Frequently asked
Is CFI a safe broker?
CFI scores 6.1 / 10 on our Trust Score, above the 5.3 average for brokers that hold a verified licence. It holds tier-1 regulation, which offers strong investor protection. It has no complaints on record with us. Trade only with funds you can afford to lose.
How is the CFI trust score calculated?
The score weighs five factors: regulation tier, transparency of disclosures, operating footprint, user sentiment, and complaint history. Each is scored out of 10 and combined into the overall figure shown at the top. Read our methodology.
What does "offshore regulated" mean?
It means the broker's licence comes from a jurisdiction with lighter requirements than tier-1 regulators like the FCA or ASIC. There's usually no compensation scheme, so recovering funds can be difficult if the broker fails.
Can I withdraw funds easily from CFI?
CFI publishes some trading terms, but always confirm withdrawal fees directly. Test with a small amount first and document every transaction.
