Broker safety knowledge base

Confirm the legal entity behind onboarding

Account-opening pages, client agreements, risk disclosures, and deposit pages should identify the same legal entity. If they differ, re-check the registry.

Match permissions and target regions

Do not stop at licensed status. Confirm whether permissions cover FX, CFDs, metals, or crypto CFDs and whether the broker may serve the client region.

Review dispute and client-money clauses

Agreements should explain client-money segregation, negative-balance protection, complaint handling, and dispute mechanisms. Gaps require review.
