Independently verifiable licences include NFA Member — Gain Capital Group LLC (FCM & RFED), NFA ID 0339826; FCA — StoneX Financial Ltd, FRN 446717; ASIC — StoneX Financial Pty Ltd, AFSL 345646. It ranks among the most trusted, tier-1-regulated brokers in this comparison.
EUR/USD spreads start around 0.1 pips on the raw/ECN account (about 1 pips on the standard, commission-free account), with $7 (RAW Spread account, per standard lot round-turn) commission. The minimum deposit is $100 (bank transfer or debit card; $2,500 recommended for meaningful flexibility) and maximum retail leverage is 1:50 (US, forex majors); 1:30 (EU/UK, forex majors); up to 1:400 (international/offshore entities). It does not provide a dedicated swap-free (Islamic) account (No Islamic or swap-free account is listed on FOREX.com's official site or mentioned in independent reviews; FOREX.com does not appear on any major Islamic-account broker lists. Confirm directly with support if required.), so standard overnight swaps apply.
Platforms include FOREX.com Advanced Trading, MT4, MT5, TradingView, NinjaTrader, Mobile apps. FOREX.com provides ~5,500 tradeable instruments globally (80+ forex pairs; 4,500+ stock CFDs; indices, commodities, bonds, ETF CFDs, crypto CFDs; options on select entities) across Forex, funded via ACH / Bank Transfer, Wire Transfer, Debit Card (Visa/Mastercard), PayPal, Skrill, Neteller.
FOREX.com is one of the most heavily regulated retail FX brokers in the world, holding tier-1 licences across the US (CFTC/NFA), UK (FCA via StoneX Financial), Australia (ASIC), Canada (CIRO), EU (CySEC), Japan, Singapore, and Hong Kong — making it a strong choice for traders who prioritise regulatory safety. Its RAW Spread account is competitive on an all-in basis (~0.8–1.1 pips EUR/USD including commission), though the standard account pricing is only average. The main gaps are the absence of any swap-free/Islamic account and relatively poor MT4 instrument coverage compared to the proprietary platform; serious Muslim traders and pure ECN seekers will likely look elsewhere.
