XM vs FXTM for residents of Egypt

In Egypt the Financial Regulatory Authority (FRA) supervises non-bank financial services and the Central Bank of Egypt sets banking and currency rules. Check the company that signs your agreement in its own regulator’s register, and ask the broker how an Egyptian client can fund and withdraw.
