WHAT IS A SEGREGATED ACCOUNT

Work with us

What is a segregated account?

A segregated account is an individual account in which your funds are held separately from the broker's operating capital.

This means that your money is never pooled with the intermediary's funds, nor can it be used to cover its expenses, proprietary trading or financial obligations.

In other words, your deposits always remain in your name and under your control, ensuring greater protection against any eventuality.

Why does it matter?

Segregated accounts are a cornerstone of financial security in trading.

Full capital protection:

If the broker runs into financial difficulties, your funds remain untouched.

Absolute transparency:

You can check the status and availability of your funds at any time.

Regulatory compliance:

Brokers that operate with segregated accounts follow international client protection standards.

You know your money is safeguarded, with no risk of misuse.
