VERIFICATION

Need to verify a license?

All licenses are publicly verifiable on regulator registers.

Each entity can be cross-checked directly with the regulator that supervises it. We never ask you to take our word for it — and neither should any broker.

Global Presence

A brand with a global presence.

One compliance philosophy. Our regional teams are on the ground where our clients are — and where our regulators expect us to be.

      Client Protection

      How your funds are protected.

      Four pillars of client safety — built into the operating procedure of every licensed entity. Not optional features. Not marketing language. Regulator-mandated, audit-tested controls.

      Segregated Client Funds

      Client funds are held entirely separate from company operating capital, in independent bank accounts at top-tier financial institutions.

      Negative Balance Protection

      Your maximum loss is capped at your account balance. Adverse market events will never put you in debt to the broker. Your principal stays protected.

      AML & KYC Compliance

      Strict identity verification and anti-money-laundering procedures, aligned with FATF guidance and the standards required by each regulator we operate under.

      256-bit Data Encryption

      Industry-standard SSL/TLS encryption secures every byte of trading data, personal information and payment activity — in transit and at rest.

      Group Structure

      About GTC
      Financial Group.

      GTC Financial Group comprises GTC Group and its global affiliates, operating as a network of five regulated entities. Each entity is independently licensed and managed within its respective jurisdiction.

      Every entity is a separate legal person, managed by experienced regional teams who report to local regulators. A license held by one entity does not extend to the others — and we make no claim that it does.

      The specific contracting entity that will serve you is disclosed in your client agreement before any account is opened. If you would like to know which entity applies to your region, please contact our compliance team.

      Restricted Jurisdictions

      GTCFX does not provide services to residents of the United States, Japan, or any other jurisdiction where doing so would be inconsistent with local law or regulation.

      Risk Disclosure

      Trading CFDs and leveraged products carries a high level of risk to your capital. You may lose more than your initial deposit — though never more than your account balance with us. Trade only with capital you can afford to lose.

      Independent Audit & Reporting

      Each licensed entity files audited financial statements with its local regulator on the schedule mandated by that regulator. Audit reports are available on request through our compliance team.
