ZFX operates in your country (United States) — but holds no local license. You’d likely be onboarded under an offshore entity, which means weaker fund protection. Confirm which entity before depositing.

About ZFX

About ZFX

ZFX is the trading name of Zeal Capital Market (Seychelles) Limited, a company founded on March 29, 2018, and registered in Seychelles. It operates as part of the Zeal Group of Companies, a fintech conglomerate providing liquidity solutions in regulated markets. The broker offers forex and CFD trading to retail and institutional clients globally, with a strong online presence.

Regulation

ZFX holds two regulatory licenses: one from the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA, license 768451) for Inst Forex Execution (STP), and another from the Seychelles Financial Services Authority (FSA, license SD027) as an offshore derivatives trading license. The FCA is considered a top-tier regulator, while FSA is an offshore regulator. Clients should note that the FCA license applies to the UK entity, while the Seychelles entity serves most international clients.

Account Types

ZFX offers three account types to accommodate different trading styles and capital levels. The Mini account has a minimum deposit of $50 and spreads from 1.5 pips. The Standard STP account requires $200 minimum deposit and spreads from 1.3 pips. The ECN account requires a $1,000 minimum deposit and offers spreads from 0.2 pips. All accounts feature the same maximum leverage of 1:2000.

Platforms and Instruments

The broker provides the MetaTrader 4 (MT4) platform for trading, which is widely used for charting and automated trading. Tradable instruments include forex, indices, commodities, and cryptocurrencies, though specific instrument lists are not fully disclosed. The platform offers fast execution and a user-friendly interface.

Deposits and Withdrawals

ZFX supports several funding methods, though specific options are not listed in the provided data. Deposits are reported by users as fast, while withdrawals can be processed via bank transfer or other methods. The broker does not charge deposit fees, but withdrawal fees may apply depending on the method. Users should verify available options with the broker.

Target Audience

ZFX targets both novice and experienced traders, with account types ranging from low-minimum Mini accounts to high-volume ECN accounts. The high leverage of up to 1:2000 may appeal to aggressive traders, but the offshore regulation and mixed user reviews suggest it is best suited for traders who can navigate potential risks.
