Unknown
SMART BALANCE is a forex & CFD broker based in Australia, established in 2023. On Trust Broker Hub it holds a Trust Score of 3.7 out of 10, which we rate as Poor — above the industry average of 3.3/10. High-risk profile — proceed only with caution and small amounts.
SMART BALANCE's licence comes from an offshore jurisdiction (FINCEN). 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.
SMART BALANCE provides access to Forex, indices, commodities, cryptos. Published conditions include leverage up to 1:400. No complaints are currently on record. Overall, SMART BALANCE carries a high-risk profile. Only consider it with money you can afford to lose, and verify everything independently first.

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.
