World Forex is an online forex and CFD broker operating under the brand name worldforex, accessible at wforex.ae. The broker was established in 2019 (according to official records) and is registered in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. It has no top-tier regulation on file, which is a significant factor for traders to consider. Despite this, the broker presents itself as an international financial services provider with a long track record, claiming origins dating back to 2007.

The broker targets retail traders with low minimum deposits and high leverage options. Its website is available in multiple languages, including Arabic, suggesting a focus on Middle Eastern and Russian-speaking markets. The company description from our records indicates a wide range of trading services, including forex, commodities, and share CFDs, with support for both MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 platforms.

Our known facts show that World Forex is registered at Suite 305, Griffith Corporate Centre, P.O. Box 1510, Beachmont, Kingstown, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, a common jurisdiction for offshore brokers. The broker's own website, however, also lists registrations in the British Virgin Islands (BVI), Vanuatu, and Wales. Specifically, it mentions Existrade Ltd as the operating entity, with a Vanuatu registration number No300236 and a Saint Vincent registration number 24441 IBC 2018.

The multiple registrations and claims raise questions about the true corporate structure. The broker states that its brand was transferred to Existrade Ltd in 2016. It is important to note that Vanuatu's VFSC does not regulate forex brokers in the same manner as top-tier authorities, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines does not have a dedicated forex regulator. Therefore, World Forex operates without meaningful oversight from a financial regulatory body.

World Forex is not regulated by any top-tier financial authority such as the FCA, CySEC, or ASIC. Our records confirm no regulators on file. The broker's website claims membership in The Financial Commission, an independent external dispute resolution (EDR) organization, but this is not a regulatory license. The Financial Commission provides a compensation fund of up to €20,000 per claim and facilitates dispute resolution, but it does not supervise the broker's operations.

The lack of regulation means traders do not have access to investor compensation schemes or strict oversight. The broker's risk score from FXCanary is 46 out of 100, labeled as 'Guarded,' indicating a cautious assessment. Traders should be aware of the elevated risks associated with unregulated brokers.

World Forex offers six account types designed to cater to different trading styles. The W-DIGITAL account has no specified leverage, while W-CRYPTO offers 1:25 leverage. The W-PROFI, W-PROFI-fix, W-CENT, and W-CENT-fix accounts all provide leverage up to 1:1000. All accounts have a minimum deposit of $1, making them accessible to beginners. The accounts are available in USD and EUR, and some are offered in cents (W-CENT variants) for micro-trading.

The broker advertises spreads from 1.8 pips fixed for W-CENT-fix, and variable spreads for other accounts. It supports both market execution and instant execution depending on the account type. Expert Advisors (EAs) are allowed, and the broker provides VPS services for automated trading. The maximum number of open positions is limited per account, though specifics are not publicly listed.

World Forex provides the popular MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 trading platforms, available for desktop, web, and mobile devices (iOS/Android). These platforms offer advanced charting, technical indicators, and automated trading capabilities. The broker also mentions a web trader version for instant access.

According to its website, the broker offers over 200 trading instruments, including forex currency pairs, commodities (gold, silver, oil), and share CFDs. Cryptocurrency trading is available through the W-CRYPTO account. However, our known facts list the instrument field as empty, so the exact instrument list is not verified. The broker also provides educational resources such as market surveys, news, and an economic calendar.

World Forex supports a range of payment methods, including bank cards (Visa, MasterCard), and likely other online payment systems. The website states that the broker may request identity verification and card copies for processing payments. Withdrawals are claimed to be processed within 30 minutes, which is significantly faster than industry averages.

The broker offers a 100% deposit bonus and cashback up to $12 per lot traded. It also compensates payment system commissions on deposits. These promotions can be attractive but often come with trading volume requirements. The broker's withdrawal policy may require documentation, and traders should read the terms carefully.
