What this means

Across a hundred brokers, the licence is what separates the field fastest.

Fintrix Markets holds a tier-one authorisation from ASIC. That matters more than any headline spread: it determines your leverage cap, whether losses can exceed your deposit, and what happens to your money if the firm fails.

It also operates an offshore entity (FSC). Which one you are onboarded to depends on where you live, and the two carry very different protections - worth confirming before you deposit.

ASIC caps retail leverage at 1:30, requires negative balance protection, and obliges the broker to hold client money in a separate trust account.

An FSC licence (Mauritius or Belize, depending on the entity) is an offshore authorisation with lighter reporting duties than a tier-one regulator.

Client money is held separately from the firm's own money. That separation is what makes your balance recoverable if the company fails, rather than part of the pool its creditors divide up.

Covered by No statutory investor compensation scheme equivalent to FSCS; complimentary Client Funds Insurance for eligible clients underwritten by Lloyd's of London, including professional indemnity cover up to $2 million per claim, which pays eligible clients up to its limit if the firm fails owing client money.
