BrokerBazaar verdict
Primary global retail volume is routed through an offshore Vanuatu (VFSC) entity without statutory deposit insurance Higher initial barrier to entry on raw spread trading, requiring a $25,000 minimum deposit for the Infinity tier Standard account floating spreads (starting from 1.8 pips on Pathfinder) are relatively wide compared to ECN peers SWIFT bank wire withdrawals incur a fixed $25 processing surcharge Retail services are strictly unavailable to residents of the United States, Canada, and Japan
Legal entities, regulation and licences
FXGlobe operates through 2 legal entities, each supervised separately. Your account is with one specific entity, so the protections you receive depend on which one onboards you, not on the group's strongest licence. Overall, the group is supervised by light-touch offshore regulators only.
Licence check: Not independently checked. This broker has submitted its details. BrokerBazaar has not yet independently checked them. A company registration or general business licence is not permission to offer regulated brokerage services; only the register entries linked in the table count.
Countries accepted and restricted
FXGlobe states that it accepts clients from European Union / EEA member states, Asia, Middle East, Africa, and Latin America (Strictly excluding the United States, Canada, Japan, North Korea, Iran, and sanctioned jurisdictions).

Complaints and dispute process
Formal complaints: compliance@fxglobe.eu (Global: compliance@fxglobe.com). Phone: +357 25 262 681. Customer complaints are formally processed by the Compliance and Legal Affairs Department of FXGlobe Limited at Chimonides Chambers, Limassol, Cyprus (or FS International Limited in Port Vila, Vanuatu). If an inquiry or dispute cannot be settled internally within statutory timeframes, European retail clients have statutory recourse to escalate disputes to the Financial Ombudsman of the Republic of Cyprus. Client trading funds are kept in segregated bank accounts with recognized financial institutions, completely ring-fenced from operational capital. European retail accounts under CySEC are protected by the Cyprus Investor Compensation Fund (ICF), providing statutory compensation up to €20,000 per person in the event of institutional default. However, international accounts operating under the offshore Vanuatu entity do not benefit from European ICF compensation coverage.
If the broker does not resolve a complaint, escalate to the ombudsman or regulator of the entity that holds your account. BrokerBazaar's Dispute Support Desk can help you document and escalate a case.
