Founded
2001 New Jersey, US
A long-standing, multi-regulated broker backed by NASDAQ-listed StoneX.
Backed by NASDAQ-listed StoneX and regulated by the FCA, NFA/CFTC and ASIC, Forex.com is a trusted, full-service broker — one of the few strong options that also serves US traders, with a wide platform choice.
The score, by criterion
Forex.com is regulated by three tier-1 authorities — the FCA, the US NFA/CFTC and ASIC — under its NASDAQ-listed parent, StoneX Group. That US registration makes it one of the few strong, compliant choices for American forex traders.
| Regulator | Jurisdiction | Licence / reg. no. | Legal entity |
|---|---|---|---|
| FCA | United Kingdom | 446717 | StoneX Financial Ltd |
| NFA / CFTC | United States | 0339826 | GAIN Capital Group LLC |
| ASIC | Australia | AFSL 345646 | StoneX Financial Pty Ltd |
Traders choose between a spread-only account (EUR/USD from ~1.0 pip) and a commission (RAW) account with tighter raw spreads plus a per-trade fee. Overall costs are competitive for a full-service, listed-group broker.
A broad platform line-up — proprietary web and mobile apps, MT4, MT5, TradingView and NinjaTrader — spans roughly 5,500 instruments, with about 80 forex pairs.
A strong fit for US traders needing a compliant, well-capitalised broker, and for anyone wanting tier-1 regulation with a wide platform choice. Non-US traders chasing the very lowest raw spread can find cheaper specialists.
