How does FOREX.com make money?

FOREX.com is compensated via the spread, which is the difference between the bid and ask prices. We work hard to provide transparent prices and tight spreads. You may incur a rollover charge if you hold your positions overnight.

How does FOREX.com protect my money?

All retail client money is fully segregated from our own funds and held in separate accounts with top-tier banks. We only use our own funds for hedging and never engage in proprietary trading.

FOREX.com is a wholly-owned subsidiary of StoneX Group Inc., a NASDAQ-listed company with a strong balance sheet and experienced management team, serving clients in multiple countries worldwide.

In addition, clients may be eligible for the Canadian Investor Protection Fund in the event the firm becomes insolvent or ceases trading.

What is FOREX.com’s anti-money laundering policy?

FOREX.com actively complies with all anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism laws and regulations to the fullest extent that it can, under all applicable foreign and domestic laws.

On an ongoing basis, we review account activity for evidence of suspicious transactions that may be indicative of money laundering activities. This review may include surveillance of: 1) money flows into and out of accounts, 2) the origin and destination of wire transfers, and 3) other activity outside the normal course of business.

In order to be fully compliant with applicable regulatory requirements, FOREX.com may occasionally reach out for additional information and/or documentation from clients.
