FOREX.com: explicit US retail forex registration within a wider regulated network
FOREX.com’s documented structure includes a US entity registered specifically for retail foreign exchange, alongside separately regulated entities in other markets. Our independent check of the NFA register confirms GAIN Capital Group LLC’s retail foreign exchange dealer and futures commission merchant registrations. Official-register checks also confirm entities in the UK, Singapore, Australia, Japan, Canada and Cyprus. This establishes a documented multi-jurisdiction operating structure, rather than one licence covering the brand worldwide; the US record is particularly informative because it explicitly identifies the retail forex role.
The evidence is less informative about the service a customer would actually receive. MetaTrader 5 and TradingView are listed, and terminal records also identify MetaTrader 4, but availability is not mapped to particular accounts or jurisdictions. No account-level pricing or funding terms are supplied, so spreads, commissions and the practical cost of using these platforms cannot be compared. The assessment is therefore neutral: the regulated structure is substantiated, but regional account terms and platform eligibility are needed to judge FOREX.com as a brokerage service.
- Generated
US retail forex role independently verified
An approved official NFA register check confirms GAIN Capital Group LLC, number 0339826, as a retail foreign exchange dealer and futures commission merchant.
UK and Cyprus authorisations independently verified
Official-register checks confirm StoneX Financial Ltd under FCA 446717 and StoneX Europe Ltd under CySEC 400/21, including order execution and dealing on own account.
Account economics cannot be assessed
No account pricing or funding terms are supplied. This prevents a meaningful comparison of total trading costs and account conditions.
Platform access is not mapped to regional accounts
MT5 and TradingView are listed and MT4 appears in terminal records, but the evidence does not identify which accounts or jurisdictions offer each platform.
- Obtain the regional account schedule covering spreads, commissions, financing charges and funding conditions.
- Check the regional platform guide for MT4, MT5 and TradingView eligibility on the account being compared.
- Use the regional client agreement to identify which documented entity would provide the account.
This AI review summarizes the structured public evidence currently available. It may omit recent changes and is not investment, trading, or account-opening advice. Always verify the contracting entity, licence, and customer agreement independently.
