Withdrawals and Support
The broker processes withdrawals in multiple currencies and payment systems and provides round-the-clock customer support. FBS Inc also runs an affiliate program for traders who refer new clients.
Verdict
FBS Inc suits traders who want a low entry point (from $1), scalping-friendly execution, and Islamic account options. It does not support investment-fund accounts, so it is built for individual retail trading rather than managed strategies.
Trading conditions
FBS runs Cent, Standard, ECN and Zero Spread accounts on MetaTrader 4 and 5. The Cent account holds balances in cents and allows very small position sizes, which makes it a practical route to trading a strategy live before committing normal capital.
The broker markets very high leverage on its offshore entity and runs frequent bonus and contest promotions. Bonus credit typically carries volume conditions before withdrawal, and those conditions often apply to the whole account balance rather than to the bonus alone — read them before accepting.
Terms follow the entity: the CySEC and ASIC companies apply regulated caps with negative balance protection; the Belize entity applies neither.
Verification
Verification requires photo ID and a proof of address, usually cleared within one business day and required before the first withdrawal.
Establish which company your client agreement names. FBS routes clients by residence, and the difference between the Cyprus entity — 30:1, negative balance protection, €20,000 compensation cover — and the Belize one is the difference between a supervised counterparty and an unsupervised one.
