Tier classification follows the same scale as the retail register: tier-2 means real supervision and client-money segregation, without an investor compensation scheme — never misread it as tier-1 protection.

Claims we cannot verify from outside

  • 'Deep liquidity and tight spreads from as little as 0.0 pips' on the white-label page is the firm's own marketing floor, not a typical spread

Perimeter and coverage

Asset classesVenuesConnectivityClients acceptedExplicitly refused
FX, CFDs, Metals, Indices, CryptocurrenciesAccess to FP Markets platforms, execution and back-office functionality with re-branding (own partners page), MT4/MT5 platform offering (group platform stack)Established brokerages with existing client base and CFD volume (own partners page), Start-ups launching a trading brand (own partners page)

A firm that publishes its own negative space — who it refuses, where it is not licensed — is materially easier to assess than one that doesn't. The refusal list is treated here as disclosure, not as a defect.
