What you can conclude

Brand-wide research records

Provider licence disclosure

StoneX Financial Ltd

FOREX.com's UK disclosure names StoneX Financial Ltd, FCA FRN 446717, and company number 05616586. These identify the UK entity, not every FOREX.com account worldwide.

Source disagreement — unresolved

StoneX Financial Ltd

The scheme distinction is confirmed: eligible investment claims have a limit of £85,000 per person and firm, separate from the £120,000 deposit limit. FOREX.com’s UK page still states £120,000; its applicability explanation remains unresolved. We do not present £120,000 as blanket account protection.
