Is FXTM safe and legit?

Short answer, from public records

FXTM states licences from FSCA (FSP licence), FSC Mauritius, CMA Kenya, CMA UAE and FSCA (ODP licence). We matched 3 on the regulator's own register (FSCA, CMA Kenya, FSCA ODP). We found no regulator warning naming the firm itself. 15 warnings list look-alike sites copying its name.

Scam red flags to check yourself

  • Someone contacts you first (WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram, dating apps) and offers to trade for you.
  • Guaranteed or fixed returns, or “no-loss” accounts.
  • A web address that is close to, but not exactly, the broker's real site.
  • Pressure to deposit more before you can withdraw, or “tax/fees” to release your money.
  • The licence number on the site doesn't match the regulator's register, or the company name differs.
