Frequently asked questions
How do I spot a clone broker?
A clone uses a real broker's name, logo or licence number but a different website, email or bank account. Always open the broker's site from its regulator's register entry, never from an ad or a message.
Is a broker on a warning list always a scam?
A warning means the regulator says the firm is not authorised to serve its country. Do not deposit with a firm on a warning list.
