Confirm the legal entity and regulation before anything else
Many forex brokers operate several legal entities, each registered in a different jurisdiction and each subject to different rules on leverage caps, negative balance protection and complaint handling. Before you look at pricing or platforms, identify which FxPro entity would actually hold your account based on your country of residence. This detail appears in the account opening flow and in the client agreement, and it affects almost everything else on this checklist. Verify the entity name and license number against the register of the stated regulator, and read the client agreement section that describes how client money is held.
- Identify the exact legal entity named in your account agreement, not just the brand name.
- Check the stated license number on the relevant regulator's public register yourself.
- Read how client funds are segregated and what compensation scheme, if any, applies to your entity.
- Note whether leverage limits and negative balance rules differ by entity or region.
