Regulatory profile
FxPro is a forex & CFD broker founded in 2006 and headquartered in Cyprus.
In our database FxPro is matched to 5 licences from FCA, CySEC, FSCA, SCB and FSA (Seychelles). The strongest of these, the FCA (United Kingdom) is among the regulators we classify as tier 1 — bodies with strict capital, client-money and conduct rules.
Be aware that a single FxPro website can front several legal entities. Its FCA and CySEC-regulated companies serve local residents, while international clients are frequently handled by entities supervised by SCB and FSA (Seychelles), which offer much weaker safeguards.
Depending on the entity, eligible clients may be covered by FSCS (FCA) and Investor Compensation Fund (ICF) (CySEC). Negative balance protection is mandatory for retail clients under FCA and CySEC rules. Retail leverage caps apply at the FCA and CySEC-regulated entities (for example 30:1 on major FX pairs at FCA).
FxPro supports MT4, MT5, cTrader and its own proprietary platform. The advertised minimum deposit starts from about US$100 — minimums often vary by account type and entity.
