RIFX Review

About RIFX

RIFX operates without regulation from any recognized financial authority; no valid licences from entities such as the FCA, CySEC, ASIC or NFA/CFTC are documented. Claims of licensing from the U.S. SEC are misleading, as the SEC does not issue licences for forex brokers; no evidence supports RIFX’s regulation by any authority ().

RIFX offers MetaTrader 4 and cTrader platforms, with tradable instruments including futures, options on futures, commodities, forex, CFDs, indices and other foreign-currency‑denominated instruments (). Account types mentioned include Elite, Astral, Stellar, Titans, with a minimum deposit of USD 50, maximum leverage up to 1:400, and a $6 per lot commission for the Zero account; spreads and deposit methods vary by account type ().

RIFX is operated by Royal Investment Market Limited, headquartered in Iraq with branches in Basra and Baghdad (Al‑Karnawi Mosque Street, and Mansour – Meeting Square near the Tunisian Embassy), where in‑person deposits, withdrawals and support can be accessed (). The website issues a risk warning noting that trading forex and CFDs involves high risk and may not suit all investors; the site is not directed at residents of the United States, Belgium, Canada or Singapore ().

Claims of regulatory oversight from South Sudan (Juba) are false; no such forex‑trading authority exists there or anywhere else granting such licensing, and RIFX remains unregulated ().
