How we protect you
Segregated Client Funds
All client funds are held in segregated accounts at tier-1 banks, completely separate from company operating capital. Your money is never used to fund business operations.
Negative Balance Protection
Retail clients are protected from losing more than their deposited amount. If your account balance goes negative due to extreme market conditions, we absorb the loss.
ISO 27001 Certified
Our information security management system is independently certified to ISO 27001 — the gold standard for data protection and cybersecurity in financial services.
AML / KYC Compliance
We comply with all Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) regulations across all jurisdictions we operate in. Client identity is verified before account activation.
GDPR & Data Privacy
Your personal data is processed in accordance with GDPR and applicable data protection laws. We never sell or share your data with third parties without your consent.
Annual Third-Party Audits
Independent external auditors review our financials, compliance procedures, and security infrastructure annually. Reports are available to regulators on request.
