Our story

Where we came from

XCMarkets was founded in 2017 by a small group of FX traders and quants who were tired of paying institutional prices for retail execution. The original premise was simple: build a broker that quoted raw spreads, executed transparently, and never made money by trading against its own clients.

Eight years later, we serve over half a million traders across 195 countries, route trades through tier-1 banks and prime brokers, and are licensed in the United Kingdom (FCA), the United States (NFA/CFTC), Australia (ASIC) and globally (St. Vincent & the Grenadines).

We're still owned and operated by traders. We still publish our spreads live. And we still believe pricing should be the same whether you're trading $100 or $100 million.

What we stand for

Our principles

Transparency first

Live spreads. Published commissions. No requotes, no last-look, no markup we hide from you.

Aligned incentives

We make money when you trade — not when you lose. Our STP/ECN model routes orders straight through.

Client-first support

24/7 live support in 18 languages, with average chat response under 35 seconds.
