Segregated client funds

At TeraFX client safety is our main focus. As TeraFX is a regulated broker and in accordance with CASS (Client Asset Sourcebook) we need to uphold certain rules and obligations, offering our clients the fullest security. As stipulated by the FCA client money rules, TeraFX is obliged to segregate all its retail clients’ funds from its own funds.

All our retail clients’ funds are held in separate bank accounts with the world’s top tier one banks and held separately from Tera’s own funds. This ‘ring-fenced protection‘ means that Tera cannot use these funds for any operational purpose.

Whilst we still perform reconciliations of professional client funds, we are not obliged and do not keep professional client funds on a segregated bank account by default. We can, however, consider requests for segregation from our Professional clients on a case by case basis.

Investor protection and compensation

As a UK based, authorised and regulated financial services firm, our clients are afforded the protection of the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS), subject to scheme eligibility. This means that cash and assets held by us are covered by the FSCS. This means that if, in an unlikely event, we are unable, or likely to be unable, to pay claims against us, customers can apply to the FSCS for compensation. Any claim will be limited to £85,000 per individual.
