What this means for Exness

Exness holds 1 Tier 3 (offshore) regulator. None of those regulators operate a statutory investor compensation fund for retail forex clients, so recovery after insolvency would rely on the regulator's own enforcement process rather than a guaranteed payout scheme. FirstBuckFX has not yet logged a tested deposit or withdrawal with Exness. That's a gap worth knowing about, not something to assume is fine. This was last checked on August 5, 2026. For trading conditions, spreads, and the full write-up, see the full Exness review.

Profile compiled 2026-08-05 firsthand from the broker's official website, public regulator registers, and a live trading account FirstBuckFX holds directly with Exness. Anything not confirmed was left as "Not disclosed" rather than assumed.
