FX Junction Verdict

FinecoBank is a strong Italian banking and brokerage platform, especially for clients looking for a regulated bank-based investment account with access to stocks, ETFs, bonds, futures, options, Forex and CFDs. Its strengths are regulation, banking status, proprietary platforms and broad traditional market access. However, it is not a natural fit for a standard FX/CFD broker CMS profile because it does not support MT4/MT5, uses an OTC Market Maker model for CFDs and does not publish complete CMS-ready spread data for the usual forex, index and commodity benchmark instruments.
