KVB Kunlun offers three types of accounts namely Standard, Premium Standard, and CounterStar. A demo account is also available. The minimum deposit for the standard account is $100 while that for premium standard and CounterStar is $4000 and $12000 respectively. This means that their minimum deposit requirements are higher than most brokers in their category.

When it comes to maximum leverage, this broker offers 1:200 which low when compared to the industry average. While low leverage is good for new traders, it is somehow limiting to experienced traders.

All the three types of accounts are equipped with two trading platforms namely ForexStar and MetaTrader 4. For the record, ForexStar is similar to MT4 only that it is customized to match their brand.

KVB Kunlun offers variable spreads with a minimum of 2.8 pips for the standard account, 1.8 pips for the premium standard account and 0.8 pips for the CounterStar account. When compared to the industry average, these spreads are higher meaning that this is an expensive broker.

This broker also adopts the STP model where brokerage fee is included in the spread, which explains why their spreads are a bit wider than the average. The STP approach is better than the market maker model given that it eliminates the conflict of interest that comes with profiting from taking the opposite direction from a clients' trade.
