What is FOREX.com's Anti-Money Laundering (AML) 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.

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

How does FOREX.com make money?

Our main source of revenue comes from the market spread. In effect, you pay a little more for the buy price, and receive a little less for the sell price. For example, if EUR/USD is trading in the market at 1.2164, a 1-point spread means it would have a buy price of 1.21645 and a sell price of 1.21635.
