About company
BTFX is a Maltese broker that belongs to Brokersclub Ltd. The company was established in 2011. Brokersclub Ltd. is licensed by the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA), the only financial regulator in Malta. The MFSA applies a set of specific rules and requirements to license holders. One of the main rules is that license holders are required to maintain a risk management system and report on their activity to the MFSA. Interestingly, all the information about the broker in this review has been found on third-party websites, since the broker’s official website features only contact details, including geolocation, email, and a phone number. This, of course, does not mean that the broker is a scammer, but we strongly recommend that you pay attention to this fact.
