Does FXCC Accept US Traders?

FXCC does not accept clients in the US. We confirmed this from the broker’s terms and by also signing up from a US IP address – it doesn’t work.

Why Isn’t FXCC Available In The USA?

This restriction is due to regulatory requirements, not a unique FXCC policy. Serving US residents with leveraged products requires CFTC registration and NFA membership, which imposes rules that exclude most high-leverage CFD trading offerings by offshore brokers. FXCC has not pursued this registration. Therefore, if a website offers an “FXCC US account,” consider it a clone and avoid it.

Both main FXCC entities exclude US residents, but in different ways:

  • The Cyprus entity (FX Central Clearing Ltd) only accepts residents of the European Economic Area.
  • The international entity (Central Clearing Ltd) clearly lists the EEA, Japan, and the US as restricted regions on its regulation page.

Alternatives To FXCC

US-based traders seeking similar conditions should consider the domestically licensed firms we have tested. FOREX.com offers MetaTrader access for US clients, Interactive Brokers is suitable for those seeking broad global market access, while NinjaTrader is ideal for traders focused on low-cost futures.

How To Confirm A Forex Broker Can Legally Serve US Residents

FXCC is closed to US traders, so before you fund any broker that claims to accept them, run this check:

  1. Open the NFA’s BASIC database — the official US register for futures and forex firms.
  2. Type ‘FXCC’ into the search box and click the ‘Search’ button.
  3. Confirm the Current NFA Membership Status if applicable (it’s not with FXCC).
  4. Read the disciplinary history. BASIC lists any actions, fines, or arbitrations on record.
  5. Check the broker’s own terms for a clear statement that US residents are accepted. A register entry shows a firm is allowed to operate; it isn’t proof that it onboards US clients.
