FXCM Review — Overview
FXCM is a cryptocurrency exchange based in United Kingdom, established in 1999. On Trust Broker Hub it holds a Trust Score of 4.4 out of 10, which we rate as Fair — below the 5.3/10 average for brokers that hold a verified licence. Mixed profile — check regulation and conditions before depositing.
We could not verify any regulatory licence for FXCM. Trading with an unregulated broker is high-risk — your funds are not protected by any authority, and there is no official body to turn to if withdrawals are blocked or the broker disappears. We strongly recommend a regulated alternative from the list on this page.
FXCM provides access to Forex, shares, commodities, indices. Published conditions include a minimum deposit of $50 and leverage up to 1:1000. No complaints are currently on record. Overall, FXCM has a mixed profile: check its regulation and conditions carefully before depositing.
