FXGroup Expelled
FXGroup had not met its contractual obligations as a Financial Commission member and was expelled for non-payment of its dues, starting from June 7th, 2017 when company’s membership was ceased. |
Financial Commission notes that it will not be able to process any new complaints from FXGroup, following its expulsion from Financial Commission as of the date of this announcement and moving forward.
Furthermore, FXGroup’s clients will not be eligible for reimbursement from Financial Commission’s compensation fund as a non-member, since the compensation fund can only be used by clients of approved members, and subject to ruling by our Dispute Resolution Committee. The compensation fund is designed to help protect members’ clients in exceptional cases and is funded by Financial Commission from a portion of membership dues.
