Review of Infinox Broker's Credibility, Security and Regulations

INFINOX is one of the companies active in the global financial markets. It started operating in 2009 and, over more than a decade, has grown into an international brand in online forex and CFD trading. INFINOX has offices in several countries, including London (United Kingdom), Mauritius and the Bahamas, which reflects the company's effort to operate across multiple regulatory and geographic jurisdictions.

The naming and references to a presence in European countries such as the United Kingdom are part of this broker's branding, and its focus is mostly on international markets. The official INFINOX website and its public information state that the broker places values such as integrity, transparency and security at the center of its services. These claims only carry real weight when they are carefully assessed alongside a review of its regulations and fund safety mechanisms. The list of registered addresses is provided below:

 

One of the most important criteria for assessing a broker's credibility and safety is its regulation, or supervisory license. Below, we review the most important regulations associated with Infinox.

 

UK FCA regulation (number 501057)

One of the most important and reputable financial regulators in the world is the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). With the strict standards it sets to protect client funds and ensure transparency in companies' activities, this body is regarded as the gold standard in the broker industry. According to available information, Infinox Capital Ltd is registered under the UK FCA with license number 501057 and is authorized to operate. However, note that this license was obtained for the domain Infinox.co.uk and the regulation in question is mentioned in this domain's footer; not the main domain Infinox.com .

 

Anguilla AFSC regulation

Anguilla's AFSC regulation is usually regarded as an offshore license with simpler rules compared to European regulators. Although this license is legally used to provide certain financial services, its credibility and level of protection are not on par with top-tier regulators such as the FCA, and professional traders usually do not rely on it. According to the client agreement of the branch registered in Anguilla,  this company's CFD trading is not supervised by the Anguilla regulator. Section 1.3 of that agreement states explicitly, in distinct font:
Please note that CFD trading is currently not regulated in Anguilla; therefore, the services provided are not subject to any restrictions or exemptions, and trading is carried out at your own risk.

 

Mauritius FSC regulation

The Financial Services Commission of Mauritius (FSC) is another license associated with Infinox. According to published information, INFINOX Limited operates in Mauritius under license number GB20025832. This license falls under the category of offshore regulations and is used to provide services to non-European clients, including Iranians. While the FSC has requirements for segregating client funds and basic standards, it usually cannot guarantee the level of protection and oversight that larger bodies provide; so in terms of credibility, it is only a step above having no license at all, but it is an important tool for this broker to serve specific markets.

 

Registration in Cyprus and the United Arab Emirates

The footer of this broker's main domain states that Infinox is registered in Cyprus under number HE440832 as the company  INFINOX Services EU Limited. In addition, with the UAE's CMA economic authority, this broker is registered as a consulting company under the name Infinox Financial Consultants L.L.C S.O.C.

 Capital security matters a great deal to every trader, and brokers try to win clients' trust in various ways. One of INFINOX's claims is that it keeps client funds in accounts segregated from the company's own capital; this is stated on its official website and is also treated as a requirement by many regulators.

 

Another important point many traders pay attention to is the availability of Negative Balance Protection, meaning that during extreme market volatility, a client cannot lose more than the capital in their account. This feature is offered under many reputable regulatory bodies, and it has been noted in some cases that INFINOX has also specifically included it in its policies.
