FXCL Broker is a forex & CFD broker based in Australia, established in 2006. On Trust Broker Hub it holds a Trust Score of 4.5 out of 10, which we rate as Fair — above the industry average of 3.3/10. Mixed profile — check regulation and conditions before depositing.
FXCL Broker's licence comes from an offshore jurisdiction (VFSC). 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.
FXCL Broker provides access to Forex, indices, cryptocurrencies, metals. Published conditions include a minimum deposit of $1 and leverage up to 1:2000. No complaints are currently on record. Overall, FXCL Broker has a mixed profile: check its regulation and conditions carefully before depositing.
