Rico is a forex & CFD broker based in Australia, established in 2011. On Trust Broker Hub it holds a Trust Score of 1.6 out of 10, which we rate as Poor — below the 4.9/10 average for brokers that hold a verified licence. High-risk profile — proceed only with caution and small amounts.

We could not verify any regulatory licence for Rico. 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.

Rico provides access to forex and CFDs. Its detailed trading conditions — minimum deposit, spreads and maximum leverage — are not publicly disclosed, which lowers transparency. No complaints are currently on record. Overall, Rico carries a high-risk profile. Only consider it with money you can afford to lose, and verify everything independently first.

Trust Score 1.6 / 10

We could verify only 3 of 10 facts about Rico, so its score is scaled down. A missing licence, undisclosed trading terms or no track record cannot earn marks — absence of bad news is not evidence of safety.

High-risk profile

Rico does not hold a verified regulatory licence on record. Based in Australia, it has been operating for about 15 years. We have no complaints on record against it. Weighing regulation, track record and complaint history, our Trust Score is 1.6/10 — a high-risk profile.

Strengths
  • Long 15-year operating track record
  • No complaints on record with us
  • Supports Profit Rico Trader & MetaTrader 5 trading
Watch-outs
  • No verified regulatory licence on record — funds may lack protection
Bottom line: High risk — we would avoid depositing significant funds until its regulation improves.

This is Trust Broker Hub's data-driven editorial assessment — not a user review. It is generated automatically from regulation, licensing, company age and complaint records, and updates as those change.

Frequently asked

Is Rico a safe broker?
Rico scores 1.6 / 10 on our Trust Score, below the 4.9 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.
What is the Rico MT5 server name?
Rico is listed in the MetaQuotes MetaTrader 5 directory under the server name "Rico". In MetaTrader 5, add an account and search for that name, then choose the exact server shown in your account details from the broker. Read our methodology.
Is Rico regulated?
MetaQuotes lists Rico (XP Investimentos CCTVM) with the status "Regulation: Brazil". That is the broker's own declaration to MetaQuotes, not a licence we have checked. We hold no verified licence for it, so check the regulator's own register before depositing.
How is the Rico 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.
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 Rico?
Rico 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.
