Countries Fully Blocked by XM Broker — Complete Verified List 2026
The following countries are definitively restricted by XM. Attempts to register from these countries result in an automatic rejection during the registration or KYC verification process. The restriction cannot be bypassed by changing account type or selecting a different XM entity.
US law prohibits American residents from trading forex and CFDs with unregistered offshore brokers. The CFTC and NFA enforce these rules regardless of where the US person physically resides. XM is not registered with the CFTC or NFA and cannot legally offer services to US clients. This restriction is absolute — no entity of XM Group accepts US residents.
Israeli financial regulations restrict offshore CFD and forex brokers from operating without a local ISA (Israel Securities Authority) licence. XM does not hold an ISA licence and therefore cannot accept Israeli residents as clients.
Iran is subject to comprehensive international financial sanctions imposed by the UN Security Council, OFAC (US Treasury), and the European Union. As a CySEC and ASIC regulated broker, XM is legally prohibited from providing financial services to Iranian residents under these sanctions frameworks. The restriction applies to all XM entities globally.
North Korea (DPRK) is among the most comprehensively sanctioned countries in the world under UN Security Council resolutions, OFAC, and EU regulations. No internationally regulated broker can legally accept North Korean clients. XM complies with all applicable sanctions frameworks.
Syria is subject to EU, US, and UN financial sanctions that prohibit internationally regulated brokers from providing financial services to Syrian residents. XM's CySEC and ASIC regulated entities are obligated to comply with these sanctions.
In June 2025, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) ordered all Singapore internet service providers to block access to XM's website. XM Global Limited does not hold a Capital Markets Services (CMS) licence from MAS and is prohibited from offering services to Singapore residents. Existing Singapore account holders were unable to access XM's website from Singapore-based ISPs.
Palestine is blocked due to compliance considerations related to international financial monitoring lists and the operational risk assessment conducted by XM's compliance team. This is an internal policy decision in addition to regulatory requirements.
These Ukrainian territories are subject to EU and US sanctions following geopolitical events starting 2014–2022. XM's CySEC-regulated entity is prohibited from servicing residents of these regions under EU sanctions law. Clients from other parts of Ukraine are generally accepted.
Why XM Restricts Certain Countries — Regulatory and Legal Reasons Fully Explained
XM's country restrictions are not arbitrary — each falls into one of four distinct legal categories. Understanding which category applies to your country helps clarify whether the restriction is permanent, conditional, or likely to change.
| Restriction type | What it means | 例子 | Permanent? |
|---|---|---|---|
| International sanctions | UN/OFAC/EU financial sanctions prohibit any regulated broker from serving the country | Iran, North Korea, Syria | 是 |
| Local regulatory prohibition | The country's own laws prohibit residents from using unregistered offshore brokers | USA, Israel, Singapore | Until XM gets local licence |
| Regional regulatory restriction | A specific province/region has rules that differ from the national standard | Ontario (Canada) | Partial |
| Internal compliance policy | XM's own risk and compliance team has assessed the country as too high-risk | Palestine, some sanctioned territories | May change |
How XM Detects and Enforces Country Restrictions During Registration
XM uses three layers of detection to enforce country restrictions during and after registration. Understanding these is important because they explain why VPNs do not work as a bypass strategy:
- IP geolocation: XM's registration system checks your IP address against a database of country-level allocations. Restricted country IPs are blocked at the registration form before any data is entered.
- KYC document review: Government-issued identity documents show your country of citizenship and residence. Regardless of your IP, a US passport or Israeli national ID will result in rejection during manual KYC review.
- Payment method tracing: Bank accounts, cards, and e-wallets are tied to specific countries. A deposit from a US bank account to an account opened using a non-US IP would trigger an AML compliance alert.
Partial Country Restrictions — XM Access with Limitations in 2026
Several countries are neither fully open nor fully blocked. Traders from these countries may encounter restricted services, reduced leverage, different entity routing, or specific account type limitations.
Ontario has its own securities regulator (OSC) with strict rules on offshore forex brokers. XM does not accept Ontario residents. Traders from other Canadian provinces may or may not be able to register — eligibility should be verified directly during the registration process. Canada as a whole is not on XM's global restricted list, but Ontario is enforced.
Japan's Financial Services Agency (FSA) requires all brokers offering financial services to Japanese residents to hold a local Type I Financial Instruments Business licence. XM does not hold this licence and therefore does not solicit Japanese clients. Japanese residents attempting to register may encounter restrictions, though the enforcement varies by entity.
Belgium's Financial Services and Markets Authority (FSMA) implemented a ban on CFD marketing to retail clients. While XM may technically onboard Belgian traders through the CySEC entity under EU MiFID II passporting, the marketing and distribution of CFDs to Belgian retail clients is restricted. Leverage is capped at EU maximums (1:30 on majors).
Russian clients face restrictions under XM's EU-regulated (CySEC) entity due to EU sanctions imposed following the conflict in Ukraine from 2022. Access via XM Global (IFSC) may be available for some Russian traders, but this situation is subject to ongoing geopolitical changes. Russian traders should verify current eligibility directly during registration.
Australian traders are fully accepted via XM's ASIC-regulated entity. However, ASIC's product intervention orders cap leverage at 1:30 for retail clients on major forex pairs, and some high-risk products available on other entities are restricted. Bonuses and the XM loyalty programme are not available to Australian clients under ASIC regulation.
New XM Country Restrictions Added in 2025–2026 — What Changed Recently
XM's country availability is not static. The following significant changes occurred in the 12 months prior to May 2026 that traders should be aware of.
Singapore — Website Blocked by MAS Order (June 2025)
The most significant recent change was the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) ordering the blocking of XM's website for Singapore-based internet users in June 2025. MAS cited the fact that XM Global Limited is not licensed under Singapore's Securities and Futures Act to provide capital markets services to Singapore residents.
This affects Singapore traders at the ISP level — XM's website is blocked by Singapore internet service providers. The underlying regulatory reason (no CMS licence) has been in place since XM's inception; the active blocking by MAS represents an escalation in enforcement.
⚠️ What This Means for Existing Singapore XM Account Holders
Traders who opened XM accounts before June 2025 and are based in Singapore face difficulties accessing XM's website from Singapore-based networks. The MT4/MT5 trading platform itself may still function for position management, but accessing the Members Area for deposits, withdrawals, and account settings through a Singapore ISP is impacted.
XM's Expansion into New Markets in 2025–2026
On the positive side, XM continued expanding its regulatory footprint during 2025–2026. The acquisition of an SCA Category 5 licence in the UAE (late 2025) and maintained operations under FSCA in South Africa demonstrate that XM's country coverage is growing, not shrinking, in most regions. African markets in particular saw expanded access as XM built its local presence.

Every month, traders from restricted countries search for ways to bypass XM's country blocks using VPN services. This approach fails at multiple levels and creates serious risks for your money. Here is exactly why it does not work — and why attempting it is dangerous.
Three Reasons a VPN Cannot Bypass XM Restrictions
- KYC document verification is mandatory. XM requires a government-issued ID and proof of address from every live account holder. A US passport submitted during KYC verification will result in account rejection regardless of what IP address was used during registration. The VPN only masks your IP — it cannot mask your identity documents.
- Payment method tracing. Your bank account, credit card, or e-wallet is tied to a specific country. A deposit from a US bank or a card with a US billing address will trigger an AML review even if your registration IP appeared non-US.
- XM's Terms of Service explicitly prohibit it. Section 4 of XM's Terms of Service states that providing false information about country of residence is grounds for immediate account termination and funds may be held pending compliance investigation.
What Happens If XM Detects a Restricted Country Bypass
- Account is suspended immediately with no prior warning
- All open positions may be forcibly closed at market price
- Funds are frozen pending a compliance review that can take weeks to months
- Withdrawal requests are blocked until the review concludes
- In the most serious cases, funds may not be returned if the account is deemed fraudulent
