BrokerBazaar verdict
XS.com is a well-established multi-regulated broker with a particularly strong regulatory footprint, including ASIC, CySEC, FSCA and a UAE SCA Category 5 licence. Its broad account selection, MT4/MT5 support, low advertised spreads and extensive market coverage make it competitive, but traders must verify the exact XS entity servicing their account because leverage, protections and regulatory safeguards vary significantly by jurisdiction.
Legal entities, regulation and licences
XS.com operates through 7 legal entities, each supervised separately. Your account is with one specific entity, so the protections you receive depend on which one onboards you, not on the group's strongest licence. Overall, the group is supervised by moderate-tier regulators only.
Licence check: Not independently checked. This broker has submitted its details. BrokerBazaar has not yet independently checked them. A company registration or general business licence is not permission to offer regulated brokerage services; only the register entries linked in the table count.
Countries accepted and restricted
XS.com states that it accepts clients from Global, Excluding Restricted Jurisdictions, South Africa. Availability is decided per entity and can change without notice; residents of jurisdictions such as the USA, and often the EU and UK, are frequently excluded from offshore entities.
