FXCN tier 1
34 brokers

This is the critical protection if the broker goes bankrupt. fxcn awards +30 points on this dimension.
Client-money segregation reduces misuse and commingling risk, but it is not deposit insurance and cannot remove every loss in a broker failure.
This is not an isolated definition. The data below comes from FXCN regulator records and active licence relationships and shows what requires verification.
