INFINOX has two account types: STP and ECN. They differ in whether a trading commission applies and in how narrow the spread is.
STP has no commission and spreads from 0.9 pips. ECN has spreads from 0.2 pips, with a separate commission (this site's broker page, confirmed 14 August 2026). The official FAQ gives the minimum deposit as USD 50, or the equivalent in the base currency. This article shows how to choose by trading style and what to check before you register.
In short: INFINOX offers two account types, STP and ECN
- STP account: no trading commission. Variable spreads from 0.9 pips on major currency pairs
- ECN account: variable spreads from 0.2 pips on major currency pairs. A trading commission is charged separately
- Both: maximum leverage 1:1000, minimum 0.01 lot, MT4 and MT5 supported
- Minimum deposit: USD 50 or the equivalent, per the official FAQ. No amount by account type is stated

INFINOX STP vs ECN: compare the cost including commission
An STP account builds the trading cost into the spread. The spread you see is the cost, so the maths is simple.
An ECN account narrows the spread and charges a commission separately. If you compare only the spread figure with STP, ECN looks cheaper.
For ECN, compare the real cost after adding the commission. This site's broker page lists the commission as from $5 per lot. It may change with your account settings, so check the final amount in your client area.
Spreads are variable. They can widen with market conditions, the instrument, the platform and liquidity. Read the figures in the table as a guide to the minimum.

INFINOX minimum deposit: the official FAQ's USD 50 and how to confirm it
The official FAQ (confirmed 17 October 2026) gives the minimum deposit as USD 50, or the equivalent in the base currency. The account types page does not state an amount by account.
Conditions may change with the deposit method or currency. The display in the client area is the reference.

It shows the available deposit methods, the minimum amount and the currency. Also check that conditions do not differ by account type.
- 03Ask official support if anything is unclear
If no minimum is shown, confirm it through the Japanese help centre or support before you deposit.
INFINOX bonus account: how it relates to STP and ECN
The official account types page lists two accounts, STP and ECN. A separate account type called a bonus account is not stated on that page.
A bonus is a deposit credit campaign, not an account type. The 20% deposit credit from 15 August to 31 December 2026 applies to MT4 and MT5 STP accounts, ECN accounts and ZERO accounts (this site's offer data, confirmed 15 August).
According to information confirmed by this site, the bonus account is also designed to keep spreads tight. The official page gives no figure, so we do not state a specific value. The specifications of the ZERO account are also not stated on the official account types page.

Who suits INFINOX STP and who suits ECN?
- If you want simple cost tracking, the STP account
- If you are a beginner who wants to start with no trading commission, the STP account
- If you value narrow spreads and can calculate the cost including commission, the ECN account
- If you trade often and want to decide by comparing real costs, the ECN account
If you are unsure, one approach is to start with STP and get used to the flow of trading. Once your trade count or lot size grows, you can review it against the real cost of ECN.
INFINOX has two account types, STP and ECN, and no Cent account is stated. If you want to keep your trade size even smaller, first check whether the minimum of 0.01 lot is enough.
