Is Trading.com safe?

Safety summary

Client money is held separately from the firm's own money, at Top-tier banks. That separation is what makes your balance recoverable if the company fails, rather than part of the pool its creditors divide up.

Negative balance protection applies, so a losing position cannot take the account below zero and leave you owing the broker money.

Covered by FSCS up to £85,000 for eligible UK clients; ICF up to €20,000 for eligible EU clients, which pays eligible clients up to its limit if the firm fails owing client money.
