How we protect your money
Five safeguards that apply to every Xellion account, explained simply — and the licence that requires them.
Your money is kept apart from ours
Client deposits sit in segregated client accounts. Company money — used to pay staff, suppliers and running costs — is held in separate operating accounts, so client money is not used to run the business.
Every client is verified before funding
We check your identity and address, and screen every account against anti-money-laundering rules. Verified accounts make it much harder for anyone to open an account in your name or move illicit money.

Protection against a negative balance
Markets can gap on big news. If a sudden move pushes your account below zero, we reset the balance to zero instead of asking you to pay the difference. CFDs remain high risk and you can still lose your whole deposit.
Withdrawals go only to you
We pay withdrawals only to bank accounts, wallets or cards in your own verified name. Requests to send money to someone else are refused.
Licensed and verifiable
Xellion is licensed by the Financial Services Commission of Mauritius. You can check our licence on the FSC's public register at any time.
Questions about safety
Is my money kept separate from Xellion's own money?
Yes. Client money is held in segregated accounts, separate from the company's operating funds, so it is not used to run the business.
Why do I need to verify my identity?
Anti-money-laundering law and our AML & KYC Policy require us to confirm who you are before you fund. The checks also help keep criminals out of the financial system.
Can I lose more than I deposit?
Every account has negative balance protection: if a fast market move takes your account below zero, the balance is reset to zero rather than charged to you. You can still lose everything you deposit.
Can someone else withdraw my money?
Withdrawals are only paid to accounts, wallets or cards in your own verified name. Third-party payments are not allowed.
Risk warning: CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. Client protections do not remove market risk. Risk disclosure
