Do not invest more money than you can afford to lose.
ThinkMarkets, a forex brokerage licensed in Australia and the UK, formerly known as ThinkForex, announced it has renewed its £1 million additional customer insurance protection.
As a holder of a forex brokerage license from UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the company is required to offer its clients protection for at least £50 000 under the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS).
“We are proud to be able to call our comprehensive and additional offer of £1 million insurance protection the highest amount currently available in the UK market,” said Faizan Anees, co-founder of ThinkMarkets “We take security very seriously and is a clear demonstration that we continue to strive for excellence in client service.”
According to the media statement, the additional £1 million protection is for each client and only one other UK-regulated forex broker is offering the same sum.
Contenders in Canada offer CAD$ 1 million – from the Canadian Investor Protection Fund – and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation in the USA offer US$ 500 000.
