Derived from the same confirmed data behind this broker's score (regulation, cost, platforms, deposit minimum) -- not a separate editorial judgment.
Via its CySEC-regulated Cyprus entity, eligible clients are covered by Cyprus's Investor Compensation Fund (ICF) up to €20,000 per person if the firm fails. Via its Seychelles FSA-licensed entity, there is no statutory investor compensation scheme -- if that entity fails, there is no guaranteed fund to recover client money from.
Beyond the headline spread and minimum deposit above. Where our research hasn't independently confirmed a specific detail, we say so rather than guess -- verify directly with the broker before relying on it.
| Account types | One source lists Standard, Union, ECN and Cent tiers for a related/similarly-branded entity, but this wasn't confirmed as applying to the specific CySEC-passported entity reviewed here. Entity identity itself is genuinely unclear across sources -- see the caution above. |
|---|---|
| Execution model | Not confirmed; marketing language claims fast and reliable execution with no model specified. |
| Withdrawals & deposits | One source cites a $50 minimum deposit and no broker-side deposit fee (card processors may charge 1-3%), but its withdrawal-fee information is internally contradictory (showing both a percentage figure and a flat-fee figure) and wasn't resolved. Visa/Mastercard and bank wire are listed as methods; PayPal isn't available, and US clients aren't accepted. |
| Overnight financing (swap) | Not found. |
| Currency conversion cost | Not found. |
| Inactivity fee | Not found. |
| Customer service | Reviews found under a related/similarly-named brand show a strong 4.4-4.5/5 on Trustpilot, with praise for efficient service and fast withdrawals, alongside one unsubstantiated allegation of fake reviews -- but it couldn't be confirmed this Trustpilot page is for the same entity as the one reviewed here. |
| Mobile experience | No App Store or Google Play rating was found; one mention of a branded app exists with no rating attached. |
| Educational offering | Not found with any specific detail. |
