ELAN FINANCIAL Review — Overview
ELAN FINANCIAL is a forex & CFD broker based in Australia, established in 2003. On Trust Broker Hub it holds a Trust Score of 4.8 out of 10, which we rate as Fair — above the industry average of 3.3/10. Mixed profile — check regulation and conditions before depositing.
ELAN FINANCIAL's licence comes from an offshore jurisdiction (BY and UNITED). Offshore regulation is far lighter than tier-1 oversight from bodies like the FCA (UK) or ASIC (Australia): there is usually no compensation scheme, and recovering funds can be difficult if the broker runs into trouble. Treat it with extra caution and verify the licence on the regulator's own register.
ELAN FINANCIAL provides access to Forex (22 major currency pairs), Spot Gold, Spot Silver. Published conditions include a minimum deposit of $100 and leverage up to 1:500. No complaints are currently on record. Overall, ELAN FINANCIAL has a mixed profile: check its regulation and conditions carefully before depositing.
