PU Prime Review

PU Prime has grown quickly by leaning into two things: a ladder of accounts that suits almost any balance, and a copy trading network built straight into its mobile app. This PU Prime review looks at what each tier costs, where the broker is actually licensed for most clients, and the regulatory warnings that come attached to the brand.

Company Snapshot

The broker was founded in 2015 and traded as Pacific Union before adopting the PU Prime name. It now operates through a network of companies: PU Prime Limited in Seychelles, PU Prime Ltd in Mauritius, PU Prime (Pty) Ltd in South Africa, PU Prime Financial Services LLC in the United Arab Emirates and PU Prime Trading Pty Ltd in Australia. Which one you deal with depends on where you live and how you were onboarded.

Licences: The Offshore Reality

For clients outside Australia, the UK and the EU, the contracting firm is normally PU Prime Limited, a securities dealer licensed by the Seychelles FSA under SD050. The other licences are:

• FSC Mauritius investment dealer licence GB23202672
• FSCA licence 52218 in South Africa
• UAE Capital Market Authority registration 20200000388, limited to introduction and promotion
• ASIC AFSL 410681 for Australian clients, although the Australian business closed to new registrations in June 2026

Regulators in several countries have published warnings that the firm is not authorised there, including the UK’s FCA and the Danish FSA, whose notices name Pacific Union Seychelles Limited, as well as Canadian authorities. No government-backed compensation scheme is named for the Seychelles entity. Taken together, we classify PU Prime’s global offer as offshore. US and Canadian residents are not accepted.

Account Tiers Compared

• Cent: from $20 equivalent, balances in US cents, no commission, ideal for testing strategies with tiny positions.
• Standard: $50 minimum, spreads from 1.3 pips advertised, with one review recording a EUR/USD average closer to 1.9 pips, and no commission.
• Prime: $1,000 minimum, raw spreads from 0.0 pips plus $3.50 per side, or $7 per round turn.
• ECN: $10,000 minimum, the same raw spreads with a much lower $1 per side commission.

Swap-free versions exist for Cent, Standard and Prime, but not ECN. Leverage on the Seychelles entity reaches 1:1000 on major and minor currency pairs and gold, 500:1 on major indices and most energies, and far less on exotics, silver, bonds and ETFs.

Copy Trading as the Centrepiece

PU Copy Trading sits inside the PU Prime App, and the broker cites more than 150,000 copiers and around 32,000 signal providers. A separate app, PU Social, offers another route to follow strategies. Traders who prefer to run their own systems can use MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5 or the PU Web Trader. The instrument list covers around 55 currency pairs, hundreds of share CFDs, about 31 indices, metals, energies and soft commodities, ETFs and bonds. Standalone crypto CFDs are not part of the global offering, though one review lists crypto products for the Australian entity.

Copy trading convenience comes with its own risks: one user dispute reported in March 2026 involved a margin call on a copied position, a reminder that followers carry the full loss on any strategy they mirror.

Deposits, Withdrawals and Service

Bank transfers, cards, e-wallets and crypto are all supported, and PU Prime does not charge its own deposit or withdrawal fees, although intermediary banks may. Withdrawals are generally processed internally within a day, then take one to seven business days to arrive, with international wires at the slower end. Support is available around the clock in 18 languages by live chat, email and phone. One review advises checking the broker’s withdrawal track record, and Trustpilot is currently withholding PU Prime’s score for a guideline breach.

Who It Suits

PU Prime fits traders in emerging markets who want copy trading, a low-cost Cent account to start and a clear upgrade path to raw ECN pricing. Those who place regulatory protection first, or live in the UK, EU or Canada, should look elsewhere.

Followers of copy trading strategies inherit every loss as well as every gain, so allocate only money you are prepared to lose.
