FOREX.com Deposit & Withdrawal

When we sit down to write a funding review, we usually have a stack of independent user reports, withdrawal timelines, and fee schedules to work from. For FOREX.com — the entity operating at jiasheng-markets.com and registered as StoneX Financial Ltd. in the United Kingdom — that stack is empty. There are no independent user reviews on file, no verified social-media presence, and no verifiable website footprint beyond the domain itself. That absence is not a detail; it is the story.

Our records show the firm was founded on 10 March 2023 and holds two licences on file: an FCA Market Making licence (no 446717) and a CIMA Derivatives Trading License (no 25033). Yet the same records carry a severe warning: the firm is flagged in industry watchdog records as a “Fake Broker” and as a clone or impersonator firm. FXCanary’s Scam Risk Score stands at 85/100 — Severe. In plain terms, this is not a broker where you should assume the funding process works as advertised. It is a broker where you should assume nothing until you have independently verified every step.

We searched our records and the public web for the deposit methods offered by this entity — bank transfer, credit/debit cards, e-wallets, or anything else. The honest answer is that nothing specific is disclosed in our known facts. The broker’s own claims, such as they are, do not list a single deposit channel, minimum amount, or fee. For a regulated broker with a real operating history, that level of opacity would be unusual. For a firm flagged as a clone, it is a red flag in itself.

What does that mean for a trader? It means you cannot plan a deposit with any confidence. You do not know whether you will be asked to send a wire to a corporate account in one country or a personal account in another. You do not know whether card payments are accepted, or whether you will be directed to a third-party payment processor. In our assessment, the absence of published deposit information is not a neutral gap — it is a warning sign that the funding process may be designed to be as opaque as possible.

Withdrawals are where a broker’s true character shows. A legitimate broker processes withdrawals promptly, communicates clearly, and has a track record that independent users can confirm. For this FOREX.com entity, we have no such track record.

Our records contain no withdrawal method, no processing time, and no fee schedule. There are no user reports to confirm that withdrawals are ever paid — and no user reports to confirm they are not. That is the void we are working with.

We want to be explicit: we are not alleging that withdrawals are fraudulent. We are stating that there is zero independent evidence that they work as advertised. In the absence of any verifiable withdrawal history, the prudent assumption is that a withdrawal request may be delayed, may be refused, or may never arrive. That is not a claim of fact; it is a statement of risk. For a trader considering this broker, the withdrawal process should be treated as unproven until proven otherwise.

Our records flag this entity as a clone or impersonator firm. That is a serious designation. It means the operators may be using the name and regulatory references of a legitimate firm — in this case, the well-known FOREX.com brand and the FCA licence number 446717 — to attract deposits that never reach the real company. The official domain, jiasheng-markets.com, does not match the domain of the genuine FOREX.com, and our records show no verifiable website or social-media presence for this clone.

For funding, the clone warning is critical. If you deposit money with a clone, you are not depositing with the regulated entity whose licence number is displayed. You are depositing with whoever controls the clone’s bank account.

That money may be moved offshore, commingled with other funds, or simply taken. The FCA and CIMA licences on file may be genuine, but they belong to the real StoneX Financial Ltd. — not necessarily to the operators of this site. We cross-checked the licence numbers against our records, and they match the legitimate firm.

But the site itself is flagged as a fake. That disconnect is exactly why funding this broker is so dangerous.

The FCA licence (no 446717) and CIMA licence (no 25033) on file are real regulatory authorisations. If you were trading with the genuine StoneX Financial Ltd., those licences would provide a layer of protection: FCA clients in the UK benefit from the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) up to £85,000, and CIMA regulation offers a framework for dispute resolution. But those protections apply to the regulated entity — not to a clone that is misusing its name.

If you deposit with a clone, you are outside the regulatory perimeter entirely. The FCA will not compensate you for losses caused by an impersonator, and CIMA has no jurisdiction over a website that is not actually operated by its licensee. Our records show the firm has zero employees on file, which further suggests that the operational entity behind the site is a shell, not a functioning broker. In FXCanary’s assessment, the regulatory licences are a veneer — they lend an air of legitimacy to a firm that our records flag as fake.

If you are still considering depositing with this broker — and we would strongly advise against it — there are steps you can take to limit your exposure. First, start with the smallest possible deposit. Do not send money you cannot afford to lose. A deposit that is small enough to be written off is the only size that is appropriate for a broker with no independent review record and a severe scam risk score.

Second, test the withdrawal process early. Request a withdrawal of a small amount as soon as you have any funds in the account. A legitimate broker will process that request without delay.

A clone may stall, ask for additional documents, or simply ignore the request. That early test is the single most informative data point you can gather. Third, keep meticulous records: save every email, every transaction ID, every screenshot of the platform.

If things go wrong, that documentation is your only evidence. Finally, consider whether the risk is worth it at all. With a scam risk score of 85/100, the odds are not in your favour.

Even if you decide to proceed, be alert for specific red flags during the funding process. If the broker asks you to deposit into a personal bank account rather than a corporate account in the name of StoneX Financial Ltd., that is a major warning sign. If the deposit instructions change between attempts, or if you are pressured to deposit quickly, that is another. If the broker requests additional fees to release a withdrawal — such as a “tax” or “processing fee” — that is a classic scam tactic.

Also watch for inconsistencies in the payment processor. A legitimate broker will use well-known payment gateways and will provide clear, verifiable transaction receipts. A clone may use obscure processors, cryptocurrency wallets, or payment links that expire quickly. Our records show no verifiable website or social-media presence, so any communication you receive is likely from the clone’s operators directly. Treat any request for payment with extreme suspicion.

In FXCanary’s assessment, the funding process for this FOREX.com entity is not something we can recommend. The broker has no independent review record, no verifiable operational presence, and is flagged as a fake broker and clone in industry watchdog records. The absence of disclosed deposit and withdrawal methods is not a minor omission; it is a fundamental lack of transparency that makes safe funding impossible to plan.

We cannot tell you what the minimum deposit is, what fees apply, or how long a withdrawal takes — because that information is not published in our records, and we will not invent it. What we can tell you is that the risk is severe, and the prudent course is to avoid depositing altogether. If you do proceed, treat every step as a test, keep your exposure minimal, and be prepared to walk away. In the world of forex trading, a broker that cannot be verified is a broker that should not be trusted with your money.
