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.

Our verdict on FXCM

Editorial · updated 24 Aug 2026
Our analysis · editorial 4.4/10

A mixed risk profile

FXCM does not hold a verified regulatory licence on record. Based in United Kingdom, it has been operating for about 27 years. We have no complaints on record against it. Weighing regulation, track record and complaint history, our Trust Score is 4.4/10 — a mixed profile.

Strengths
  • Long 27-year operating track record
  • No complaints on record with us
  • Accessible minimum deposit ($50)
Watch-outs
  • No verified regulatory licence on record — funds may lack protection
  • Very high leverage available (1:1000) — amplifies risk
Bottom line: Proceed with caution: start with a small deposit and test a withdrawal early.

Frequently asked

Is FXCM a safe broker?
FXCM scores 4.4 / 10 on our Trust Score, below the 5.3 average for brokers that hold a verified licence. It has no verified tier-1 licence, raising risk. It has no complaints on record with us, though that is not proof of good conduct. Trade only with funds you can afford to lose.
How is the FXCM trust score calculated?
The score weighs five factors: regulation tier, transparency of disclosures, operating footprint, user sentiment, and complaint history. Each is scored out of 10 and combined into the overall figure shown at the top. Read our methodology.
What does "offshore regulated" mean?
It means the broker's licence comes from a jurisdiction with lighter requirements than tier-1 regulators like the FCA or ASIC. There's usually no compensation scheme, so recovering funds can be difficult if the broker fails.
Can I withdraw funds easily from FXCM?
FXCM publishes some trading terms, but always confirm withdrawal fees directly. Test with a small amount first and document every transaction.
