FBS Trading (Seychelles) Ltd Account Types & How to Open

FBS Trading (Seychelles) Ltd does not publish a detailed schedule of its account tiers, minimum deposits, or spreads in the records we hold. Our review of the official domain ftrading-sc.com and its associated documents found no account comparison table, no list of platform-specific account types, and no disclosure of commission structures. This is unusual for a broker that presents itself as a trading services provider, and it means traders cannot independently verify the cost of trading before signing up.

What we can confirm is that the entity is registered in Seychelles and holds a Securities Dealer licence from the Seychelles Financial Services Authority (FSA). The licence number is not published in the public register we consulted, and we will not speculate. The absence of transparent account information is itself a material fact for any trader weighing this broker against more established alternatives.

FBS Trading (Seychelles) Ltd is licensed by the Seychelles FSA as a Securities Dealer. The Seychelles regulatory framework is widely regarded as light-touch compared to major financial centres such as the FCA in the UK or CySEC in Cyprus. The FSA does not typically require the same level of capital adequacy, client money segregation, or reporting that traders in Europe or Australia take for granted.

In FXCanary's assessment, this is not an automatic disqualifier — many reputable brokers operate offshore entities to serve clients in regions where local regulation is unavailable. However, it does mean that the investor protection net is thinner. If a dispute arises, the trader's recourse is limited to the Seychelles legal system, which is distant for most international clients. We cross-checked the licence against the public register and found no published licence number; the register simply does not disclose them.

Our records do not list any specific account tiers for FBS Trading (Seychelles) Ltd. There is no mention of a standard account, a raw spread account, an Islamic swap-free account, or a demo account. The broker's own website and the documents we retrieved — a privacy policy and a risk warning — make no reference to account categories, minimum deposit amounts, or leverage limits.

This is a significant gap. Most brokers, even those with minimal disclosure, at least state a minimum deposit and a range of leverage options. The complete absence suggests either that the entity is very new, that it operates through a referral or white-label arrangement, or that it simply has not prioritised transparency. For a trader, this means the first step is to contact support and ask pointed questions — and to be wary if the answers are vague.

Because no leverage figures are disclosed in our records, we cannot state a specific maximum. What we can say is that Seychelles-licensed brokers are not bound by the leverage caps imposed in the EU (30:1 for major forex pairs) or in other regulated jurisdictions. It is common for offshore brokers to offer leverage of 1:500 or even higher, and some go beyond that.

High leverage is a double-edged sword. It amplifies both gains and losses, and for retail traders it is one of the leading causes of account blow-ups. If FBS Trading (Seychelles) Ltd offers leverage in the hundreds-to-one range, that is a risk factor that should be weighed carefully. We recommend that traders treat any leverage above 1:100 as high risk, and never trade with money they cannot afford to lose.

The official domain ftrading-sc.com and its associated subdomain ftrading-sc-software.com suggest that the broker provides a software-based trading solution, but our records do not specify which platform is offered. There is no mention of MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, or any proprietary platform in the documents we reviewed.

The risk warning document, which is hosted on the ftrading-sc-software.com domain, indicates that the broker's services are delivered through some form of trading software. However, without confirmation of the platform, traders cannot assess the quality of charting tools, execution speed, or the availability of automated trading. We advise contacting the broker directly to request a platform demo before committing any funds.

No information on deposit methods, withdrawal processing times, or fees is available in our records. The privacy policy mentions payment providers in passing, but it does not name them or describe their terms. This is a red flag for transparency, as hidden fees or slow withdrawals are common complaints against offshore brokers.

In the absence of disclosed costs, traders should assume that standard banking fees may apply, and that currency conversion charges could be significant if the account is funded in a non-major currency. We strongly recommend that any prospective client request a full schedule of fees in writing before opening an account, and that they test the withdrawal process with a small amount first.

The privacy policy we reviewed confirms that the company collects KYC (Know Your Customer) information, which is standard practice for any licensed broker. The policy describes the collection of personal data, but it does not detail the exact documents required or the verification timeline. Typically, Seychelles brokers ask for a government-issued ID, proof of address, and sometimes a selfie or a source of funds declaration.

The KYC process is a necessary safeguard, but it also means that your personal data is held by an entity in a jurisdiction with less stringent data protection laws than the GDPR. The privacy policy states that the company complies with applicable legislation, but in Seychelles that legislation is not as robust as in Europe. We advise traders to read the privacy policy in full and to consider the implications of sharing sensitive documents with an offshore entity.

In FXCanary's assessment, the lack of published account details is a serious concern. A broker that does not disclose its account types, minimum deposits, or spreads is asking traders to commit funds without the information needed to make an informed decision. This is especially problematic given the offshore regulatory environment.

We cannot recommend FBS Trading (Seychelles) Ltd to traders who value transparency and regulatory protection. For those who still wish to proceed, we urge extreme caution: start with the smallest possible deposit, use only funds you can afford to lose, and be prepared for the possibility that the broker's services may not match your expectations. The absence of independent reviews and the minimal online footprint only reinforce our guarded stance.
