ITB

ITBfx is an online forex and CFD broker established in 2017, with a stated headquarters in London. The company is registered in Saint Lucia at The Sotheby Building, Rodney Bay, Gros-Islet. It offers trading services through the MetaTrader 5 platform, catering to a global client base. The broker is not regulated by any major financial authority, which is a key consideration for traders evaluating its safety.

The broker provides multiple account types with varying deposit requirements and leverage options, aiming to accommodate different trading styles and capital levels. ITBfx is known for its trading contests and bonus promotions, which attract retail traders looking to test strategies or start with smaller capital.

ITBfx offers four main account types: Nano, Standard, ECN, and Crypto. The Nano account has a minimum deposit of $1 and maximum leverage of 1:200, suitable for beginners or small-scale traders. The Standard account starts at $50 with leverage up to 1:400. The ECN account requires a $100 deposit and offers leverage up to 1:500 with spreads from 0 and a $4 per lot commission. The Crypto account also requires a $100 minimum deposit but limits leverage to 1:50 and charges a commission of $1 to $10 per lot depending on the instrument.

Each account type targets different trader profiles: Nano and Standard for casual or entry-level traders, ECN for more active traders seeking tight spreads, and Crypto for those focused on digital assets.

The broker lists tradable instruments in forex, metals, indices, crypto, and stocks. Specific instruments are not detailed, but the range covers major forex pairs, precious metals like gold and silver, popular stock indices, selected cryptocurrencies, and individual equities. All trading is executed via MetaTrader 5, which provides advanced charting, automated trading capabilities, and a range of order types.

Leverage varies by account type and instrument, with forex pairs typically available at higher leverage (up to 1:500 on ECN), while crypto is capped at 1:50. Spreads are variable and depend on market conditions, with the ECN account offering spreads from 0 pips.

ITBfx does not publicly list its deposit or withdrawal methods. Based on user reports, deposits are processed within 24 hours, but withdrawal processing times and methods are inconsistent. Some traders report successful withdrawals, while others experience delays or rejections. The lack of transparent information on funding options is a concern for potential clients.

The broker's terms and conditions, particularly regarding bonuses, have been cited as unclear, leading to disputes over withdrawal eligibility. Traders are advised to review all conditions carefully before depositing.

ITBfx claims to have a 24/7 customer support team accessible via live chat and email. User reviews on Trustpilot (3.1/5) indicate mixed experiences: some praise the support for being helpful and responsive, while others report long wait times and unhelpful responses. The broker has no verified licenses, and aggregated industry data flags it as high risk (FXCanary Scam Risk Score: 75/100).

Given the lack of regulation and the volume of withdrawal complaints, traders should approach this broker with caution. ITBfx may appeal to those comfortable with higher risk and who prioritize trading contests over regulatory protection.
