I've used them as my first broker. Nothing special. Fx division was based in Cyprus. Migrated to Fxpro. The main reason i left them was that they didn't accept us customers. Therefore, for serious trading i decided to work with broker that strongly regulated. At least by NFA and located here in the US. It doesn't mean my fx experience was pure with northfinance but i had never traded big volumes. It is a main reason not to be sure in excellence of this fx broker among others. I also found a notice in my emails that Cyprus government issued prohibition for NF to operate in Cyprus.
