November 2nd, 2020: The Financial Commission today announces that the membership status of Trade99 has ceased following a voluntary withdrawal.
Trade99 had met its obligations as a Financial Commission member up until October 30th, 2020, when its membership was effectively withdrawn.
Financial Commission notes that it will not be able to process any new complaints from Trade99, following its voluntary withdrawal of membership from the Financial Commission as of October 30th, 2020, and moving forward or until membership is approved again.
Furthermore, Trade99 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 the ruling by our Dispute Resolution Committee. The compensation fund is designed to help protect members’ clients in exceptional cases and is funded by the Financial Commission from a portion of membership dues.
An updated list of current and prior members can be found on FinancialCommission.org, including members that have either been expelled or withdrawn voluntarily.
Financial Commission is a leading independent self-regulatory organization whose members include online brokerages and exchanges, across Forex, CFDs, derivatives and cryptocurrency markets, as well as certified providers and developers of trading platform technology used by members and their end-clients who are retail traders and investors.
Financial Commission requires that member firms strictly adhere to membership rules to maintain good standing on an ongoing basis. To learn more about our membership requirements and certification process, contact us or visit https://financialcommission.org
