About BULBROKERS
Who is Bulbrokers?
Bulbrokers is an investment intermediary based in Sofia, Bulgaria, registered in 2018 (according to our records) but claiming experience since 2008. The company operates through the website bulbrokers.com and offers a multi-asset trading platform to retail and institutional clients. It reports serving over 30,000 customers across Europe, particularly in Bulgaria and Greece. The broker presents itself as a full-service financial institution with consulting, asset management, and brokerage services.
Regulation and Licensing
Our records indicate that Bulbrokers has no registered regulators. However, the broker itself claims to be regulated by several bodies: the Bulgarian Financial Supervision Commission (FSC) under license РГ-03-0009/14.07.2008, the Bulgarian National Bank (BNB), the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) under number 544872, and the Romanian National Securities Commission (CNVM). These claims have not been independently verified by FXCanary. The absence of confirmed regulation is a significant consideration for traders.
Trading Platforms and Technology
Bulbrokers provides two main trading platforms: MetaTrader 4 (MT4) for retail forex/CFD trading and a proprietary Trader Workstation (TWS) for broader market access. MT4 supports ECN/Interbank execution with competitive spreads and leverage up to 200:1. TWS offers direct market access to stocks, options, futures, forex, bonds, and funds across more than 100 global markets. Both platforms include mobile trading capabilities.
The broker emphasizes advanced order types and high-speed execution. The availability of both a mainstream platform (MT4) and a professional-grade platform (TWS) suggests an attempt to cater to different trader segments.
Account Types and Trading Conditions
Two retail account types are offered: Standard and Premium. The Standard account requires a $100 minimum deposit, features spreads from 0.8 pips on EUR/USD, and charges no commission. The Premium account requires a higher unspecified minimum, offers spreads from 0.00 pips, and imposes a commission. Both accounts use market execution with 0 pips limit/stop levels. Margin call is set at 50% and stop out at 20%.
Leverage ranges from 50:1 to 200:1 depending on the instrument. The conditions are typical for a retail broker but the lack of regulatory oversight means these terms are not enforced by a third party.
Instruments and Market Access
Bulbrokers claims to provide access to a wide array of asset classes: forex, stocks, options, futures, ETFs, warrants, indices, bonds, funds, and cryptocurrencies. It highlights coverage of European, Asian, and US markets, with a focus on the Bulgarian and regional capital markets. The broker also offers institutional consulting and asset management services.
While the instrument list is comprehensive, the actual execution quality and liquidity provision remain unverified due to the broker's lack of regulated status.
Funding, Fees, and Customer Support
The broker's website outlines deposit and withdrawal processes but does not specify available payment methods. Currency conversion fees apply when transferring funds. Customer support is available via Twitter, Facebook, and presumably live chat (script found on site). The company has a physical address in Sofia, Bulgaria, but this is shared with many other firms.
No information is provided about account opening procedures or withdrawal processing times. The limited transparency on operational details is a common trait among unregulated brokers.
Target Audience and Suitability
Bulbrokers positions itself for both retail traders and institutional clients. Its offering of MT4 and TWS platforms, combined with a broad instrument range, aims at traders seeking multi-asset diversification. However, the lack of verifiable regulatory backing makes it unsuitable for risk-averse traders.
The broker's claims of 16+ years of experience and 30,000 clients are not corroborated by independent sources. Prospective traders should exercise caution and consider the guarded risk score assigned by FXCanary.
