Trading conditions
101Investing operated from Cyprus under CySEC authorisation with MiFID passporting into the European Economic Area, offering deposit-tiered accounts on MetaTrader 4.
Tiering means the advertised spread belongs to the top tier. Check which tier your intended deposit actually places you in before comparing against a flat-priced broker — the gap between entry and top tiers on this model is usually large.
Status check required. This profile reflects the site's existing record. Verify the entity's current authorisation on the CySEC register, and check the regulator's announcements, before treating this as a live option.
Verification
Verification required photo ID and proof of address plus an appropriateness assessment and economic profile, as MiFID rules require.
Before opening any account under this brand, search the CySEC register for FXBFI Broker Financial Invest Ltd and read any published decisions attached to it. A licence appearing in a website footer is not evidence that the authorisation is current.
