Questrade is a forex & CFD broker based in Canada, established in 1999. On Trust Broker Hub it holds a Trust Score of 5.2 out of 10, which we rate as Fair — above the industry average of 3.3/10. Mixed profile — check regulation and conditions before depositing.
Crucially, Questrade is regulated by CIRO, including at least one tier-1 regulator. Tier-1 regulation is the strongest sign of legitimacy: it normally requires segregated client funds, regular audits and access to a compensation scheme if the broker fails — meaningful protection for your money.
Questrade provides access to Stocks, ETFs, options, GICs. Its detailed trading conditions — minimum deposit, spreads and maximum leverage — are not publicly disclosed, which lowers transparency. No complaints are currently on record. Overall, Questrade has a mixed profile: check its regulation and conditions carefully before depositing.

Frequently asked
Is Questrade a safe broker?
Questrade scores 5.2 / 10 on our Trust Score, above the 3.3 industry average. It holds tier-1 regulation, which offers strong investor protection. It has no complaints on record. Trade only with funds you can afford to lose.
How is the Questrade 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 Questrade?
Questrade doesn't publish detailed withdrawal terms, so we can't verify processing times or fees. Test with a small amount first and document every transaction.
