FXPB

FXPB is a brokerage firm that claims to be based in the United Kingdom, with a registration date of September 1, 2020. The company operates under the domain fxpb.us, which suggests a target market in the United States, though its stated country of registration is the UK. Our records indicate that FXPB presents itself as a forex and CFD broker, offering multiple account types to cater to different trading preferences. However, independent public information about the company is limited, and its legitimacy has been questioned in industry circles.

According to the limited data available, the broker's website appears to be functional, providing customer support via email and phone. The company description from our sources raises concerns about the validity of its regulatory claims, which we will address in the following sections. Traders considering this broker should approach with caution due to the lack of verifiable information.

FXPB lists two regulatory bodies in its profile: the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in the United Kingdom and the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) in Cyprus. For both regulators, the license status is marked as unconfirmed in our records, and the specific license numbers are not provided. This absence of verifiable regulatory details is a significant red flag, as legitimate brokers typically display their license numbers and registration information prominently on their websites.

The FCA and CySEC are respected regulators with strict standards, and any claim of authorization by these bodies should be cross-checked against their public registers. Our initial checks do not confirm FXPB's registration with either authority. Traders are strongly advised to verify any regulatory claims independently before depositing funds. The uncertainty around FXPB's regulatory status is a major point of concern.

FXPB offers three ECN account types: ECN Advanced Account, ECN XL Account, and ECN Standard Account. The minimum deposit requirements are notably high and specified in Indian Rupees (Rs.) for the XL and Standard accounts, with the Advanced Account requiring a deposit of 20,00,000+ (currency not specified, likely also INR). These figures are significantly higher than industry averages, which could be a barrier for retail traders. The maximum leverage for these accounts is not disclosed in our records, leaving traders in the dark about trading terms.

The ECN structure suggests that FXPB aims to provide direct access to interbank liquidity, which is common among serious forex brokers. However, without transparent information on spreads, commissions, and trading platforms, it is difficult to assess the competitiveness of these accounts. The high minimum deposits, especially when quoted in a non-major currency, may indicate a focus on a specific regional market, but this reduces the broker's global appeal.

FXPB claims to offer customer support via email and phone, though the specific contact details are not included in our data. In our experience, the availability and responsiveness of customer support are critical for traders, especially those dealing with financial transactions. The lack of public reviews or testimonials makes it impossible to gauge the quality of support provided by this broker.

The company's domain, fxpb.us, is registered, but the website's content and functionality are not independently verified. The limited online footprint and absence of independent reviews contribute to the overall risk profile. Traders seeking a broker with a robust support system may find FXPB lacking in transparency.

Based on the information available, FXPB presents a guarded risk profile, as reflected in our scam risk score of 38/100. The primary concerns are the unverified regulatory claims and the lack of transparent trading conditions. The high minimum deposits and unusual currency denominations further complicate the picture. Without independent user reviews or verifiable regulatory data, it is challenging to recommend this broker to cautious traders.

In summary, FXPB is a broker that requires extensive due diligence. The absence of concrete information and the questionable legitimacy of its regulatory assertions make it a high-risk choice. Traders are advised to consider only fully regulated alternatives with a proven track record. FXCanary will continue to monitor this broker and update its profile as more information becomes available.
