- Infinox also complies with the client money handling rules and employs strict policies and procedures regarding the maintenance and operation of these accounts. Infinox holds clients' money separately from the company funds and does not use these funds for any operational expenses or purposes.
Deposit Compensation Scheme
Infinox Capital Ltd is a member of the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS), an independent compensation fund of last resort for customers of authorised UK financial services firms. If Infinox Capital Ltd is unable to pay claims against it, or in the unlikely event that has been declared to be in default, clients might be entitled to compensation, up to the value of £85,000 per claim.
Professional Indemnity Insurance
Infinox customers are also protected by a Professional Indemnity Insurance policy, maintained with the Lloyd's of London, and with variable limits subject to the contracting entity. Customers of Infinox Bahamas and Infinox South Africa are protected for the sum of $500,000. Clients of Infinox Mauritius are protected by a similar insurance, for the sum of $1,000,000.

Negative Balance Protection
For accounts opened via any of the Infinox Group entities, there is a Negative Balance Protection in place, for the sake of no negative balance. Infinox performs a NULL operation on all accounts that have a negative balance, correcting it to zero, thus, protecting clients from any losses bigger than their original investments.
If a retail trader gets a negative balance on a live account, Infinox suggests waiting some time for it to be automatically corrected, before making a new deposit.

Pricing

| Pricing/ Account |

| Commissions (1 lot) | ❌ | $7.5 |
| Minimum Deposit | $1 | |
Spreads
Infinox offers 2 different trading account types, with different execution models and packed with the MT4 and MT5. Infinox spread for the most traded pair, the EUR/USD, on the IX STP account starts at 0.9 pip, without commissions being charged. We consider this spread, for the IX STP account, to be average when compared with other top brokers.
With Infinox's IX ECN account, the EUR/USD minimum spread is a much lower 0.2 pip. To benefit from the lower spreads of the IX ECN account there's a cost to pay: a trading commission. For the EUR/USD, the standard lot commission for 1 lot (100,000 units) is only 3 USD commission (1.5 USD per side/per lot). But this low commission is only available to clients registering a live account with the SCB-regulated entity.
For clients registering an account with the other 3 entities (FCA, FSC and FSCA) the IX ECN commissions are 7.5 USD per round lot.

We consider Infinox swap rates to be average, compared with the rollover rates offered by other top forex brokers.

The popularity of this UK-based broker is on the rise. Trading can be done with a good range of platforms (MT4 and MT5) to suit all kinds of traders. But the key feature of Infinox's popularity is its pricing, particularly the IX ECN account, with low spreads and a trading commission of $7.5 per lot traded.
Offering cutting-edge trading technology, Infinox has super-fast trading servers, maximizing order execution speeds on all its trading platforms. Infinox also provides traders with good leverage ratios of up to 1000:1 (subject to the contracting entity), enabling traders to take advantage of movements in the market whilst only using small amounts of capital.
- Trading accounts - The Infinox IX ECN account is a popular choice with traders looking for reduced trading costs and is considered the best value based on its competitive spreads and below-average trading commissions. Extra points for Infinox's policy of no fees on deposits.
- Forex education - Infinox loses a couple of popularity points for their limited range of trading education materials. Infinox clients can find only a few market analysis articles and a financial blog.

Broker Profile
The Infinox brand is a multi-award-winning brand, globally recognised as a leading FX & CFD broker. Regulated since 2009, Infinox has a presence in over 15 countries, providing competitive trading conditions and premium client service worldwide.
Infinox's management team has a combined 100+ years of industry experience, focusing on putting clients first. This UK-headquartered broker offers its customers a good choice of trading platforms, competitive trading costs, low latency connectivity and superior liquidity. As a multi-regulated company, Infinox is required to meet strict financial standards, including capital adequacy and audit requirements.
Infinox provides easy access to a wide range of markets, including stocks, FX, commodities, indices and cryptos (subject to jurisdiction). Trading with Infinox can be done through the MetaTrader4, the next-gen MetaTrader 5, and the IX Social trading platform, specially developed for investors looking to copy the trades of more experienced traders.
Overall, on our Infinox review, the broker is currently scoring 3.3 out of 5. Infinox is a great choice for traders looking for safety of funds and traders looking for a highly regulated broker. Also positively, traders registering an account with the Bahamas SCB regulated entity can benefit from good leverage ratios (up to 200:1), but above all benefit from competitive pricing (low spreads, low trading commissions). On the downside, the not-so-competitive pricing of the other 3 entities and the very limited trading education materials, are all ingredients that slightly penalize Infinox's popularity.
