eXcentral

eXcentral is a trading name of OM BRIDGE (PTY) Ltd., a company registered in Cyprus. According to our records, the firm was founded on 23 September 2021 and lists its registered address at Agiou Athanasiou, 66 Toumazis Linopetra Building 4102, Limassol, Cyprus. The company presents itself as a financial services provider offering access to the MetaTrader 4 (MT4) trading platform.

Our records indicate that eXcentral holds two regulatory licences: one from the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CYSEC) and one from the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) of South Africa. The CYSEC licence is a Forex Execution License (STP) with licence number 226/14, while the FSCA licence is a Derivatives Trading License (EP) with licence number 48296. The status of these licences is not specified in our records.

The regulatory framework surrounding eXcentral is a key point for potential clients to consider. The firm is licensed by CYSEC in Cyprus, which is a European regulatory body, and by the FSCA in South Africa. However, the licence numbers provided in our records are not accompanied by a status, leaving their current validity unclear.

In FXCanary's assessment, the dual licensing suggests an intention to operate in both European and South African markets. That said, the lack of publicly available information about the firm's operational history and the absence of independent reviews make it difficult to verify the actual regulatory standing. Traders are advised to check the public registers of these regulators directly.

According to the company description, eXcentral claims to provide clients with the MT4 trading platform. MT4 is a widely used platform in the retail forex and CFD industry, known for its charting tools, automated trading capabilities, and user-friendly interface. The specific instruments offered—such as forex pairs, commodities, indices, or cryptocurrencies—are not detailed in our records.

Given the limited information, we cannot confirm the full range of trading products or the account types available. The firm's website, excentral-int.biz, would be the primary source for such details, but we have not been able to verify its content independently.

Our records do not specify the account types, minimum deposit requirements, or funding methods offered by eXcentral. Without this information, it is not possible to describe the trading conditions in detail. Typically, brokers in this space offer standard, mini, and sometimes Islamic accounts, but we cannot confirm these for eXcentral.

Similarly, details on spreads, commissions, and leverage are not available in our records. Traders considering this broker should seek this information directly from the firm, but should also be cautious given the overall risk profile we have identified.

It is important to note that our records flag eXcentral as a potential risk. The FXCanary Scam Risk Score is 85 out of 100, which is categorised as 'Severe'. This score is based on two risk flags: the firm is listed as a 'Fake Broker' in industry watchdog records, and it has been identified as a clone or impersonator firm.

These flags are serious and suggest that the entity may not be operating legitimately, or that it may be imitating a legitimate broker. We have not found any clone or impersonator sites associated with eXcentral, but the existing flags are sufficient to warrant extreme caution. Independent public information about this broker is limited, which in itself is a warning sign for traders.

In summary, eXcentral is a Cyprus-registered company offering MT4 trading, with licences from CYSEC and FSCA. However, the lack of verifiable operational details, combined with the severe risk flags in our records, means that traders should approach this broker with significant caution.

We recommend that any potential client conduct thorough due diligence, including checking the regulatory status directly with CYSEC and FSCA, and seeking independent reviews. Given the 'Fake Broker' and clone flags, it may be prudent to avoid this broker altogether until its legitimacy is clearly established.
