broker, learn the steps to buy your first stock.
