Licences and client money protection

The regulation page of the website states that client money is held in segregated client accounts with banks, and that there is client money insurance of up to 1,000,000 US dollars, which applies only if Raw Trading Ltd becomes insolvent. On negative balances, the terms and conditions state that the client is liable for any shortfall, while the risk disclosure says the company may absorb it. Read both documents before opening an account. Complaints that cannot be settled can be referred to The Financial Commission.
