Regulatory profile
FXGlobe is a forex & CFD broker founded in 2012 and headquartered in Vanuatu.
In our database FXGlobe is matched to 2 licences from FSCA and VFSC. Its strongest licence comes from the FSCA, which we rate tier 2: credible supervision, but with fewer safeguards than the very strictest regulators.
FXGlobe's licences span very different levels of protection — from FSCA to VFSC. The entity you are assigned to normally depends on your country of residence; if you live outside the jurisdictions of its stronger licences, expect to be onboarded to an offshore entity.
None of the regulators we have matched to FXGlobe operates a statutory compensation scheme covering retail forex, so the safety of your deposit relies mainly on segregation of client funds and the broker's own financial strength.
FXGlobe supports MT4.
