Many major brands within the finance industry – including forex – have already become members with Financial Commission, enabling their clients to be entitled to related benefits including protection under the compensation fund.
Peter Tatarnikov, Chairman of Financial Commission, said: “We are pleased to announce these enhancements to our compensation fund and member guidelines, as Financial Commission reaches a new milestone on our 3rd anniversary. These two areas of improvement, reflect our growth, and commitment to enhance our offering, to the members we serve and their underlying clients.”
