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.
