Plus500 review 2026: fees and key features

Plus500 CFD offers contracts for difference linked to asset prices through its trading platform. The contract provides price exposure rather than ownership of the underlying asset. Costs include the buy/sell spread, with funding potentially applying after an instrument-specific cutoff. Guaranteed stops are limited to supported instruments and carry a wider spread. The Israeli service is described under Plus500IL; Plus500UK terms are considered separately. Leveraged trading can rapidly exhaust invested funds. Plus500 Invest and the US futures service are different offerings.

Keep in mind

Contracts for difference are complex, high-risk instruments and generally do not give you ownership of the underlying asset.

About the service

Plus500 provides CFD trading (brokerage).

Products and plans

  • Plus500 CFD: contracts for difference

    Trading contracts for difference through Plus500 provides price exposure without ownership of the underlying asset. Spreads, funding, margin and closing-order conditions depend on the instrument and entity. Israeli facts concern Plus500IL; UK facts are labelled separately. This product is neither Plus500 Invest nor a US Futures account. Leveraged trading carries a risk of rapidly losing invested funds.

Fit for your needs

Who it suits

  • For someone who requires ownership of shares or ETF units.

Costs and service terms

Product type
Contracts for difference (CFDs).

Exposure follows price movements under the contract without ownership of the underlying asset. Plus500 Invest is a separate service.

Israeli entity and counterparty
Plus500IL Ltd acts as transaction counterparty.

The Israeli page reports an Israel Securities Authority trading-platform licence. The licence does not certify the investment as safe or recommended and does not provide personal account approval.

Separate dealing commission
The Israeli page lists no separate buy or sell commission.

The spread is included in quoted prices. Overnight funding, a wider spread for a guaranteed stop and other account or payment costs may apply.

Bid–ask spread
The spread is included in trading quotes.

Instrument-specific spreads are shown in instrument details. No fixed spread or live quote is stated here.

Overnight funding in Israel
A debit or credit after the instrument-specific cutoff.

For shares, the Israeli page uses an average price from the last quote 60 minutes before funding; for other instruments it shows the opening rate. Check the rate and cutoff for each instrument.

Guaranteed stop
Available on certain instruments with a wider spread.

The order is available on a new position during the instrument's trading hours, within permitted distances. Once placed, it cannot be cancelled; its level may be adjusted within the permitted range. The additional spread is displayed in advance and is not refunded after activation.

Inactivity in Israel
Up to USD 10 per month after at least three months without a login.

Collection is limited to available funds in the real-money account. The Israeli page says a login is sufficient to avoid the charge; opening a trade is unnecessary.

Deposits and withdrawals in Israel
The Israeli page says Plus500 does not charge deposit or withdrawal fees.

A bank or payment provider may charge transfer or conversion fees. This does not establish a processing time, minimum amount or particular payment method.

Trade conversion: UK terms only
Up to 0.7% of realised net profit or loss.

The UK provision concerns an instrument denominated differently from the account currency. It is not a percentage of exposure and is not presented as a Plus500IL tariff; the rate may change.
