About Us

Who is behind this independent Plus500 review resource for UG - and how we work.

Who we are

This site is an independent editorial project that reviews Plus500 from the perspective of traders in UG. We are not Plus500 and we are not affiliated with the broker - the name is used only to identify the service under review. Our goal is simple: give readers a clear, honest picture of what opening and running an account actually looks like, including the parts a broker's own marketing tends to leave out.

The editorial lead

Helen Merrick - Cost Analyst. Former pricing analyst turned retail trader; obsessive about basis points. Helen Merrick sets the editorial direction of this site: every page follows the same standard - plain language, verifiable facts, and a clear verdict on who the service suits and who it does not. Meet the full editorial team and see who covers what.

How we review

Our reviews are grounded in verifiable sources: regulator registers and alert lists, the broker's own legal documents and published trading conditions, and independent user-review platforms such as Trustpilot. Every page shows its publication date; when the underlying facts change, we update the page - and the date with it.

Affiliate disclosure & independence

Some links on this site are partner links: if you open an account with a regulated alternative we recommend, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This never changes our assessment of Plus500 - the facts on these pages stay the same whether or not you use those links. Nothing here is financial advice; always confirm that a broker is authorised to serve clients in your country before depositing money.
