Financial strength and security
We are the trading provider with rock-solid foundations. And with our substantial capital resources, we have the power to innovate and push the industry forward.
A history of trust
As a wholly-owned brand of StoneX Group Inc. — a NASDAQ-listed company with assets of over $15.2 billion and a track record of 100+ years — we are part of the DNA of the financial networks that provide institutional-grade platforms and end-to-end clearing and execution to some of the biggest financial bodies in the world.
Strength in numbers
With more than a billion dollars in available cash and liquidity, we can invest in cutting-edge products to give you an unrivalled trading experience.
As part of our commitment to transparency, we’re happy to disclose our financial information.
How we keep your money safe
All retail client money is fully segregated from our own funds and held in separate accounts with top-tier banks in the unlikely event of FOREX.com undergoing liquidation.
We also only use our own funds for hedging and never engage in proprietary trading.
Furthermore, we are a member of the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). In the event of liquidation, clients may be compensated up to £120,000 by the FSCS.
Client margin
For individual accounts, client margin is continuously calculated in real-time, and in the event of a margin call, it is escalated to the client or liquidated automatically (differently for retail, professional or institutional clients), based on selected policy on the account (biggest loser or complete close).
The liquidation of a losing position is automatic, giving you the best possible rate available on the market. Stops and limits are also monitored and executed in real-time, tracing the best rate available on the market at the time when the target price is reached.
All our margin settings are also fully compatible with all existing ICF and other regional regulators and reviewed on regular basis.
Risk management
We believe in and firmly support regulatory oversight, undergo regular audits and communicate certain changes to our clients.
We continually review procedures across various areas of our business which include:
- Business continuity and disaster recovery
- Risk management
- Supervision of electronic trading systems (i.e. trading platforms)
- Information security
- Anti-money laundering
- Customer complaint
- Trade reporting
