3/10 · LowGenuine onshore government licence 006/BAPPEBTI/SI/12/2024 read on BAPPEBTI's own register, with matching website, address and segregated client accounts, plus exchange and clearing memberships confirmed on their own lists; BAPPEBTI is mid-tier and offers no compensation scheme.

Who they are
A quick desk file on the company behind the brand.
- Brand: IDFX
- Legal entity: PT. IDFX Futures Internasional (an Indonesian limited liability company, or perseroan terbatas)
- Registered: Jl. Danau Sunter Utara, Blok A-36D, Kav. No. 37, Kel. Sunter Agung, Kec. Tanjung Priok, Jakarta Utara, DKI Jakarta 14350, Indonesia
- Website: idfx.id, with the client area at portal.idfx.id
- Main licence: BAPPEBTI futures-broker licence 006/BAPPEBTI/SI/12/2024, plus BAPPEBTI alternative-trading-system approval 03/BAPPEBTI/SPA/04/2025. Both appear on BAPPEBTI's own entry for the firm
- Also holds: Jakarta Futures Exchange membership SPAB/192/BBJ/11/2024 and Indonesian Clearing House membership 169/AK-KBI/XI/2024, both confirmed on those bodies' own member lists
- Offers: exchange-traded commodity futures through the exchange's JaFeTS platform, and bilateral alternative-trading-system products including loco London gold, oil, forex pairs, stock indices and single stocks. Accounts are opened in Indonesian rupiah with a passport or Indonesian ID card
- Not accepted: residents of the United States, North Korea, Iran and African countries, per the company's own disclaimer
- Age: the company advertises no founding year. The domain was registered on 29 May 2024, the first certificate for it dates from 8 July 2024, and the exchange membership from 4 November 2024, so the operation is roughly two years and four months old

Why we reached this verdict
How the evidence adds up.
Everything checkable about IDFX checked out. What is missing is the part no paperwork can supply: a record of clients getting paid.
- The regulatory side is clean and primary-sourced. BAPPEBTI, the commodity futures regulator under Indonesia's Ministry of Trade, publishes a per-firm record for IDFX. The entity name, the licence number, the alternative-trading-system approval number, the website www.idfx.id, the phone number and the registered address all match what the company publishes. The firm is absent from BAPPEBTI's separate list of 42 brokers whose licences were revoked.
- The identity test passes on three independent registers. The Jakarta Futures Exchange lists IDFX Futures Internasional on its own brokers list, and the Indonesian Clearing House lists PT IDFX Futures Internasional as clearing member 169, with the same street address, phone number and email. Nothing in this operation borrows another company's credentials.
- Client funds are held under the Indonesian segregated-account regime. The four accounts the company names on its own site, at Bank Central Asia, Bank Negara Indonesia and CIMB Niaga, are the same four BAPPEBTI prints on the register. That is a meaningful protection and it is independently checkable.
- The regulator has graded the firm, twice, at the top of its scale. BAPPEBTI's quarterly broker assessments for January to March 2026 and April to June 2026 both place PT IDFX Futures Internasional in the A+++ band. We note for balance that A+++ is the most common grade: 41 of the 67 brokers assessed in the second quarter hold it, so it reads as compliant rather than exceptional.
- No warning anywhere, and no fraud-related record. IOSCO's I-SCAN aggregator, which carries warning entries from more than 150 regulators, returns no match for this name. We found no regulator warning, no enforcement action, no suspension notice and no fraud-related court record naming this entity.
- The score is driven by two gaps, not by findings. First, operating history: the oldest evidence of this operation existing is a domain registered in May 2024, which makes the track record about two years and four months, and Indonesia's companies registry publishes no public company search, so the incorporation date could not be established and the figure stands as an upper bound. Second, community footprint: there is no review profile for idfx.id, no business listing with reviews at the registered address, no forum discussion and no social media account. A brokerage with an established client base usually leaves some trace, and the complete absence of one means we cannot tell a quiet, careful young firm from one whose withdrawal process has never been tested in public.
- So the evidence-based figure would have been about 31 percent, and the published figure is 65. Both of our profile rules apply here, for a track record under three years and for a sweep that found no client reviews of any kind. We are not asserting misconduct. We are saying too little can be established about a two-year-old operation with no customer record to treat it as a safe choice yet.
- Two claims remain documented rather than register-confirmed. The company cites an approval letter from OJK dated 14 May 2025 and one from Bank Indonesia dated 8 September 2025. Both fit the statutory transfer of futures supervision to OJK and Bank Indonesia under Indonesia's 2023 financial-sector law, and OJK has publicly reported granting approvals to dozens of futures brokers through 2025. Neither body publishes a per-firm list of licensed futures brokers, so those two letters cannot be matched to a register entry. The company's description of them as licences overstates what is, on the face of the numbering, correspondence within a licensing process.
Evidence ledger
Every finding, with its source and how strongly it points.
E1BAPPEBTI's own register entry for PT. IDFX FUTURES INTERNASIONAL records business licence 006/BAPPEBTI/SI/12/2024 and alternative-trading-system approval 03/BAPPEBTI/SPA/04/2025, website www.idfx.id, phone 021-65303213, email info@idfx.id, the Jakarta Utara address, four segregated client accounts and five registered representatives. Name, website and contact details all match the operation we examined, so the licence belongs to this broker and not to another firm.
E2The Jakarta Futures Exchange lists IDFX Futures Internasional on its own brokers list, confirming the exchange membership the company claims as certificate SPAB/192/BBJ/11/2024.
E3The Indonesian Clearing House lists PT IDFX FUTURES INTERNATIONAL as clearing member number 169, with the Jl Danau Sunter Utara address, phone 021 65303213 and email info@idfx.id. The member number matches the claimed certificate 169/AK-KBI/XI/2024.
E4BAPPEBTI's separate list of 42 futures brokers whose licences have been revoked does not include IDFX or PT. IDFX Futures Internasional.
E5In BAPPEBTI's quarterly assessment of 67 active futures brokers for April to June 2026, published 12 August 2026, PT IDFX FUTURES INTERNASIONAL is graded A+++, the highest published band. The band is widely held, with 41 of the 67 brokers in it, so it indicates compliance rather than distinction.
E6The previous quarterly assessment, for January to March 2026, also grades PT IDFX FUTURES INTERNASIONAL A+++, showing a consistent compliance standing across two consecutive periods.
E7A search of IOSCO's I-SCAN database, which aggregates warning-list entries from more than 150 member regulators and holds over 47,000 records, returns no entry matching idfx. The same search function returns results for other broker names, so the negative result is meaningful.
E8Indonesia's domain registry records idfx.id as registered on 29 May 2024 and last changed on 9 May 2026, through registrar PT JC Indonesia. This is the oldest datable evidence that the operation exists and sets the track record at about two years and four months.
E9The earliest security certificate issued for idfx.id dates from 8 July 2024, six weeks after the domain was registered, and the certificate history shows only this operation's own subdomains. There is no sign of an aged domain reused from an unrelated earlier business.
ModerateCertificate transparency logsE10The four segregated client accounts the company publishes, at Bank Central Asia in rupiah and US dollars, Bank Negara Indonesia and CIMB Niaga, are all in the name PT. IDFX Futures Internasional and are the same four account numbers BAPPEBTI prints on its register entry.
E11The company's legal page lists eight separate approvals with numbers and dates: the BAPPEBTI business licence and alternative-trading-system approval, exchange and clearing memberships, OJK and Bank Indonesia letters from 2025, an electronic client-onboarding permit and an industry-association membership. BAPPEBTI's register publishes the licence numbers but not their dates, so the dates come from the company's own account.
ModerateIDFX legal pageE12Account opening requires a full legal name, an Indonesian identity card or passport number validated against national identity data, an email address and an estimated initial deposit in rupiah, with a choice of mini or regular commodity accounts. There is no cryptocurrency deposit option, no volume-locked bonus and no personal-manager callback funnel.
ModerateIDFX client portal registrationE13Searching the phone number, the street address and the licence number against all 69 brokers BAPPEBTI currently licenses returns IDFX alone in each case. No other licensed broker shares its contacts, and the register carries no former-name marker for IDFX, unlike several peers listed as renamed entities. There is no predecessor brand carrying an older history into this one.
E14No review profile exists for idfx.id on Trustpilot, so there is neither a complaint record nor a body of positive feedback from clients on that platform.
WeakTrustpilotE15There is no business listing or published review for IDFX Futures at its registered Jakarta address, so the office could not be independently corroborated and no customer feedback exists there either.
WeakGoogle MapsE16OJK's public market-participant listings cover securities companies and publish no equivalent per-firm list of licensed futures brokers, so the OJK approval letter the company cites, numbered S-302/PM.02/2025, cannot be matched to a register entry. OJK has separately reported granting approvals to dozens of futures brokers during the 2025 supervision transfer, which is consistent with the claim.
E17No company record for PT IDFX Futures Internasional is retrievable from cross-jurisdiction corporate databases, and Indonesia's companies registry publishes no public company search, so the incorporation date could not be established and the operating age rests on the domain and licence dates.

The other side
The strongest case in this broker’s favour.
The case for IDFX is stronger than its risk score suggests, and it deserves stating plainly.
- This is an onshore, domestically licensed broker, not an offshore shell. It holds a licence from a government regulator in the country where its clients live, under a statute with segregated-account requirements, registered representatives and a published complaints channel. That is a different proposition from a Comoros or Saint Vincent registration.
- Its disclosure is better than most. The legal page lists eight separate approvals with numbers and dates rather than vague badges. There is no claimed founding year to inflate, no guaranteed-return language, no award logos, no bonus tied to a trading volume, and the risk warning is prominent and specific.
- The infrastructure is the exchange's own. Trading links point to the Jakarta Futures Exchange's JaFeTS system rather than to a self-hosted installer, and the broker also runs MetaTrader 5 servers named after the licensed entity. A real exchange connection and a named clearing membership are hard things for a fake operation to arrange.
- Onboarding looks like regulated onboarding. Account opening asks for a full legal name, an Indonesian ID card or passport number validated against national identity data, and an estimated initial deposit. There is no crypto wallet, no phone-first funnel and no personal account manager pitch.
- The reincarnation check came back empty. We compared the phone number, the street address and the licence number against all 69 brokers BAPPEBTI currently licenses and the 42 whose licences it has revoked. Each identifier belongs to IDFX alone, and the register carries no former-name marker for it, unlike several of its peers. This brand is not a renamed operation carrying an old history.
- A young broker with nothing against it is simply young. Every licensed broker was two years old once. If the next two years produce verifiable payouts and a normal mix of reviews, the score should fall substantially.
What would change this
What we would need to see to revise the verdict.
This verdict rests on an absence of information, so it is unusually easy to move in either direction.
- Would lower it: a body of independent client reviews on at least two platforms, including withdrawal confirmations with amounts and dates, is the single thing that would most reduce the score.
- Would lower it: a further year of operation. Once the track record passes three years, the young-operation rule stops applying and the score would fall toward the evidence-based figure of roughly 30 percent.
- Would lower it: a publicly datable incorporation record for PT. IDFX Futures Internasional, which would replace an upper-bound age with a measured one.
- Would lower it: the company publishing a direct link from each licence number to the matching register entry, and a verifiable OJK or Bank Indonesia licence reference rather than correspondence numbers.
- Would raise it sharply: any credible, specific report of a withdrawal refused, an account frozen with a balance on it, or a demand for an extra payment before funds are released. A demand for money to release money would change this report immediately.
- Would raise it sharply: IDFX appearing on BAPPEBTI's revoked-licence list, receiving a suspension notice, or being named in an OJK or Satgas PASTI warning.
- Would raise it: the website presenting the OJK or Bank Indonesia letters as a full licence while neither authority confirms one, or a drop in the quarterly BAPPEBTI grade.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about this broker’s safety.
Is IDFX a scam?
No. We found no evidence that IDFX is a scam. Its Indonesian futures-broker licence is real and we read it on BAPPEBTI's own register, the exchange and the clearing house both list the company, and there are no complaints or regulator warnings against it. We still score it 65 percent risk because the operation is only about two years old and has no public customer track record at all, which is a reason for caution rather than a finding of wrongdoing.
Is IDFX a fraud?
We found no evidence of fraud. There is no regulator warning naming IDFX, no enforcement action, no suspension notice and no fraud-related court record naming PT. IDFX Futures Internasional. A search of IOSCO's international warning database, which aggregates entries from more than 150 regulators, returns no match for this name.
Is IDFX regulated?
Yes. PT. IDFX Futures Internasional holds futures-broker licence 006/BAPPEBTI/SI/12/2024 from BAPPEBTI, the commodity futures regulator under Indonesia's Ministry of Trade, together with alternative-trading-system approval 03/BAPPEBTI/SPA/04/2025. Both numbers appear on BAPPEBTI's own entry for the firm, alongside the website idfx.id and the Jakarta address the company publishes.
Can I withdraw my money from IDFX?
We cannot confirm it from experience, because no client payout reports exist publicly for this broker. Indonesian rules require client funds to be held in segregated accounts, and BAPPEBTI publishes the four accounts IDFX uses at BCA, BNI and CIMB Niaga. The sensible approach is to deposit a small amount first, withdraw it in full, and only increase your exposure after that has worked.
Is my money safe with IDFX?
Your deposits should go only to the segregated accounts in the company's own name that BAPPEBTI publishes on its register, and that regime is a genuine protection. It is not a guarantee: Indonesia has no deposit-compensation scheme for futures clients, leverage is high, and trading losses are yours. Treat any money you place as money you could lose.
Who owns IDFX and where is it based?
The operating company is PT. IDFX Futures Internasional, an Indonesian limited liability company registered at Jl. Danau Sunter Utara, Blok A-36D, Kav. No. 37, Jakarta Utara 14350. That address appears on BAPPEBTI's register, on the clearing house member list and on the company's own site. Indonesia's companies registry publishes no public company search, so the shareholders and the incorporation date are not on the public record.
How old is IDFX?
About two years and four months. The domain idfx.id was registered on 29 May 2024, the first security certificate for it dates from 8 July 2024, and the Jakarta Futures Exchange membership from 4 November 2024. The company advertises no founding year, so there is no exaggerated history to correct, but the figure is an upper bound because the incorporation date could not be established.
What is a BAPPEBTI licence worth?
It is real government regulation, which puts IDFX well ahead of offshore-registered brokers. BAPPEBTI licenses and supervises Indonesian futures brokers, requires segregated client accounts and registered representatives, publishes a quarterly grading of every licensed firm and operates a complaints channel. Enforcement in the Indonesian retail futures market has historically been uneven, and there is no investor-compensation fund, so it is mid-tier protection rather than the level an FCA or ASIC licence provides.
Is IDFX supervised by OJK?
The company publishes an OJK approval letter numbered S-302/PM.02/2025 and dated 14 May 2025, and one from Bank Indonesia dated 8 September 2025. Both fit the statutory transfer of futures supervision to OJK and Bank Indonesia under Indonesia's 2023 financial-sector law, and OJK has publicly reported issuing approvals to dozens of futures brokers through 2025. Neither authority publishes a per-firm list of licensed futures brokers, so those letters remain documented rather than confirmed against a register. The licence that actually authorises the business today is the BAPPEBTI one.
Is IDFX a clone of another broker?
No. We checked the licence number, the entity name, the registered address and the phone number against all 69 brokers BAPPEBTI currently licenses and the 42 whose licences were revoked. Each identifier belongs to IDFX alone, and the register records no former name for it. Note that unrelated websites use similar names, including idfxbroker.com and idfxcrypto.com. Neither is this company, and the only website on the regulator's record is idfx.id.
Why are there no reviews of IDFX anywhere?
It is a small, new broker. There is no review profile for idfx.id, no business listing with reviews at the registered address, no forum discussion and no social media account. That absence is one of the two reasons for our 65 percent score: with no customer record at all, a quiet and careful firm looks identical to one whose withdrawal process has never been tested.
What should I check before depositing with IDFX?
Open BAPPEBTI's entry for the firm and confirm the licence number, the website and the phone number match what you were shown. Confirm the bank account you are asked to pay is one of the segregated accounts the register lists, in the company's own name. Ask in writing how long withdrawals take, read the account agreement, test a small withdrawal first, and keep every receipt and ticket number.
What do I do if I think I have been scammed by a broker in Indonesia?
Put your withdrawal request in writing and keep the reply. File a complaint with BAPPEBTI through its customer-complaint channel, and report the matter to OJK's Satgas PASTI, which blocks illegal financial operators. If an exchange-traded contract is involved, the Jakarta Futures Exchange arbitration process is available. Never pay an upfront fee to anyone who offers to recover your funds; that offer is itself a common second scam.

What we recommend
The practical takeaway from everything above.
Treat IDFX as a legitimately licensed broker that has not yet proved itself. If you are considering it, work in that order.
- Verify it yourself, in one minute. Open BAPPEBTI's entry for the firm and check that the licence number, the website and the phone number match what you were shown. Anyone contacting you about IDFX with a different website or phone number is not IDFX.
- Only ever transfer to the segregated accounts on the register. BAPPEBTI publishes the exact account numbers, all in the company's own name at BCA, BNI and CIMB Niaga. A request to pay a personal account, a different company, an e-wallet or any crypto address is the point at which you stop.
- Test the exit before you commit. Deposit a small amount, trade briefly, then withdraw the balance in full and time how long it takes. Do that before any larger deposit. With no public payout record, this is the only evidence that matters.
- Size the position to the risk. Indonesian futures brokers carry high leverage and there is no deposit-compensation scheme behind them. Commit only money you can afford to lose outright.
- Keep your own records. Save the account agreement, deposit receipts, statements and ticket numbers. Indonesian clients can escalate a dispute to BAPPEBTI and to the exchange's arbitration process, and both need documents.
- If funds are held: put the request in writing to the company, then file a complaint with BAPPEBTI through its customer-complaint channel, and report it to OJK's Satgas PASTI. Never pay a fee to anyone promising to recover money for you.
