XM is a legitimate, internationally regulated forex and CFD broker that has operated since 2009. It is regulated by CySEC (Cyprus), ASIC (Australia), IFSC (Belize), and DFSA (Dubai). Filipino traders access XM through XM Global Limited under IFSC Belize regulation. XM is not regulated by the Philippine SEC or BSP, but no Philippine law prohibits residents from using regulated international brokers. XM maintains segregated client funds, offers negative balance protection, and has served millions of traders globally for 16+ years.\"\r\n }\r\n },\r\n {\r\n \"@type\": \"Question\",\r\n \"name\": \"Is XM regulated by the SEC Philippines or BSP?\",\r\n \"acceptedAnswer\": {\r\n \"@type\": \"Answer\",\r\n \"text\": \"No. XM does not hold a licence from the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) or Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP). However, the Philippine SEC does not currently license offshore CFD brokers \u2014 no international forex broker holds a local Philippine CFD trading licence.

XM is not a scam. It is a legitimate, internationally regulated broker that has operated since 2009, serving over 20 million clients worldwide.

However, this is the case for all international forex and CFD brokers operating in the Philippines \u2014 the Philippine SEC currently does not license or regulate offshore retail forex\/CFD platforms. This means there is no such thing as a \"SEC Philippines-licensed forex broker\" for international platforms, making international regulation the only framework that matters.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"tbl-wrap\">\r\n <table>\r\n <thead><tr><th>Regulator<\/th><th>Entity<\/th><th>Licence<\/th><th>Applies to Filipino traders?<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>\r\n <tbody>\r\n <tr><td>SEC Philippines<\/td><td>None<\/td><td>Not regulated<\/td><td class=\"tc mid\">No PH licence (standard for all intl. brokers)<\/td><\/tr>\r\n <tr><td>BSP (Bangko Sentral)<\/td><td>None<\/td><td>Not supervised<\/td><td class=\"tc mid\">Not applicable to CFD brokers<\/td><\/tr>\r\n <tr><td>IFSC (Belize)<\/td><td>XM Global Limited<\/td><td>000261\/397<\/td><td class=\"tc good\">\u2713 Your primary trading entity<\/td><\/tr>\r\n <tr><td>CySEC (Cyprus)<\/td><td>Trading Point of Financial Instruments Ltd<\/td><td>120\/10<\/td><td class=\"tc bad\">EU clients only<\/td><\/tr>\r\n <tr><td>ASIC (Australia)<\/td><td>XM Australia Pty Ltd<\/td><td>443670<\/td><td class=\"tc bad\">AU clients only<\/td><\/tr>\r\n <tr><td>DFSA (Dubai)<\/td><td>Trading Point MENA Limited<\/td><td>F003484<\/td><td class=\"tc bad\">MENA clients only<\/td><\/tr>\r\n <\/tbody>\r\n <\/table>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"box box-green\">\r\n <p class=\"box-title green\">\u2705 What Makes XM Safe for Filipino Traders Despite No PH Licence<\/p>\r\n <ul>\r\n <li><strong>16 years of operation<\/strong> since 2009 \u2014 one of the longest track records of any international broker in the market<\/li>\r\n <li><strong>Segregated client funds<\/strong> \u2014 your money is held separately from XM's operational capital in top-tier banks<\/li>\r\n <li><strong>Negative balance protection<\/strong> \u2014 you cannot lose more than your deposited amount under any market condition<\/li>\r\n <li><strong>Multi-jurisdictional regulation<\/strong> \u2014 CySEC, ASIC, IFSC, DFSA provide layered oversight even if not directly from PH authorities<\/li>\r\n <li><strong>No history of fund theft<\/strong> \u2014 transparent withdrawal processing with millions of completed transactions globally<\/li>\r\n <li><strong>XM is the trading name<\/strong> of Trading Point Holdings Ltd \u2014 a publicly verifiable corporate entity in Cyprus<\/li>\r\n <\/ul>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/section>\r\n\r\n <!-- SECTION 2 \u2014 OVERVIEW -->\r\n <section id=\"overview\">\r\n <h2>XM Philippines 2026 \u2014 Key Facts and Features for Filipino Traders<\/h2>\r\n <p>XM has built a strong following among Filipino traders \u2014 from first-time retail investors to OFWs looking to invest remittances.
