Risk scorecard
Each area is scored 0 (clean) to 10 (worst). Higher means more risk.
Regulation
7/10 · HighReal but weak offshore Seychelles licence (SD238) verified on the register, yet held by a sister company while the Anguilla entity that takes deposits is unregulated and the main site omits the licence.
Identity & transparency
6/10 · HighCore entity, registration number and address are disclosed, but client funds sit with a different company than the licence, the main site hides the licence, and a Saint Lucia phone number adds a third jurisdiction.
Withdrawals & conduct
5/10 · ModerateA few disputed fund-integrity complaints (cancelled profits, slow withdrawals); the two clearest come from one linked team and the company says deposits were returned, so no confirmed systematic denial.
Reputation
6/10 · HighThin footprint (four Trustpilot reviews, 3.0 average) with mixed and mostly low-specificity scam allegations and no regulator warning-list entry.
Website claims
5/10 · ModerateDescribes itself as award-winning and multi-licensed on the strength of one low-tier award and a single offshore licence, and understates its actual regulation on the main site.
Operational history
6/10 · HighAbout two years of real operation on a 2003 domain that served parked pages until 2024; the raw domain age overstates the track record.

Why we reached this verdict
How the evidence adds up.
Exelium sits in the high-risk, unverified band for four main reasons.
- The entity that holds your money is unregulated. On exelium.com you contract with Exelium Ltd, an Anguilla company. Registration number A000001254 is a company incorporation, not a financial licence, and no financial regulator supervises this entity.
- The only real licence is offshore and sits on a different company. Exelium Global Ltd holds Seychelles FSA licence SD238. We confirmed it on the regulator's own register, where it is tied to the domain exeliumglobal.com. Seychelles is a light-touch offshore regulator with no meaningful retail compensation scheme, and the licence does not cover the Anguilla entity that takes deposits through the main site.
- The operation is young. The current broker content on exelium.com dates only from 2024, and the licensed entity's own domain, exeliumglobal.com, was registered in December 2024. The 2003 domain registration is a re-purposed older domain, not a track record. Because the operation is under three years old, we hold the published risk figure at 65 percent. That reflects how little history there is to rely on, not proof of misconduct.
- Reputation is thin and the conduct signals are mixed. A small number of users allege blocked or slow withdrawals and cancelled profits, and the company answers them by citing bonus-abuse rules and says deposits were returned. Extreme 1:5000 leverage and heavy marketing to regions outside major regulators add to the risk.
Evidence ledger
Every finding, with its source and how strongly it points.
E1The Seychelles FSA capital markets register lists Exelium Global Ltd as a licensed Securities Dealer, with registered website exeliumglobal.com, email finance@exeliumglobal.com and a Mahe, Seychelles address. This confirms the SD238 licence is genuine and tied to the group's exeliumglobal.com entity, not to exelium.com.
E2The main site's home, about and legal pages disclose only Exelium Ltd, an Anguilla company (registration A000001254), and make no regulatory claim. The entity that takes client deposits through exelium.com is therefore unregulated.
E3The group site footer states Exelium is a trading name of Exelium Ltd (Anguilla) and adds, under Other Group Regulations, that Exelium Global Ltd is regulated by the Seychelles FSA with licence SD238. This ties the two domains and both entities into one Exelium group.
E4exelium.com was first registered on 31 December 2003, but archived snapshots show parked or error pages until the current Exelium broker appeared in March 2024. The operation is about two years old; the 2003 date is a re-purposed older domain, not operating history.
E5The licensed entity's own domain, exeliumglobal.com, was registered on 19 December 2024, consistent with a group that launched recently rather than a long-established firm.
ModerateDomain registration recordE6Exelium advertises maximum leverage of 1:5000 on its Powerful account. Leverage this high is banned in every major regulated market and sharply increases the risk of rapid account loss.
ModerateExelium website (home page)E7The Trustpilot page for exelium.com carries four reviews at a 3.0 average: one five-star and three one-star. Two one-star reviews from Indonesia allege a scam and, per the company's reply, come from the same trading team accused of bonus abuse, with initial deposits said to be returned; a third warns of a simulated environment and withdrawal barriers. The company replies to negative reviews.
ModerateTrustpilotE8No warning or alert naming exelium.com, Exelium Ltd or Exelium Global Ltd was found on the major regulator warning lists at the time of writing.
ModerateRegulator warning-list sweep (IOSCO, FCA, ASIC, CFTC and others)E9The broker is built around MetaTrader 5, a mainstream third-party trading platform, which points to a real trading operation rather than a purely in-house dashboard.
E10The group discloses the Seychelles licence on exeliumglobal.com but omits it entirely on the main client-facing site exelium.com, so a visitor to the main site sees no regulation at all and does not learn that the licence belongs to a different entity.

The other side
The strongest case in this broker’s favour.
In fairness to Exelium, several things point the other way and stop this being a confirmed scam.
- The Seychelles licence is genuine. Exelium Global Ltd really does appear on the Financial Services Authority's own Securities Dealer register, so this is not a fabricated or borrowed licence, and it is not a clone of a well-known brand.
- A real trading platform appears to exist. The broker runs on MetaTrader 5, a mainstream third-party platform, rather than a purely in-house dashboard.
- No regulator has warned against it. We found no entry naming exelium.com, Exelium Ltd or Exelium Global Ltd on the major warning and alert lists.
- The company answers complaints. It replied to the negative Trustpilot reviews, and in the disputed bonus cases it states the client's initial deposit was withdrawn and only bonus-related profits were reversed.
- Its corporate identity is disclosed. The Anguilla entity, its registration number and a physical registered address are published on the site.
What would change this
What we would need to see to revise the verdict.
Our view would move if new facts appeared.
- Toward safer: a longer, clean operating record; the entity that actually holds client funds being licensed by a credible regulator; and consistent public confirmation from clients that withdrawals are paid in full and on time.
- Toward scam: a regulator warning or alert naming exelium.com or Exelium Global Ltd; the Seychelles licence being suspended, withdrawn or shown to belong to an unrelated company; a clear, repeated pattern of clients who cannot get their deposits back, with amounts, dates and ticket numbers across more than one platform; or any demand for an extra payment (tax, fee or insurance) before funds are released.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about this broker’s safety.
Is Exelium a scam?
We did not find proof that Exelium is an outright scam, and no regulator has warned against it. We rate it high-risk and unverified, mainly because the company that takes your money on exelium.com is an unregulated Anguilla firm and the operation is only about two years old.
Is Exelium a fraud?
We found no fraud-related court case, no regulator enforcement action and no warning-list entry naming Exelium, Exelium Ltd or Exelium Global Ltd. We do not have evidence of fraud. We do assess the overall risk as high because of the offshore, unregulated and very young profile.
Is Exelium regulated?
Partly. A group company, Exelium Global Ltd, holds a Seychelles offshore Securities Dealer licence (SD238), which we confirmed on the Seychelles regulator's register. The company you contract with on the main site, Exelium Ltd of Anguilla, is not regulated at all.
What is the Exelium SD238 Seychelles licence worth?
It is a real but low-tier offshore licence. Seychelles is a light-touch regulator with no meaningful compensation scheme for retail clients, so this licence gives far less protection than a licence from the UK, Australia or the EU.
Which company do I actually trade with on exelium.com?
The main site states that Exelium is a trading name of Exelium Ltd, incorporated in Anguilla (registration A000001254). That Anguilla company, which has no financial licence, is the one that holds your funds, not the Seychelles-licensed Exelium Global Ltd.
Can I withdraw my money from Exelium?
Some users report fast withdrawals and others report delays or cancelled profits. The clearest disputes involve accounts the company says broke its bonus rules, where profits were reversed but the deposit was returned. Because the entity is unregulated, withdrawals ultimately depend on the company's goodwill.
Is my money safe with Exelium?
There is limited protection. The site claims segregated accounts, but the money-holding entity is an unregulated Anguilla company, and the only real licence sits with a sister firm offshore. Treat any deposit as high-risk capital you could lose.
How old is Exelium?
The exelium.com domain dates from 2003, but it only started running the current Exelium broker in 2024, and the licensed entity's own domain was registered in December 2024. In practice this is roughly a two-year-old operation, not a long-established one.
Is Exelium a clone of another broker?
No. We found no sign that Exelium copies the name, licence number or identity of a well-known regulated firm. The Seychelles licence genuinely belongs to its own group company, Exelium Global Ltd.
Why does the main site not mention the Seychelles licence?
The licence is only disclosed on the group site, exeliumglobal.com, under Other Group Regulations. The main client-facing site, exelium.com, shows no regulation at all, which means a visitor there sees only an unregulated Anguilla company.
What leverage does Exelium offer, and why does it matter?
Exelium advertises leverage up to 1:5000. Leverage this high is banned in every major regulated market because it lets a small price move wipe out an entire account. It is a hallmark of aggressive offshore brokers.
What should I check before depositing with Exelium?
Confirm which entity your account agreement names, read the bonus and withdrawal terms carefully, and test a small withdrawal first. Remember that the Seychelles licence covers a sister company, not the Anguilla firm holding your money.
What do I do if I was scammed by Exelium?
Gather all records (deposits, chats, tickets), request a formal withdrawal in writing, and contact your bank or card provider about a chargeback. Be very careful of recovery agents who ask for an upfront fee, as these are usually a second scam.
What we recommend
The practical takeaway from everything above.
If you are considering Exelium, treat it as a high-risk offshore broker.
- Understand that on exelium.com you contract with an unregulated Anguilla company, so if something goes wrong there is no strong regulator or compensation scheme to help you recover funds.
- The Seychelles SD238 licence offers only limited protection and covers a sister company, not the entity that takes your deposit through the main site.
- Avoid the extreme 1:5000 leverage, which can wipe out an account very quickly.
- If you already have funds there, test a small withdrawal before committing more, and keep records of every deposit, ticket and chat.
- Be wary of anyone who contacts you to add more money to unlock a withdrawal. No legitimate broker needs a further payment to release your own funds.
