Check a broker before you deposit.
Search a broker to review regulation, costs, withdrawal friction, product risk and red flags before funding an account.
Eight signals before you fund an account
Each broker is scanned on the same fixed criteria. Scores are informational — not a safety guarantee, and affiliate commission is weighted 0%.
Regulation confidence
Tier-1 licensing, segregated funds, compensation cover and the entity that actually onboards you.
Real trading cost
Spreads, commissions, swaps and the fees that only show up after you fund.
Withdrawal friction
Typical payout speed, methods, verification and whether money returns to source.
Product risk
Leverage on offer, CFD exposure and how easily an account can blow up.
Country availability
Whether the broker accepts your country — and under which regulator.
Transparency
How clearly pricing, terms and the company behind the brand are disclosed.

Informational only and not financial advice. Trading involves risk and most retail CFD accounts lose money. Verify a broker's regulation, fees and availability directly before opening or funding an account.
