Is Exness safe?

To be certain that a brokerage is safe, we highly advise that you check two facts:.

  • how you are protected if something goes wrong
  • the background of the broker.

Exness has several legal entities, each serving clients from different parts of the world. This is important because the investor protection amount and the regulator differ from entity to entity.

Exness provides negative balance protection for forex spot and CFD trading, but only for retail clients from the European Union. Professional and non-EU clients are not covered by any negative balance protection.

Background

Exness is based in the USA and was founded in 1996. The longer track record a broker has, the more proof we have that it has successfully weathered previous financial crises. Exness publishes its annual financial statements and is regulated by a top-tier regulator. All of these are great markers of Exness's safety.
