Risk scorecard
Each area is scored 0 (clean) to 10 (worst). Higher means more risk.
Regulation
8/10 · CriticalSole claimed licence is an unconfirmable Mwali registration with no verification link, after roughly two years of advertising FCA, CySEC, ASIC and CFTC links it did not hold; not placed at the top of the scale because no fabricated number, borrowed licence or regulator warning was established.
Identity & transparency
7/10 · HighThe Comoros entity, registration number and registered office are now disclosed consistently in both languages, but a London headquarters was advertised for two years with no UK company behind it, beneficial ownership is undisclosed, and the iOS app was published under an unrelated name.
Withdrawals & conduct
6/10 · HighFund-integrity reports on two platforms describe the same failure, withdrawals left pending or cancelled and bonus profits withheld, but the volume is modest, transactional detail is thin, the broker answers publicly and some users report being paid.
Reputation
8/10 · CriticalTrustpilot withdrew the company's rating for a guidelines breach and removed fake reviews, so the favourable record is manufactured; the unclaimed client-portal page sits at 92 per cent one-star, though no regulator warning list names the brand.
Website claims
9/10 · CriticalClaimed four tier-1 regulators through an unnamed affiliates formula while admitting it was unregulated, advertised a London headquarters with no UK entity and insurance cover with no insurer; mitigated only by the recent removal of all three claims.
Operational history
5/10 · ModerateJust under three years on the domain, measured from 4 January 2024, and the operating company could not be dated, so the figure is an upper bound; credit given for making no inflated founding claim.

Why we reached this verdict
How the evidence adds up.
Five findings drive this verdict, and the first is the broker's own words.
- It claimed four tier-1 regulators it had no authorisation from. Dated copies of the ixbroker.com homepage from 1 March 2025, 5 August 2025 and 9 January 2026 all carry the same paragraph: that its holding and affiliated companies are regulated by the FCA, CySEC and ASIC, and that it collaborates with partners regulated by the CFTC in the USA. The same paragraph then states that the company includes a decentralised brokerage that operates without traditional regulatory oversight and does not implement Know Your Customer procedures. Those two statements cannot both be a fair description of a supervised firm. The site also told visitors it was regulated and licensed by global financial authorities, and advertised insurance cover on accounts up to 30,000 dollars with no insurer named.
- The London headquarters had no company behind it. The same archived pages give a headquarters at 64 North Row, Mayfair, London, with two UK telephone numbers. A search of the UK Companies House register returns no company named iXBROKER or iX Broker, and a search of the Financial Services Register returns no authorised firm under that name. The contracting entity in the broker's own terms is a Comoros company.
- The one licence it does claim cannot be checked. MISA does not publish a publicly reachable list of its licensees, so brokerage licence BFX2025127 cannot be matched against the issuer's own records, and iX Broker provides no verification link of its own for a client to follow. A third-party broker directory that lists this exact domain and legal entity records no forex trading licence found. Even taken at face value, a Mwali registration is a paid filing in a jurisdiction the Comorian central bank has publicly disavowed, and it carries no compensation scheme and no enforceable client-money protection.
- Its public reputation is partly manufactured. Trustpilot displays a warning on the ixbroker.com page stating that the rating is unavailable due to a breach of its guidelines, and that a number of fake reviews were removed. What remains is 23 reviews split 70 per cent five-star and 17 per cent one-star with almost nothing in between, and most of the praise comes from accounts with a single review and one line of text. The client portal page at my.ixbroker.com, which the company has not claimed, sits at 2.4 out of 5 with 92 per cent one-star.
- Clients on two platforms describe the same failure. On a second review platform, three dated accounts report a deposit followed by cancelled withdrawal requests (8 January 2026), a withdrawal that keeps getting pending without any tangible reason (28 November 2025), and withdrawals delayed while support repeated that they were processing (26 November 2025). On Trustpilot, separate users report profits withheld after meeting the stated bonus conditions and promotional accounts never credited, including one detailed account naming dates and the support channel used. The structure of the operation makes this worse rather than better: deposits and withdrawals are in cryptocurrency only, with no card or bank rail, and no identity verification below 3,000 dollars.
Two further points weigh on the profile rather than proving misconduct. The operation is young: the domain dates from 4 January 2024, and because the Mwali companies registry publishes no public search, the age of iX Broker LTD could not be established, so just under three years is an upper bound resting on the domain alone. And the Android application is served as a file hosted by the broker itself rather than through Google Play, while the iOS link on the site points to a store listing under the unrelated name Juvox that no longer exists.
We assess the risk of fraud as high. No regulator has made such a finding, and we are not stating one.
Evidence ledger
Every finding, with its source and how strongly it points.
E1Dated copies of the ixbroker.com homepage from 1 March 2025, 5 August 2025 and 9 January 2026 state that the holding and affiliated companies are regulated by the FCA, CySEC and ASIC and that the company collaborates with CFTC-regulated partners, while the same paragraph admits the business includes a brokerage operating without traditional regulatory oversight and without Know Your Customer procedures.
E2The tier-1 regulator paragraph was still on the homepage on 9 January 2026, by then printed alongside the new claim of supervision by the Mwali International Services Authority.
E3The UK Financial Services Register returns no authorised firm for iXBroker, and a search on the spaced form returns ten unrelated UK firms, none of them this broker. No FCA authorisation exists under this name.
E4UK Companies House holds no company named iXBROKER or iX Broker, while the site advertised a headquarters at 64 North Row, Mayfair, London with two UK telephone numbers until January 2026.
E5The broker's own regulation statement names one authority, MISA, with international brokerage licence BFX2025127 and company registration HT01025102, and provides no link to any register where a client could check it. The only external links on the page are social accounts and an app store listing.
ModerateiX Broker About pageE6MISA does not publish a publicly reachable list of its licensees, so brokerage licence BFX2025127 could not be matched against the issuer's own records. Separately, a third-party broker directory that lists this exact domain and legal entity records no forex trading licence found for it.
StrongMwali International Services Authority register, and a third-party broker directoryE7Trustpilot displays a warning on the ixbroker.com page stating that the rating is unavailable due to a breach of its guidelines and that a number of fake reviews were removed. The surviving 23 reviews split 70 per cent five-star and 17 per cent one-star with almost nothing between, and most praise comes from single-review accounts posting one line.
StrongTrustpilot, ixbroker.comE8The client portal page records 2.4 out of 5 across 12 reviews with 92 per cent one-star. Users report profits withheld after meeting the stated bonus conditions, promotional accounts never credited despite dated evidence of registering, and one reviewer in December 2025 alleges a non-existent branch address and describes the operation as collecting documents from Iranian users.
ModerateTrustpilot, my.ixbroker.comE9On a second review platform, three dated client reports describe a deposit followed by cancelled withdrawal requests on 8 January 2026, a withdrawal that keeps getting pending without any tangible reason on 28 November 2025, and withdrawals delayed while support repeated that they were processing on 26 November 2025.
E10Deposits are accepted only in BTC, ETH, TRON, BNB and USDT from 50 USDT, withdrawals are paid only on the TRC20 and BEP20 networks, and identity verification is required only above 3,000 dollars. There is no card or bank transfer option, so no payment in the chain can be reversed. Bonus credit is non-withdrawable and is removed when a withdrawal is requested.
StrongiX Broker FAQE11The Android application is served as a file hosted on the broker's own download subdomain rather than through Google Play, the Windows client likewise, and the iOS link points to an App Store listing under the unrelated name Juvox which no longer exists. No Google Play listing for this broker could be found.
E12The site is localised into exactly two languages, English and Persian, declared through its own alternate-language tags, and the reviewer base is concentrated in Iran, Turkey and the Iranian diaspora. Solicitation is therefore aimed at a market its Comoros registration does not cover and where no regulator supervises it.
ModerateiX Broker Persian siteE13A Persian-language consumer investigation published on 8 March 2025 examined ixbroker.com and reported that the regulator claims on the site did not check out against the named authorities, that the audience was almost entirely Iranian, and that promotion ran through Iranian entertainers and influencers.
E14The domain ixbroker.com was registered on 4 January 2024 through 123-Reg, and the first archived copy of the iX Broker site dates from the same day, placing the operation at just under three years old.
E15The current English and Persian sites no longer mention the FCA, CySEC, ASIC or the CFTC, no longer advertise a London headquarters and no longer claim insurance cover on accounts. They disclose one Comoros entity, one registration number and one registered office consistently across the homepage, the About page, the FAQ and the terms, plus an operational office in Istanbul.
E16No regulator warning or alert names this brand or domain. The FCA warning list search returns nothing, and a sweep across the IOSCO, CFTC, CONSOB, CNMV, BaFin and Australian investor alert lists found no entry, no enforcement action and no fraud-related court record naming the entity, as at 11 October 2026.
ModerateFCA warning list searchE17Some clients report being paid. A reviewer in May 2026 says they traded for over a year and withdrew more than ten times without difficulty, and another in April 2026 describes a smooth withdrawal. The company replies publicly to complaints on both review pages, including a direct rebuttal of a withdrawal accusation and an explanation of its bonus conditions.
E18A directory entry for a similarly named broker, IX Brokers at ixbrokers.com, registered in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and using MetaTrader 5 with a dead website, was examined and excluded. It names a different domain and a different jurisdiction, so it is a separate operation and its record does not apply to this broker.
The other side
The strongest case in this broker’s favour.
The case against iX Broker is not the whole picture, and these points are real.
- The false regulator claims have been removed. The current English and Persian versions of the site carry no mention of the FCA, CySEC, ASIC or the CFTC, no London headquarters and no insurance claim. What they do carry is consistent across the homepage, the About page, the FAQ and the terms: one Comoros entity, one registration number, one registered office and one licence number. That is a genuine improvement on the position in January 2026, and a reader deserves to know it was fixed rather than merely alleged.
- No regulator anywhere has warned about it. The Financial Services Register, the FCA warning list and a sweep across the IOSCO, CFTC, CONSOB, CNMV, BaFin and Australian investor alert lists return no entry naming this brand or this domain as at 11 October 2026. There is no enforcement action and no fraud-related court record naming the entity.
- It does not inflate its own history. Many suspect brokers advertise a decade of trading on a two-year-old domain. iX Broker makes no founding claim at all, and the age we measured is consistent with the little it does say.
- Some clients report being paid. One reviewer in May 2026 says they had traded for over a year and withdrawn more than ten times without difficulty. Another praises execution speed and received a substantive reply. The company answers complaints publicly on both review pages, including a direct rebuttal of a withdrawal accusation, and it has published the bonus conditions it relies on.
- Part of the complaint volume is weaker than it looks. A cluster of negative reviews in early March 2025 concerns a free 30-dollar no-deposit promotion that was never credited or whose profits were not paid. That is a promotional dispute in which no client deposit was lost. Two further complaints that appeared to describe withheld funds turned out to be advertisements for named fund-recovery services, and we discounted both.
- An offshore licence is not in itself fraud. Hundreds of genuine brokers hold only low-tier offshore registrations. A weak licence lowers the protection a client gets, which is a risk judgement, not proof of theft.
What would change this
What we would need to see to revise the verdict.
Specific things would move this verdict, in either direction.
- Toward safer: MISA publishing a reachable entry for iX Broker LTD showing licence BFX2025127 in force, with the issue and expiry dates and the entity name matching the company in the client agreement, and the broker linking to it from its own regulation statement.
- Toward safer: a payment route that is not cryptocurrency, so a client has a chargeback or bank recall available, together with identity checks applied from the first deposit rather than above 3,000 dollars.
- Toward safer: a clean, platform-verified review record over the next year. The decisive step is Trustpilot restoring the rating it withdrew, because that would mean the review base is no longer judged to be manipulated.
- Toward safer: published, checkable evidence of the segregated client bank account and crypto wallet the site describes, and a named insurer if account protection is advertised again.
- Toward worse: a warning or alert from any regulator naming ixbroker.com. That alone would take this to a confirmed finding.
- Toward worse: further first-hand reports of withdrawals refused, with amounts, dates and transaction identifiers, or any demand for an extra payment such as a tax, fee or unlock charge before funds are released.
- Toward worse: the tier-1 regulator claims reappearing on any page, in any language, or on the social accounts.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about this broker’s safety.
Is iX Broker a scam?
We rate it a likely scam. For about two years its own homepage claimed that affiliated companies were regulated by the FCA, CySEC and ASIC and that it worked with CFTC-regulated partners, while admitting in the same paragraph that the brokerage ran without regulatory oversight. The single licence it claims today cannot be confirmed, and Trustpilot has withdrawn its rating after removing fake reviews.
Is iX Broker a fraud?
No regulator or court has made a finding of fraud against iX Broker LTD. The UK Financial Services Register, the FCA warning list and the alert lists of IOSCO, the CFTC, CONSOB, CNMV, BaFin and the Australian regulator have no entry naming this brand or domain. There is no enforcement action and no fraud-related court record. What we can document is misleading regulatory claims, a licence nobody can verify, manufactured reviews and clients reporting withdrawals left pending or cancelled. On that basis we assess the risk of fraud as high.
Is iX Broker regulated?
Not in any meaningful sense. It claims one licence, number BFX2025127 from the Mwali International Services Authority in the Comoros Union. MISA publishes no reachable list of its licensees, so that licence cannot be matched against the issuer's own records, and the broker offers no verification link. It holds no authorisation from the FCA, CySEC, ASIC or the CFTC.
Did iX Broker really claim to be FCA, CySEC and ASIC regulated?
Yes. Dated copies of its homepage from March 2025, August 2025 and January 2026 state that its holding and affiliated companies are regulated by the FCA, CySEC and ASIC, and that it collaborates with CFTC-regulated partners in the USA. The same paragraph concedes that the company includes a brokerage operating without traditional regulatory oversight. Those claims have since been removed from both the English and Persian versions of the site.
Can I withdraw my money from iX Broker?
Some clients say yes and others say no. One long-standing reviewer reports more than ten successful withdrawals. Against that, users on two separate platforms describe withdrawal requests left pending or cancelled after a deposit, and profits withheld after bonus conditions were met. Withdrawals are paid in cryptocurrency only, so a payment cannot be reversed if something goes wrong.
Is my money safe with iX Broker?
We would not treat it as safe. The site says client funds sit in a segregated bank account and crypto wallet, but there is no published evidence of that and no regulator in a position to check it. A Mwali registration carries no compensation scheme, so if the company stopped paying there is no fund to claim against.
Who owns iX Broker?
The contracting company is iX Broker LTD, registered in the Comoros Union with company number HT01025102 and a registered office at Bonovo Road, Fomboni, Island of Mohéli. The site lists an operational office in Istanbul. The individuals or parent company behind it are not disclosed anywhere on the site or in its terms.
How old is iX Broker?
The domain ixbroker.com was registered on 4 January 2024 and the site first appeared the same day, so the operation is just under three years old. The Mwali companies registry publishes no public search, so the incorporation date of iX Broker LTD could not be established, which makes that figure an upper bound. To its credit, the site does not advertise a longer history than it has.
What is a MISA licence worth?
Very little. MISA is the registrar of Mwali, an autonomous island of the Comoros, and the Comorian central bank has publicly disavowed the licences issued there. It is a paid filing rather than active supervision, with no compensation scheme, no enforced client-money rules and no realistic complaints route. A MISA licence is best read as evidence that a broker wanted to look regulated at the lowest possible cost.
Is iX Broker a clone of another broker?
No. We found no evidence that it copies the identity, licence number or registered details of another firm. Be aware of a separate operation at the similar address ixbrokers.com, registered in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, which is a different company and is not covered here.
Why does iX Broker only accept cryptocurrency?
The company has not explained it. The practical effect is that there is no card issuer or bank in the chain, so there is no chargeback, no recall and no payment provider to complain to. Combined with no identity checks below 3,000 dollars, it is a funding design that makes money very difficult to trace or return.
What should I do if iX Broker will not pay me?
Stop depositing and do not pay any fee, tax or verification charge presented as a condition of release, because that is the standard advance-fee pattern. Collect your transaction hashes, wallet addresses, account statements and support messages, then report the matter to the financial regulator and cybercrime unit where you live and to the exchange you funded from. Ignore anyone who offers to recover your funds for an upfront payment.

What we recommend
The practical takeaway from everything above.
Our advice for anyone considering this broker, or already holding an account.
- Do not deposit. The only licence on offer cannot be confirmed, it would give you no compensation scheme even if it were, and the money rails are crypto-only, which means a payment cannot be reversed.
- If you hold a balance, withdraw it now, in stages if the platform allows, and keep every screenshot, wallet address, transaction hash and support ticket.
- Never pay a fee to release your own funds. No legitimate broker asks for a tax, commission, insurance or verification payment before a withdrawal. A demand like that is the clearest sign to stop and report.
- Ignore anyone offering to recover your money for an upfront fee. Two of the complaints about this broker were in fact advertisements for such services, and these services prey on people who have already lost money.
- Treat a bonus as the hook it is. The disputes we found concentrate on promotional credit and the conditions attached to it.
- Report it to the financial regulator and cybercrime unit where you live, and to your crypto exchange if you funded the account through one.
- If you want a regulated alternative, choose a broker you can find yourself on the register of the FCA, ASIC, CySEC or another tier-1 authority, and confirm the register entry lists the exact website you are depositing with.
