Finarix Review

About Finarix

Finarix operates under Zolarex Ltd., a Marshall Islands–registered entity (registration number 78978), as stated on its website; however, the Marshall Islands registry does not authorize or regulate forex or brokerage operations (). No reputable financial authority provides Finarix with a valid license, and its regulatory status is annulled or absent (). The Spanish CNMV issued a public warning on December 9, 2019, indicating that Zolarex Ltd (operating Finarix) is not authorized to offer investment or auxiliary services under the Spanish Securities Markets Act ().

Finarix offers forex and CFD trading via a proprietary web-based platform (no MT4/MT5 access), with account base currencies in EUR and USD, a minimum deposit of approximately USD 250, and leverage up to 1:200 or higher as advertised (). It supports scalping and hedging, but Islamic/swap-free accounts are not offered (). Withdrawal processing may include fees and unusual conditions; for example, a 10 % fee applies if a high trading volume threshold is not met, and delayed or denied withdrawals are frequently reported ().
