From my in-depth research and direct scrutiny of Tasman FX, I found that this broker is primarily positioned as a market maker regulated in Australia and New Zealand, but the available information does not explicitly clarify whether its spreads are fixed or variable. In my own trading experience, it’s rare for market makers dealing mainly in spot FX and remittance solutions—like Tasman FX—to offer truly fixed spreads, especially under all market conditions. Traditionally, fixed spreads are more likely with brokers focusing on retail forex trading platforms that advertise such a feature for predictability. Given Tasman FX’s business model, current regulatory profile, and their focus on global payments rather than leveraged margin trading, I would approach this broker expecting variable spreads, particularly during periods of heightened market volatility such as news releases. During these times, I personally anticipate wider spreads due to natural liquidity constraints and risk adjustments made by most market makers. Although some user reviews praise the platform for being beginner-friendly with low fees, there is little precise feedback about spread behavior under volatile conditions. As a precaution, and consistent with best YMYL practices, I’d advise any trader not to rely on stable spreads with Tasman FX during major news events. Before trading, I would always recommend confirming their spread policy in writing and conducting trades in low-risk environments first to directly observe spread behaviors.
