Risk scorecard
Each area is scored 0 (clean) to 10 (worst). Higher means more risk.
Regulation
7/10 · HighOne genuine licence, confirmed in force on the Anjouan authority's own register, but a bottom-tier offshore regime with no compensation fund or segregation rule, expiring 20 October 2026, and no mainstream authorisation anywhere.
Identity & transparency
6/10 · HighEntity, registered office and licence number are published with a working verification link, but the Saint Lucia company cannot be confirmed on any public register, no owner or director is named, and the Trustpilot profile gives an address that matches nothing.
Withdrawals & conduct
8/10 · CriticalThirteen fund-integrity reports across two platforms meeting all four pattern tests, with amounts, dates and an account number, describing profits and deposits withheld after a suspension; credited against a handful of confirmed payouts and no advance-fee demand found.
Reputation
7/10 · HighTrustpilot 2.3 out of 5 with 78 percent one star, a documented Forex Peace Army case and expulsion from the Financial Commission, offset by the absence of any regulator warning naming this domain.
Website claims
7/10 · HighOver 17 years of experience is unsupported by the archive, and a single Anjouan licence is presented as valid regulation by reputable international authorities, though the Saint Lucia registration is described accurately and the lapsed Financial Commission claim was removed.
Operational history
6/10 · HighAbout 13 years of verified continuity under the same brand and domain, which counts in its favour, but the corporate vehicle has moved from Saint Vincent to Saint Lucia to a one-year-old Anjouan company, and the advertised age overstates the evidenced one.

Why we reached this verdict
How the evidence adds up.
We stopped short of calling this a scam because the licence is real and the business is real. We stopped well short of calling it safe because of what clients report happening to their money.
- The complaint pattern is consistent, specific and recent. Trustpilot carries 23 reviews at 2.3 out of 5, with 78 percent of them one star, and 12 of those describe money not coming back. The reviews describe the same sequence each time: the client trades to a profit, the account is suspended or closed, the reason given is 'arbitrage', 'manipulation' or a breach of trading rules, and then the deposit is withheld along with the profit. The accounts are checkable: 2,000 dollars deposited against 1,000 dollars of profit, 160 and 130 dollars of profit removed, 400 dollars held on a blocked account, and one trader who quotes MetaTrader account number 903886 after being told that 21 trades broke a 20-trade agreement.
- A second platform describes the same thing in more detail. A Forex Peace Army complaint sets out a 187.21 dollar deposit that grew to 1,152 dollars, a withdrawal refused on the grounds of manipulation and arbitrage, a request to return just the deposit that was answered with a refusal, and the MT5 account then deactivated. Different user, different platform, same mechanism. On the four tests we apply to complaint sets, this one meets all four, which is as strong as user reports get without a regulator or chargeback record behind them.
- The dispute body DeltaFX used as its safety credential threw it out. In 2019 the site told visitors it was a Category A member of the Financial Commission and that clients were covered up to 20,000 euro. The Financial Commission expelled DeltaFX on 31 October 2024, citing numerous failures to comply with its rules and guidelines, and its page for the broker now states that these clients are not protected. That is an independent body's formal finding about how this operation handled its obligations.
- The only supervision left is close to nominal. The licence checks out, but Anjouan is a sell-a-licence jurisdiction: the verification page's own small print refers the reader to a corporate services provider, and the regime has no compensation fund, no segregation rule and no enforcement a client could use. The licence also runs out on 20 October 2026, and the company holding it was formed on 20 October 2025.
- Nothing about the money trail is reversible. Deposits arrive by local Iranian rial transfer, Tether, TopChange or ZPay. No card network and no mainstream payment processor is involved, so a client who is refused a withdrawal has no chargeback and no payment provider to complain to.
- The corporate side cannot be checked. Saint Lucia's public company search returns domestic companies and business names, and International Business Companies are kept in a separate register that is not open to the public, so registration number 2024-00024 cannot be confirmed by anyone. Set against that, the broker's own Trustpilot profile lists its address as Wall St 14, 10005, New York, Austria, which matches neither the Saint Lucia imprint nor any real place, and no director or owner is named anywhere on the site.
- The history is overstated. Over 17 years of experience would mean trading since about 2009. The archive shows deltafx.com as a parked advertising page in 2010, and the first broker version of the site carries a 2013 copyright. The operation is genuinely long running, roughly 13 years, which is why we did not score it as new, but the advertised figure is not supported.
- What we did not find matters too. No regulator warning names deltafx.com. There is no clone: the licence number is this brand's own and we found no sign it borrows another firm's identity. The trading infrastructure is real, with its own MetaQuotes-hosted servers and official download links. Those findings kept this out of the scam bands.
Arithmetic: regulation 7 and identity 6 and withdrawal complaints 8 each count double, reputation 7, website claims 7 and operating history 4 count once, giving 60 over 9 weights, or 6.67 out of 10, so 67 percent. No evidence floor was triggered, because there is no regulator warning, no enforcement action and no confirmed misuse of another firm's credentials. The track record is about 13 years, so the young-broker adjustment does not apply either.
Evidence ledger
Every finding, with its source and how strongly it points.
E1The Anjouan authority's own register lists the licence: company name Deltafx, company number 16183, licence number L16182/DFX, status Active. The licence genuinely exists and is in force at the time of writing.
E2The same register entry prints a licence end date of 20 October 2026 and gives 20 October 2025 as the incorporation date of the licence-holding company, so the broker's only supervision is one year old and days from lapsing.
E3Trustpilot holds 23 reviews at 2.3 out of 5 with 78 percent one star. Twelve describe money not returned, with the same mechanism each time: a profit, the account suspended or closed for alleged arbitrage or a rule breach, then deposit and profit both withheld. Specifics include 2,000 dollars deposited against 1,000 dollars profit, 160 and 130 dollars of profit removed, 400 dollars on a blocked account, and MetaTrader account 903886.
E4A Forex Peace Army complaint sets out a 187.21 dollar deposit that grew to 1,152 dollars with 965.17 dollars of profit, a withdrawal refused for manipulation and arbitrage, a refusal to return even the deposit, and the MT5 account then deactivated. Same mechanism as the Trustpilot set, different user and different platform.
E5The Financial Commission expelled DeltaFX from membership on 31 October 2024 for what it describes as numerous failures to comply with its rules and guidelines, and states that its compensation fund does not cover these clients.
E6The January 2019 archived legal notice on deltafx.com claimed Category A membership of the Financial Commission with client cover up to 20,000 euro, which ties the expelled membership to this domain and brand by the broker's own statement.
E7The homepage advertises over 17 years of experience, implying about 2009. The archived copy of deltafx.com from May 2010 is a parked advertising page, and the first broker version of the site, captured in February 2015, carries a 2013 copyright notice. The advertised history exceeds the evidenced history by about four years.
E8The broker's own FAQ lists its only funding methods as Local Rial, Tether on TRC20 and BEP20, TopChange and ZPay, with withdrawal windows set in Iran time and closed on Fridays and Iranian holidays. No card or mainstream payment provider is offered, so a refused client has no chargeback.
E9Searching Saint Lucia's public company register for DELTAFX, DELTAFX PARTNERSHIP and 2024-00024 returns no record, while a control search for DELTA returns 11 other Delta entities with registration dates. Saint Lucia holds International Business Companies in a separate register that is not open to public search, so the registration cannot be confirmed by anyone.
E10The FCA warning headed DELTA FX, published 14 December 2022, names the website delta-fx.org and the telephone number +447537121973. Neither matches this broker's domain or published number, so the warning concerns a different operation, and no warning list names deltafx.com.
E11The platform page serves MetaQuotes-hosted installers for its own MT4 and MT5 servers, named Deltafx-Demo, Deltafx-Real and DeltaFx-Server, through official MetaQuotes download links rather than a self-hosted installer. A real trading operation sits behind the brand.
E12Archived snapshots run from 2002 to 2026 on this domain, with broker content under the DeltaFX brand from at least February 2015 and no period in which the domain hosted a different business while the brand was trading. The operating history is continuous, at roughly 13 years.
E13The current regulations page and site footer name only the Anjouan licence and correctly describe the Saint Lucia registration as a company registration that needs no separate brokerage licence. The lapsed Financial Commission claim has been removed rather than left on display.
ModerateDeltaFX regulations pageE14The broker's own Trustpilot business profile gives its contact address as Wall St 14, 10005, New York, Austria, which matches neither the Saint Lucia registered office published on its site nor any real location.
E15The legal documents page publishes versioned per-account agreements, dated 2024.02, that cap order and pending-order counts at 30, attach conditions to scalping and set separate terms for each bonus. Several complaints involve exactly these rules, so some disputes have a published basis.
E16The January 2019 legal notice on the same domain names a different operating company: DeltaFX Ltd, incorporated in St Vincent and the Grenadines as an International Business Company numbered 24975 IBC 2018. The operation has since re-papered into a Saint Lucia company and then an Anjouan licence holder.
E17The regulations page gives the registration number as 16182 while the authority's register prints company number 16183 for the licence holder. A one-digit inconsistency in the broker's own published licence details.
E18The published support line is a London number, +44 20 3376 6446, and the excluded-jurisdictions list covers the United States, EU, EEA, EFTA and Israel but not the United Kingdom, while the only licence held is Anjouan's. UK clients would have no authorisation, ombudsman or compensation scheme behind them.
The other side
The strongest case in this broker’s favour.
The case for DeltaFX, stated as fairly as we can put it.
- The licence is not invented. The Anjouan authority's register has the entry: Deltafx, L16182/DFX, Active. Plenty of brokers at this risk level are quoting numbers that do not exist, or that belong to somebody else. This one does not.
- The broker links to its own regulator. The regulations page carries a direct verification link rather than a picture of a badge, which is more than many licensed firms bother with.
- It is a real brokerage, not an empty shell. There are MetaQuotes-hosted MT4 and MT5 servers under its own name, official download links rather than a self-hosted installer, five documented account types and versioned account agreements. A pure boiler room does not usually build this much.
- The history is genuine. The same brand has run on the same domain for roughly 13 years, with a continuous archive trail and no sign that the domain was ever something else while the brand traded.
- Some clients do get paid. About a fifth of Trustpilot reviewers rate it five stars, and a September 2026 review specifically reports a withdrawal received without difficulty. Another reviewer describes several years of trading without incident.
- Some of the disputes have a rulebook behind them. The published account agreements do cap order counts, do set conditions on scalping and do attach terms to each bonus. A client who took a deposit bonus and then traded outside those terms may well have hit a rule rather than a theft, and at least two of the complaints read that way.
- It did not keep flying a dead flag. After the Financial Commission expulsion, the claim came off the site. The current regulations page claims only the Anjouan licence, and the footer describes the Saint Lucia registration accurately as a company registration that carries no separate licensing requirement, rather than dressing it up as regulation.
- No regulator has acted against it. The FCA warning that search engines attach to the name Delta FX is about a different website, and no warning list searched names deltafx.com.
What this does not answer is the central complaint. Voiding a bonus or cancelling trades that broke a published rule is one thing. Keeping the client's original deposit as well, and switching the account off, is another, and that is what the most detailed accounts describe.
What would change this
What we would need to see to revise the verdict.
Concrete things that would move this verdict in either direction.
- Towards safe: renewal of the Anjouan licence past 20 October 2026, shown on the authority's register, so that the only supervision on the business does not lapse.
- Towards safe: a run of independently dated withdrawal confirmations from clients who had previously been refused, or public resolution of the named cases, including the 1,152 dollar Forex Peace Army case and the account quoted as 903886.
- Towards safe: readmission to a credible dispute-resolution scheme, or any binding external route a client could actually use.
- Towards safe: a confirmable corporate record for DeltaFx Partnership, a named owner or director, and a single consistent registered address across the site and its review profiles.
- Towards safe: a licence from a regulator that supervises client money, with the trading entity itself named on it.
- Towards scam: a warning or alert from any regulator naming deltafx.com, which would be a decisive finding rather than a user report.
- Towards scam: any credible, specific report that a further payment, a tax or a release fee was demanded before funds would be paid out. None has been found, and one would change the verdict sharply.
- Towards scam: the Anjouan licence lapsing while the site keeps advertising it, or the complaint pattern continuing into a fresh cluster after 20 October 2026.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about this broker’s safety.
Is DeltaFX a scam?
Not proven, but we rate it high risk at 67 percent. The broker holds a genuine Anjouan licence and runs real trading servers, so it is not a fake shopfront. What concerns us is that 13 clients across Trustpilot and Forex Peace Army describe the same sequence: a profit, an account suspended for alleged arbitrage or a rule breach, and then the deposit kept along with the profit.
Is DeltaFX a fraud?
No regulator, court or enforcement body has found fraud against DeltaFX or deltafx.com, and we found no such record. What we did find is a consistent pattern of clients reporting that profits and deposits were not returned, and an expulsion by the dispute body the broker once advertised as client protection. On that evidence we assess the risk of losing money here as high, but we are not in a position to allege a crime, and we do not.
Is DeltaFX regulated?
It holds one licence, from the Finance Authority of the Autonomous Island of Anjouan in the Union of Comoros, number L16182/DFX. That authority's own register shows it as Active with an end date of 20 October 2026. It holds no licence from any mainstream regulator such as the FCA, CySEC, ASIC or BaFin.
What is the Anjouan AOFA licence actually worth?
Very little in practice. Anjouan sells international brokerage licences without the things that protect a client: there is no compensation fund, no requirement to keep client money separate from company money, and no realistic enforcement if the broker refuses to pay. The verification page's own small print points readers to a corporate services provider, which tells you what kind of arrangement this is.
Can I withdraw my money from DeltaFX?
Many clients do, and a September 2026 reviewer reports a withdrawal received without problems. But the most common complaint is the opposite: withdrawal requests refused, accounts suspended during review, and the original deposit withheld as well as the profit. The broker publishes that every withdrawal is manually reviewed and that accounts can be suspended if abnormal activity is detected.
Is my money safe with DeltaFX?
No, not in the sense most people mean. There is no deposit protection scheme, no client-money segregation requirement and no ombudsman. Funding is by Iranian rial transfer, Tether, TopChange or ZPay, none of which can be reversed, so if a withdrawal is refused there is no chargeback route.
Who owns DeltaFX and where is it based?
The contracting company is DeltaFx Partnership, a Saint Lucia International Business Company numbered 2024-00024, with a registered office at Ground Floor, The Sotheby Building, Rodney Bay, Gros-Islet. No owner or director is named on the site. The day-to-day operation is clearly aimed at Iran: the site offers Persian-language support, local rial deposits and withdrawal hours set in Iran time.
How old is DeltaFX?
The site advertises over 17 years of experience, which would mean trading since about 2009. The archived record does not support that: deltafx.com was a parked advertising page in 2010, and the first broker version of the site carries a 2013 copyright. So the brand has run for roughly 13 years. The companies behind it are much newer, with the oldest datable one formed in 2018 and the current Anjouan licence holder formed in October 2025.
Is DeltaFX a clone of another broker?
No. The licence number, the entity name and the brand show no sign that DeltaFX is using another company's credentials or imitating a regulated firm. The licence L16182/DFX is its own.
Does the FCA warning about Delta FX apply to deltafx.com?
No, and this trips people up. The FCA published a warning headed DELTA FX on 14 December 2022, but it names the website delta-fx.org and the phone number +447537121973, which belong to a different operation. No regulator warning we could find names deltafx.com.
Why was DeltaFX expelled from the Financial Commission?
The Financial Commission removed DeltaFX from membership on 31 October 2024, citing numerous failures to comply with its rules and guidelines. The practical effect is that its compensation fund no longer covers DeltaFX clients, which the Commission states directly on its page for the broker. The Financial Commission is a private industry dispute body, not a regulator, so this is not a regulatory sanction, but it is an independent finding about how the firm met its obligations.
Why do clients say their profits were cancelled for arbitrage?
Arbitrage and manipulation are the reasons most often quoted back to complainants when a withdrawal is refused. The broker's published account agreements do set order limits, scalping conditions and bonus terms, so some disputes may genuinely involve a rule. The part that is hard to justify is keeping the client's original deposit as well, which is what the most detailed accounts describe.
What should I check before depositing with any broker like this?
Four things. Open the regulator's register yourself and read the licence end date rather than the status word. Check whether the company that takes your money is the same one named on the licence. Check whether you can fund by card, because a card gives you a chargeback and crypto does not. And search the exact domain, not the brand name, so you see complaints about this operation rather than a similarly named one.
What do I do if DeltaFX will not pay me?
Put the request in writing to support@deltafx.com and keep the thread. File a complaint with the Anjouan authority using the form on its register page. Post a dated account with exact sums, your account number and the reason you were given on Forex Peace Army and Trustpilot, because specific records are what make a case usable. If you funded by local bank transfer, report it to your bank. And ignore anyone who approaches you offering to recover the money for an upfront fee.
Scan history
How this broker’s safety assessment has changed across scans.
What changed since September 9, 2026
The licence record is the one substantive change. The Anjouan register entry for Deltafx now carries dates that our file did not hold: a licence end date of 20 October 2026 and an incorporation date of 20 October 2025 for the Anjouan company that holds it, number 16183, so the broker's only licence is days from expiry at the time of writing. Further complaints about funds not being returned were posted in September 2026, alongside one report of a withdrawal received without difficulty. Otherwise the input facts are unchanged: the same single Anjouan licence L16182/DFX, the same Saint Lucia registration 2024-00024 at the same Rodney Bay address, the same four social accounts, the same main domain, and no sign of cloning. The Financial Commission membership remains expelled and is still absent from the broker's own regulation page.

What we recommend
The practical takeaway from everything above.
Our advice for anyone holding or considering an account here.
- Do not deposit money you need back. The protection behind this account is a bottom-tier offshore licence with no compensation fund, and it is due to expire on 20 October 2026.
- If you have a balance, request it now and keep it small. The reports that repeat most often involve accounts that had grown through profits, not fresh deposits.
- Read the agreement for your specific account type before you trade, especially the order limits, scalping conditions and anything attached to a bonus. Refusals here are routinely justified by those clauses, so declining a bonus removes a large part of the argument.
- Keep your own records. Save deposit receipts, withdrawal request timestamps, trade history exports and the full chat or ticket thread. Every complaint that got traction had this; the vague ones did not.
- Understand that your payment route has no reversal. Rial transfers and Tether cannot be charged back. There is no card issuer or payment provider to appeal to.
- Verify the licence yourself on the Anjouan authority's register and check the licence end date rather than the status line.
- If you are refused: put the demand in writing to support@deltafx.com, file a complaint with the Anjouan authority through the form on its register page, and post a dated, itemised account on Forex Peace Army and Trustpilot. Specific sums and dates are what make a case readable.
- Ignore anyone who contacts you offering to recover your funds for a fee. Sites advertising recovery services around this broker's name are already circulating, and upfront-fee recovery is its own scam.
