Risk scorecard
Each area is scored 0 (clean) to 10 (worst). Higher means more risk.
Regulation
7/10 · HighA genuine Seychelles Securities Dealer licence (SD238) confirmed on the regulator's register, but it is held by Exelium Global Ltd while the Anguilla company that takes client deposits holds no licence at all.
Identity & transparency
4/10 · ModerateEntity, registration number, registered office and the group licence are all disclosed and match the registry and register; against that, no owners or managers are named, no social accounts are published, and the stated physical address is a suite in a multi-tenant offshore services building.
Withdrawals & conduct
5/10 · ModerateThree fund-integrity complaints in a two-week window, two of them from one referral cluster, none with amounts, dates or ticket numbers; the broker answered all three publicly and says deposits were returned with only bonus profits reversed, and one client reports fast withdrawals.
Reputation
6/10 · HighA very thin footprint for an operation running a 100 percent bonus and a prop programme, four Trustpilot reviews with a negative tilt, and aggregator pages labelling it unregulated, set against the absence of any regulator alert worldwide.
Website claims
5/10 · ModerateNo tier-one claim, no fake founding year and the group licence is correctly labelled as a group regulation; offset by an award from a forex information website, a segregated-funds assurance with no licensed entity behind it, no register verify link, and 1:5000 leverage with a bonus withdrawable after one lot.
Operational history
5/10 · ModerateThree years and three months of verified corporate history (Anguilla, 29 June 2023), the contracting entity now pending strike-off, the sister company undatable because Seychelles publishes no public company register, and a 2003 domain whose archive record breaks between 2018 and 2024.
Who they are
A quick desk file on the company behind the brand.
- Brand: Exelium, trading at exelium.com with a sister site at exeliumglobal.com.
- Legal entity you contract with: Exelium Ltd, a private company limited incorporated in Anguilla on 29 June 2023, registration A000001254, registered agent Fortgate Corporate Services (Anguilla) Ltd.
- Registered office: The Valley, AI-2640, No.8 Cassius Webster Building, Grace Complex, Anguilla. The registry entry matches the address printed on the site.
- Physical address given: Suite Number 1 at Place Creole, Rodney Bay, Gros Islet, Saint Lucia, with a Saint Lucia phone number. That building is used as the address of several other offshore financial firms.
- Licence holder in the group: Exelium Global Ltd, CT House, Office 5E, Providence, Mahe, Seychelles, Securities Dealer licence SD238.
- Only licence: Seychelles FSA SD238, a low-tier offshore dealing licence, held by the Seychelles company and not by the Anguilla company that holds client funds.
- Offers: MetaTrader 5 trading in forex, commodities, indices, share CFDs and crypto CFDs; four live account types plus an Islamic account; a 100 percent deposit bonus up to 10,000 USD that becomes withdrawable after one lot; a rebate scheme and a wheel-of-fortune promotion; leverage up to 1:5000 on its Powerful Leverage account and 1:1000 on its standard leverage table; minimum deposits from 5 USD; and a separate prop-trading challenge programme with funded accounts at 1:30.

Anguilla Commercial Registry
Why we reached this verdict
How the evidence adds up.
Two findings carry this verdict, and both come from primary records rather than opinion.
- The company taking deposits is in default at its own registry. The Anguilla Commercial Registry's public search returns one match for Exelium: EXELIUM Ltd., registration A000001254, registered 29 June 2023, last annual return and fee 2025, status Pending Strike-off. The client portal at secure.exelium.com is open and onboarding at the same time, and the agreement it asks new clients to accept is the Exelium Ltd client agreement. A company heading toward strike-off is a weak counterparty for money you expect back.
- The licence sits beside the business, not over it. Exelium Global Ltd is a genuine Seychelles Securities Dealer, confirmed on the Financial Services Authority's own register of regulated entities, which records its website as exeliumglobal.com. That site carries the full Seychelles document set in the Seychelles company's name: client services agreement, complaint handling policy, conflicts of interest policy and a key fact statement. It has no account opening at all. The flagship site, exelium.com, is where accounts are opened, and it publishes only two documents, both in the name of the unlicensed Anguilla company. So the regulated entity holds the paperwork and the unregulated entity holds the clients.
- The complaint picture is real but thin and disputed. Trustpilot's page for exelium.com shows four reviews at 3.0, three of them one-star between 31 March and 9 April 2026. None gives an amount, a date, a ticket number or an account reference. Exelium replied to all three, stating that the accounts were suspended and profits reversed for bonus hedging abuse by members of one trading team introduced by the same referrer, and that the initial deposits were withdrawn. Two of the three complainants are, on the broker's own account and on the evidence of their posting pattern, from that single cluster, so this is one signal rather than three. The pattern meets two of the four tests we apply, which is not enough to call it established.
- Promotions that invite exactly that dispute. A 100 percent deposit bonus that becomes withdrawable cash after a single lot, combined with leverage up to 1:5000 and a wheel-of-fortune promotion, is a structure that attracts bonus arbitrage and then gives the broker grounds to cancel the resulting profits. Clients on both sides of that mechanic can end up worse off than the marketing suggests.
- Nothing of the scam class was found. No regulator alert names the brand or either domain, the licence number is not another firm's, the registered address matches the registry, no predecessor brand or borrowed identity turned up, and the group structure is disclosed in the footer rather than hidden. That is why this is filed as high risk and not as a scam.
- Age is modest and the figure is an upper bound. exelium.com was registered in December 2003, but the archive record shows an unrelated business on it until 2018, a gap to 2024, and the trading site only afterward, so that 22-year domain age is not operating history. The company behind it is three years and three months old. Seychelles does not publish a public company register, so Exelium Global Ltd could not be dated, which means the track record rests on the Anguilla incorporation and could only be shorter, not longer.
Evidence ledger
Every finding, with its source and how strongly it points.
E1The Anguilla Commercial Registry public search returns one match for Exelium: EXELIUM Ltd., registration A000001254, registered 29 June 2023, private company limited, registered office The Valley AI-2640, No.8 Cassius Webster Building, Grace Complex, last annual return and fee 2025, status Pending Strike-off, registered agent Fortgate Corporate Services (Anguilla) Ltd. The filing list shows a certificate of incorporation dated 29 June 2023 and annual returns for 2024 and 2025 only.
E2The Seychelles Financial Services Authority register of regulated entities lists EXELIUM GLOBAL LTD under Securities Dealer, with the address CT House, Office 5E, Providence, Mahe, the phone number +248 4374405, the email finance@exeliumglobal.com and the website https://www.exeliumglobal.com. The licence holder is therefore a real, currently listed Seychelles dealer, and the website it records is one of Exelium's own domains.
E3Exelium's own footer, on every page of both sites, states that Exelium is a trading name of Exelium Ltd, incorporated in Anguilla with registration number A000001254, and separately that, under Other Group Regulations, Exelium Global Ltd is authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority in Seychelles with license no. SD238. The site publishes no link to the regulator's register for that licence.
E4The flagship site publishes only two legal documents, a client services agreement and a privacy policy, both in the name of the Anguilla company, and it is the site that opens and funds accounts. The sister site for the licensed Seychelles company publishes a full regulated document set, including a complaint handling policy, a conflicts of interest policy and a key fact statement under the Seychelles consumer protection framework, and has no account opening at all. Clients are therefore onboarded by the unlicensed entity while the regulated entity holds the protections.
E5The client portal is live and onboarding: the registration form collects identity and country details and asks new clients to accept the Exelium client agreement and the Exelium Ltd privacy policy, confirming that the Anguilla company is the counterparty for new accounts.
E6A keyword search of IOSCO's I-SCAN alerts network, which aggregates the investor alert and warning lists of its member regulators, returns no record for Exelium. The same search returns six records for an unrelated control term, so the search itself works and the absence is a genuine negative.
E7Trustpilot's page for exelium.com carries four reviews at a score of 3.0: one five-star from a reviewer claiming more than a year as a client with fast withdrawals, and three one-star reviews dated 31 March to 9 April 2026 alleging lost money, none of which gives an amount, a date, a ticket number or an account reference. Exelium replied to all three, stating that the accounts were suspended and profits reversed for bonus hedging abuse by members of one trading team introduced by the same referrer, and that the initial deposits were withdrawn.
E8The promotional structure is aggressive: a 100 percent deposit bonus up to 10,000 USD that the page says is withdrawable after trading just one lot, alongside a rebate scheme and a wheel-of-fortune promotion, with leverage advertised up to 1:5000 on the Powerful Leverage account and 1:1000 on the standard leverage table, and minimum deposits from 5 USD. This is the design that produces the bonus-abuse disputes seen in the reviews.
E9Domain records show exelium.com registered on 31 December 2003 and exeliumglobal.com on 19 December 2024, both at the same registrar and on the same pair of nameservers, which ties the two sites to one operator. Archive records for exelium.com show snapshots from 2004 to 2018, then a gap, with the trading site appearing only from 2024, so the domain's age belongs to a previous, unrelated use and not to this broker.
E10The contact page gives the Anguilla registered office and, separately, a physical address of Suite Number 1 at Place Creole, Rodney Bay, Gros Islet, with a Saint Lucia telephone number. That building is published as the address of several other offshore financial firms, so it functions as a shared business-services address rather than evidence of a dedicated staffed office.
E11A broker-review aggregator concluded in December 2025 that Exelium appears to operate without a valid financial licence from any recognised authority, and its later Q and A notes that the registered website on the Seychelles authorisation is exeliumglobal.com rather than exelium.com. The first point is accurate for the contracting entity; the second is not evidence of cloning, since both domains belong to the same group.
E12Exelium also sells prop-trading evaluation challenges, with two phases and funded accounts at 1:30 leverage, alongside its live MetaTrader 5 accounts. Because it takes client deposits for live trading, the full broker analysis applies and the prop programme does not change its classification.
E13The homepage headline award, Best Spreads and Order Execution, is credited to a forex information website rather than an independent industry audit, and cannot be verified against any public judging record. Deposits run through three niche payment processors with no card scheme or bank-wire branding displayed.
E14No predecessor brand, borrowed licence number, shared support phone or reused legal entity turned up for this operation, and no other broker was found operating from the same contact details. The registered office on the site matches the Anguilla registry entry exactly, and the licence number resolves to a company inside the same group rather than to an unrelated firm.
The other side
The strongest case in this broker’s favour.
The case for Exelium deserves a fair hearing, and several points in its favour are stronger than its public reputation suggests.
- The Seychelles licence is real. The Financial Services Authority's register of Securities Dealers lists EXELIUM GLOBAL LTD with a Seychelles address, phone, email and the website exeliumglobal.com. Because that website is one of Exelium's own domains, this is a genuine group entity and not an impersonation of some other company.
- The footer does not overstate it. The site labels the licence as a group regulation held by Exelium Global Ltd, rather than claiming the Anguilla company is regulated. That is more candid than most of this segment manages, and the site makes no tier-one regulatory claim, no guaranteed-return promise and no false founding year.
- The Seychelles entity behaves like a supervised firm on paper, publishing a complaint handling policy, a conflicts of interest policy and a key fact statement under the Seychelles consumer protection framework.
- There is no official adverse record. A search of IOSCO's alerts network returns nothing for Exelium, and we found no enforcement action and no fraud-related court record naming either company.
- The negative reviews are weak as evidence. They contain no amounts, dates or ticket numbers, two of the three come from the same introducing referrer, and the broker answered every one within two weeks and states the deposits were returned.
- Bonus hedging is a genuine abuse that mainstream, well-regulated brokers also penalise by voiding bonus profits, so a cancelled bonus profit is not automatically theft. Reversing profit while returning principal is consistent with what the broker says happened.
- One client with a year of history reports low spreads, helpful support and fast withdrawals.
- Pending strike-off at an offshore registry usually means an unpaid annual fee or a late filing, and it can be cured by paying and filing. It is not a dissolution, and the company remains on the register for now.
What would change this
What we would need to see to revise the verdict.
These are the specific things that would move this verdict in either direction.
- Toward safer: the Anguilla Commercial Registry showing EXELIUM Ltd. restored to good standing, with the 2026 annual return filed. That would remove the single most concrete finding here.
- Toward safer: client agreements moved to Exelium Global Ltd under licence SD238, with the Seychelles entity named as the counterparty in the signup flow and in the deposit terms.
- Toward safer: a verify link published next to the licence number, pointing at the regulator's register, plus named directors and management on the site.
- Toward safer: six months or more with no fund-integrity complaints, and withdrawal confirmations that carry amounts and dates.
- Toward a scam verdict: any regulator alert naming exelium.com or Exelium Ltd; a demand for a tax, fee or deposit before releasing a withdrawal, evidenced with the account details; or three or more specific, dated withdrawal refusals from unconnected clients on at least two platforms.
- Toward a scam verdict: the Anguilla company actually struck off while the site keeps taking deposits, or the Seychelles licence lapsing while the group keeps advertising it.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about this broker’s safety.
Is Exelium a scam?
On the evidence we could verify, no, it is not a confirmed scam, but it is high risk. No regulator has issued a warning about it, its Seychelles group licence is genuine, and the complaints we found carry no verifiable detail. The serious problem is structural: the company that takes your money, Exelium Ltd of Anguilla, has no financial licence and is listed as pending strike-off at the Anguilla Commercial Registry.
Is Exelium a fraud?
We found no evidence of fraud. No regulator warning, no enforcement action and no fraud-related court record names Exelium Ltd, Exelium Global Ltd or either website. We do assess the risk of loss as elevated, because the entity holding client funds is unlicensed and in default at its registry, but that is a risk assessment rather than a finding of criminal conduct.
Is Exelium regulated?
Partly, and not where it matters most. Exelium Global Ltd holds Securities Dealer licence SD238 from the Seychelles Financial Services Authority, which is listed on the regulator's own register. Exelium Ltd of Anguilla, which is the party to the client agreement on exelium.com, holds no financial licence from any authority. Anguilla company registration is a corporate filing, not regulation.
Who actually holds my money if I open an account?
The footer and the signup flow point to Exelium Ltd, incorporated in Anguilla with registration A000001254. The licensed Seychelles company, Exelium Global Ltd, publishes its own documents on exeliumglobal.com, but that site has no account opening. Before you deposit, ask Exelium in writing which legal entity your account is with and get the answer in writing.
What does Pending Strike-off mean for Exelium Ltd?
It is the status the Anguilla Commercial Registry showed for EXELIUM Ltd. on 14 October 2026, with its last annual return and fee recorded for 2025. It usually means annual filings or fees are outstanding, and it is the step before a company is removed from the register. The company still exists for now and the status can be cured by filing and paying, but a counterparty in that state is a poor custodian for money you expect back.
Can I withdraw my money from Exelium?
Some clients say yes. One Trustpilot reviewer with more than a year of history reports fast withdrawals, and the broker states that in the disputed cases the original deposits were paid out. Three one-star reviewers in spring 2026 said they lost money after their accounts were suspended and bonus-related profits were reversed. Keep deposits small, withdraw regularly rather than letting a balance build, and document every request.
Is the Seychelles licence SD238 worth anything?
It is real but weak. A Seychelles Securities Dealer licence is a low-tier offshore permission: it requires capital and compliance officers, but it carries no investor compensation scheme and offers little practical recourse to a client outside Seychelles. It also covers Exelium Global Ltd only, so it does not protect money held by the Anguilla company.
Is exelium.com a clone of another broker?
No. The Seychelles register entry records exeliumglobal.com as the licence holder's website, and that site serves the same brand pages and names the same Anguilla company in its footer. The licence number does not belong to an unrelated firm, and the registered address on the site matches the Anguilla registry exactly.
How old is Exelium?
About three years and three months. The company was incorporated in Anguilla on 29 June 2023. The domain exelium.com dates from December 2003, but archive records show an unrelated business on it until 2018 and the trading site only from 2024, so that domain age is not trading history. Seychelles does not publish a public company register, so the sister company could not be dated, which means the figure could only be shorter.
What is the catch with the 100 percent deposit bonus?
The offer matches your deposit up to 10,000 USD and says the bonus becomes withdrawable after trading just one lot. Bonus money always comes with conditions in the client agreement, and Exelium has publicly cancelled profits it judged to be bonus hedging abuse and suspended the accounts involved. If you take a bonus, read the agreement first and accept that profits earned with bonus funds can be challenged.
Is leverage of 1:5000 safe?
No. Exelium advertises up to 1:5000 on its Powerful Leverage account and 1:1000 on its standard leverage table. At 1:5000 a move of a fraction of a percent against you can wipe out the position. Regulators in the United Kingdom, the European Union and Australia cap retail leverage near 1:30 for exactly this reason, and extreme leverage is a marketing feature, not a sign of strength.
Why do some review sites call Exelium unregulated or a scam?
Several aggregator pages reached that conclusion in late 2025 on the basis that Anguilla company registration is not financial regulation, which is correct as far as the contracting entity goes. Some of those pages were written before the Seychelles licence appeared on the register, and at least one treats the two Exelium domains as unrelated. The accurate position is narrower: a real offshore licence exists in the group, and the company taking deposits is not covered by it.
What should I check before depositing with Exelium?
Four things. Search the Anguilla Commercial Registry for A000001254 and read the status. Confirm in writing which entity your account is with. Open the Seychelles register and check that SD238 is still listed for Exelium Global Ltd. And test the withdrawal process with a small amount before committing anything larger.
What do I do if I cannot get my money out?
Put the request in writing with dates, amounts and ticket numbers, and ask for a written reason for any refusal. Use the complaint handling policy published for Exelium Global Ltd, and escalate to the Seychelles Financial Services Authority where that entity is involved. Contact your bank or payment provider about a chargeback quickly, since time limits apply. Never pay a fee, tax or charge to unlock your own funds, and avoid anyone promising to recover losses for an upfront payment.
Scan history
How this broker’s safety assessment has changed across scans.
What changed since September 12, 2026
Two input facts have moved since the previous scan, both on the corporate record rather than the licences.
- The Anguilla Commercial Registry now shows EXELIUM Ltd., registration A000001254, with the status Pending Strike-off and its last annual return and fee recorded for 2025. The previous scan recorded the company without a status.
- The incorporation date is now established: 29 June 2023, from the registry's own record and its certificate of incorporation filing.
- Unchanged: the Seychelles FSA licence SD238 held by Exelium Global Ltd remains listed on the regulator's register of Securities Dealers; the domains exeliumglobal.com, webtrader.exelium.com and secure.exelium.com are unchanged; no social profiles are published by the broker; and there is still no sign of cloning.

What we recommend
The practical takeaway from everything above.
Treat Exelium as high risk and act accordingly.
- Before depositing, check the Anguilla registry entry yourself: search Exelium or A000001254 on the Anguilla Commercial Registry public search and read the status column. You are contracting with that company.
- Do not send money you cannot afford to lose, and keep deposits small. There is no compensation scheme behind either entity, and the Seychelles licence does not cover the company that holds your balance.
- Think carefully before taking the 100 percent deposit bonus. Bonus funds come with trading conditions, and the broker has publicly cancelled profits it judged to be bonus abuse.
- Leverage of 1:5000 can erase an account in a single move. Nothing about it is a sign of strength.
- Keep your own records: deposit receipts, withdrawal requests with dates and amounts, chat transcripts and ticket numbers. Vague complaints are the reason most disputes in this segment go nowhere.
- If a withdrawal is refused or a balance is adjusted, put the request in writing, cite the complaint handling policy published by Exelium Global Ltd, and escalate to the Seychelles Financial Services Authority if the Seychelles entity is involved in your account. Where the Anguilla company is your counterparty, raise a dispute with your payment provider promptly.
- Never pay a fee, tax or charge to release your own funds, and ignore anyone offering to recover losses for an upfront payment.
- The group licence does not cover the contracting entity.
