Authorized by the Capital Markets Authority of Lebanon (CMA License No. 717), it provides local traders with institutional MT5 execution, competitive 0.4-pip spreads, and segregated client funds. While locally compliant, Lebanese macroeconomic context and the lack of a statutory compensation scheme result in moderate counterparty risk.

Complaints and dispute process
Formal complaints: compliance@xglobalfx.com.lb. Phone: +961 1 550 001. Customer complaints are formally processed by the Compliance and Legal Affairs Department of XGLOBAL Lebanon S.A.L. at the Al-Markazia Building, Beirut Central District. If a grievance cannot be resolved directly with the firm, retail clients have statutory recourse to lodge a formal complaint with the Capital Markets Authority (CMA) of Lebanon (located at Rome Street, Wardiyeh, Hamra, Beirut) pursuant to Lebanese capital markets dispute resolution frameworks. Client trading collateral is kept strictly in segregated bank accounts with authorized commercial banking partners, ring-fenced from operational funds. However, accounts under the Lebanese entity are subject to domestic banking system jurisdictional risks and do not benefit from Western statutory compensation schemes (such as the UK FSCS or Cyprus ICF) in the event of institutional default.
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.
