Regulatory profile
Axiance is a forex & CFD broker founded in 2019 and headquartered in Cyprus.
In our database Axiance is matched to 2 licences from CySEC and FSA (Seychelles). Its strongest licence comes from the CySEC, which we rate tier 2: credible supervision, but with fewer safeguards than the very strictest regulators.
Like many international brands, Axiance combines onshore and offshore entities. Clients in the UK, EU or other markets where it holds a strong licence are usually onboarded there, while clients elsewhere may be placed with its FSA (Seychelles)-licensed company. The protections differ substantially, so check which company is named in your client agreement.
Depending on the entity, eligible clients may be covered by Investor Compensation Fund (ICF) (CySEC). Negative balance protection is mandatory for retail clients under CySEC rules. Retail leverage caps apply at the CySEC-regulated entities (for example 30:1 on major FX pairs at CySEC).
Axiance provides access to MT4 and MT5.

Does Axiance accept US clients?
Axiance is not matched to a CFTC/NFA registration in our database. Only CFTC-registered, NFA-member firms may offer retail forex to US residents, so Axiance generally cannot accept US retail forex clients.

Clients of Axiance's CySEC-regulated entity may be eligible for statutory compensation (Investor Compensation Fund (ICF) — up to €20,000). Clients of other entities rely on segregation of funds and the firm's financial strength.
How can I verify Axiance's licence?
