BVI FSC is classed as an offshore regime. An offshore registration can be entirely legitimate, but it typically means lower capital requirements, no compensation scheme, and a complaint route that is harder to use from abroad.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions about this licence

Answered from this register entry and the authority’s own record.

Most Popular Questions

Exness (SC) Ltd's client agreement says the company is a member of the Financial Commission, and that a client whose dispute is not settled through the company's complaints procedure may apply to it within 45 days of the incident. Disputes under that agreement are finally settled in the courts of Seychelles, while the Exness (VG) Ltd and Exness B.V. agreements name the courts of the British Virgin Islands and of Curaçao. Trade confirmations are conclusive, barring manifest error, unless the client objects in writing within two business days, and only the English text of the agreement binds the company.

It may. Exness (SC) Ltd's client agreement allows the company to charge for deposits and withdrawals, with the amount depending on the sum, the type of transaction, the currency and the payment system, and says payment and transfer charges may be borne by the client and debited from the account. The agreement also allows an investigation fee, deducted from the client's account, for any verified or suspected abuse, fraud, prohibited trading, chargeback or breach of its terms.

Exness (SC) Ltd's client agreement says the company will process a withdrawal request without undue delay and, where feasible, within three business days, if the instruction is complete and the money goes back to the account it was deposited from, among other conditions. That is the time to process the request, not the time for the money to arrive. The company may refuse or delay a withdrawal when it has reasonable grounds to believe the client has performed a prohibited trading action or is in default.

Yes. Exness (SC) Ltd's client agreement counts the company's suspicion that a client has traded excessively, in bad faith or to profit while taking minimal or no risk as an event of default, after which the company may, without prior notice, cancel profits, return only the initial deposit, close the account and refuse withdrawals until the default is resolved. Accounts operated from the same location, IP address or device, or showing matching deposit, withdrawal or trading patterns, can be treated as multiple account operation, which voids every transaction and allows all the accounts involved to be blocked.

Yes. Exness's corporate website describes the group as a global financial services provider and market maker, and its key facts statement says the company is at all times the counterparty to client trades, which can only be closed with it. The exception is Exness KE Limited, which Kenya's Capital Markets Authority lists as a non-dealing online foreign exchange broker, a category that does not act as the counterparty to client trades.

Exness is a brand shared by a group of companies rather than a single firm. Accounts opened through exness.com are held by Exness (SC) Ltd in Seychelles, Exness (VG) Ltd in the British Virgin Islands or Exness B.V. in Curaçao, each under its own client agreement. Exness (SC) Ltd, registration number 8423606-1 according to Exness, appeared on the Seychelles Financial Services Authority's register of licensed entities on 22 October 2026. The group's corporate website names Exness Global Limited, registered in Cyprus under number 326879 according to Exness, as its owner.

Yes. Exness's international website lists more than 100 countries and territories whose residents and companies it does not serve, among them the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, every country of the European Economic Area, Switzerland, Australia, New Zealand, Russia and Ukraine. Its client agreements also exclude clients in countries under comprehensive sanctions, naming Cuba, Iran, North Korea and Syria.

Exness gives support@exness.com as its client support address in its client agreement, and clients sign in to their accounts at my.exness.com. The corporate site exness.org is not a support channel: its contact page lists pr@exness.com for press, media and partnership enquiries. Exness warns that genuine communications come only from email addresses ending in @exness.com.

Exness offers MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5. On either platform clients trade contracts for difference (CFDs): Exness's key facts statement explains that a CFD gives exposure to the price of an asset such as a currency, commodity, index or security without ownership of the asset itself.

Yes, but the protection depends on which Exness company holds the account. WIKILIX confirmed licences held by eight Exness group companies on the regulators' own registers on 22 October 2026. Accounts opened through exness.com are held by the companies in Seychelles, the British Virgin Islands and Curaçao, which are supervised offshore with no investor compensation scheme, while the FCA and CySEC licences belong to separate companies that serve only professional or institutional clients. Exness (SC) Ltd's client agreement says client money is held in a segregated bank account, although the company may keep the interest earned on it.
