Infinox is a Silver Standard broker whose UK entity holds Tier 1 FCA regulation, with above-benchmark ECN commissions, unverified execution data and recurring account-access complaints as the primary risk flags. Choose it for FCA-protected MetaTrader access, not for the lowest commissions.
Introduction
This Infinox review answers one question: should you trust this broker with your money? Based on publicly available information as of October 25, 2026, the answer is a qualified yes for clients served by its UK entity. Clients on offshore entities should take more care.
Infinox, operated by Infinox Capital Ltd and registered in the United Kingdom, holds an active license with the Financial Conduct Authority under license number 501057. The broker operates its retail platform at https://www.infinox.com. Founded in 2009 and based in London, it also serves clients through IX Capital Group Limited in The Bahamas and Infinox Limited in Mauritius. It matters because few brokers pair FCA oversight with account minimums that third-party sources put between $1 and $100. Its costs and public feedback are less consistent, though. Under our four-factor methodology, Infinox earns a Silver Standard classification with 67.9 points.
Regulation & Safety
Is Infinox regulated? Yes. Its UK entity is authorized by the FCA, a Tier 1 regulator, and two other entities hold licenses in Tier 2 jurisdictions. Whether Infinox is safe depends largely on which entity holds your account.
| Regulator | Tier Status | License Number | Key Client Protections |
|---|---|---|---|
| Financial Conduct Authority (UK), Infinox Capital Ltd | Tier 1 | 501057 | Segregated client money, 1:30 retail leverage cap, negative balance protection, FSCS eligibility up to £85,000 under scheme rules |
| Securities Commission of The Bahamas, IX Capital Group Limited | Tier 2 (our assessment) | SIA F-188 | Securities dealer registration. Leverage and risk disclosures rest largely on firm policy |
| Financial Services Commission (Mauritius), Infinox Limited | Tier 2 | GB20025832 | Investment dealer license. Leverage and risk disclosures rest largely on firm policy |
The FCA passes all four floor tests. It licenses retail CFD trading, caps leverage, requires segregated client funds, and has a record of public enforcement. The two Tier 2 regulators do not impose comparable retail caps.
Three further points need flagging. First, a 2024 industry review also listed South Africa’s FSCA as a regulator. We could not confirm that license is current. Second, WikiFX lists the “INFINOX LTD” profile as unverified and scores it 1.54 out of 10. That reflects a database entry, not the FCA register, where license 501057 appears in multiple sources. Third, third-party reviews cite supplementary insurance of up to USD 1,000,000 per qualifying client, valid through May 2026. We could not verify a renewal. A 2024 review noted the firm denied unspecified allegations and kept its FCA authorization. Based on publicly available information, we found no live regulator warning or license cancellation.
Execution Quality & Trading Costs
Infinox has not published execution-speed or slippage statistics that we could verify, so it cannot be benchmarked on speed. Its ECN pricing sits above the peer average on total cost.
Execution data is thin. Trustpilot reviewers describe fast fills and stable MetaTrader platforms. Those are anecdotes, not measurements in milliseconds. We found no documented slippage rate, requote rate, or news-event stability data. We therefore scored this factor conservatively.
Cost data is clearer. Infinox offers STP and ECN accounts on MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, and a proprietary social trading platform.
| Account | Execution Model | Average EURUSD Spread | Commission | Peer Benchmark |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | STP | About 0.9 pips (roughly $9 per lot) | None | Traders Union’s average standard-account spread is 0.8 pips ($8 per lot) |
| ECN | ECN | 0.0 to 0.3 pips | About $7 per lot, per one source (an older source cites £5) | Average ECN commission is $3.50 per lot across 200 brokers. Average all-in ECN cost is $5.20 per lot across 300 brokers |
On those figures, an ECN lot costs roughly $7 to $10 all-in. That is above the $5.20 benchmark. Infinox fees are therefore competitive on spreads but not on commissions.
Non-trading fees are inconsistent across sources. One comparison site reports no inactivity fee. A second says accounts dormant for three consecutive months face charges. Clients should read the current fee schedule before funding an account.
Trader Reputation & Market Presence
Under our four-factor methodology, we reviewed regulatory disclosures, independent review platforms, and trader feedback. Positive themes include tight ECN spreads, MetaTrader stability, copy-trading tools, and daily market analysis. Many five-star Trustpilot posts are short and generic, so we gave them limited weight.
Complaints cluster around account closures, disabled client-portal access despite completed verification, and disputed trade deletions or profit confiscation. Examples date from August and November 2025. Infinox replies to many reviews and directs complainants to support. Forex Peace Army lists a 1.775 rating from 36 reviews, though that data is older. One Trustpilot reviewer alleges serious misconduct. We could not corroborate it and do not rely on it.
On corporate developments, we found no acquisitions, mergers, or divestitures involving Infinox in publicly available information as of the date of this review. The group structure of IX Capital Group Limited, Infinox Capital Ltd, and Infinox Limited remains the relevant ownership picture.
Strengths & Weaknesses

Overall Verdict
Infinox earns a Silver Standard classification with a composite score of 67.9 out of 100. Entity-level scoring follows our rule: the highest-scoring entity, the FCA-regulated Infinox Capital Ltd, sets the rating.
The platform suits UK and European retail traders who want FCA protection, MetaTrader access, and an ECN option. It is a weaker fit for traders who prioritize the lowest commissions or documented execution statistics. Among FCA-authorized ECN-style peers such as Pepperstone and Tickmill, Infinox competes on account flexibility and history rather than cost.

Expert Review Notes (Staff Insight)
Entity layering is the main audit theme. Three licensed entities operate under similar branding, and two domains appear in third-party records (infinox.com and infinoxbs.com). Clients should confirm which legal entity appears on their agreement.
Marketing and practice diverge on leverage. Reviewers cite offers up to 1:1000, while the FCA entity is capped at 1:30. Offshore entities carry no equivalent cap.
Insurance claims deserve scrutiny. Third-party material cites USD 500,000 and USD 1,000,000 figures, and the latter period ended in May 2026. We could not verify current cover.
Routing disclosure is incomplete. Infinox labels accounts STP or ECN, but we found no published order-routing or execution-quality report. Fee disclosure also conflicts on inactivity charges. These gaps cost points on staff insight.
