        Hi Del,

        Thank you for your message.

        Whilst no broker is ever fully ‘safe’, XM did score 3.8/5 for Regulation & Trust in our XM.com review.

        This is because it’s well-established (it launched in 2009), it has a large client base (10+ million users), and it’s regulated by several respected bodies, two of which we consider ‘green tier’ regulators (ASIC in Australia and CySEC in Cyprus).

        Having said that, it’s important to check which XM entity you will hold your funds with when you sign up. For example, if you trade through the offshore entity (authorized by the IFSC) you may not receive the same level of regulatory protections, such as limits on leverage and access to compensation in the event the broker becomes insolvent.

            Ensure you are definitely using XM.com

            We have received complaints regarding operators that have attempted to piggyback on the XM brand name. Their names (and website urls) are clearly different, but traders need to ensure they are signing up with the legitimate XM.com brand.
