Exelium's front page says it keeps your money secure in segregated accounts. Exelium Ltd's contract has no client money section, and never says where your deposit is held.
Why this matters
Nothing in your contract stops Exelium Ltd from holding your deposit in its own account. Clause 26.1 lets it set off what it says you owe against any account you hold, without notice.
Exhibit 1Every flagged clause gets its own number so you can point at this one. The number does not change, so a link to it keeps working.CriticalHow much this clause can cost you, in our reading. Critical can take your money or your profit. Warning can delay or limit it. Notice is simply worth knowing before you sign.Rarely seenHow ordinary this wording looks next to the contracts we read. This is our reading of the clause, not a count of other brokers.
The Company ensures to promptly place any Client money segregated from the Company’s own accounts and opened with an approved bank and/or a payment provider that has been assessed by the Company and/or approved by the Company’s Management.
Firms licensed by the FCA, CySEC or ASIC must hold retail client money in segregated client bank accounts and check them against their own records. The Exelium Ltd agreement contains no client money clause at all.
Exelium is not licensed by these regulators, so this is a comparison of practice, not a finding of any breach.
Our readingOur own comment on the clause, not the broker's words. Anything we quote is marked as a quotation.Most retail client agreements carry a client money section saying where deposits sit and on what terms. This one has none, while the same group's Seychelles agreement gives the subject eight clauses.
- Worse together with Exhibit 6Read these two clauses together. Each one costs more because the other exists.Your deposit has no stated home and no stated route out of the account.
