We are required by legislation to obtain, verify, and record information identifying each person who opens an account. Hence, when you open an account, we ask that you provide certain documentation to identify yourself and to verify the information you have submitted to us upon registration, such as an identification card or a passport, a utility bill, a bank statement or any document proving their identity issued by a governmental body. We reserve the right to refuse or reject a registration, at our own discretion or based on regulatory restrictions imposed on us.
You may rest assured that we take all measures to ensure that the information you entrust us with will be treated as confidential. Please read our Privacy Statement for more details.

We are a financial services regulated company, following transparent processes in all our relations with you. All funds we receive from you are treated as “Clients Money” and they are kept in separate client bank accounts (segregated accounts) in a reputable banking institution of our selection. We are obliged by legislation to perform regular reviews and monitoring of how these accounts are maintained and operated by such banking institution.
4.3 Currency
All amounts concerned for the opening and the operation of your account will be payable in the currency that you chose upon opening your account with us.
4.4 Payment Methods
We will only accept clear funds (funds that are available in your bank / debit/credit card account).
There are three primary methods of payment that you may choose among, so as to make your transactions:
4.5 Withdrawals – Deposits
So as to proceed with the execution of a withdrawal order, you need to provide us with documentation verifying your identity so that we can authenticate your identity, as required by legislation, credit card companies regulations and our internal policies.
Debit or Credit card deposits may be refunded, up to their entirety, to the same debit or credit card that a withdrawal is executed. A withdrawal to a bank account where initial deposits have been performed by debit or credit cards or e-wallets will be executed at our discretion.
Withdrawals to bank account may take a longer time period to be credited to your account. When choosing an DirektFX benz account base currency other than the currency used in your debit or credit card, you should be aware that your debit or credit card may be incurred sums which are due to currency conversion or other charges; therefore your refunded amount may slightly vary from the sum that you initially deposited in your DirektFX benz account base currency. Please read the terms and conditions of the bank that you hold an account with regarding their charge policies in currency conversion.
Wire Transfers: When depositing funds via bank transfer you must use your personal bank account, in a bank established in the country of you permanent residence. This is an absolute requirement imposed by Anti-Money Laundering legislation. An authentic SWIFT or transfer confirmation, indicating the origin of the funds, must be sent from your bank to us. If such SWIFT or transfer confirmation is not sent, the deposit may not reach your DirektFX benz account and it will be returned to your bank account. As already established, any withdrawal of funds, from your DirektFX benz account, can only be refunded to the same bank account that the funds were originally received from.
E-wallets payment methods: if you decide to deposit funds via e-wallets, you are bound by the rules and regulations of this service provider. You may also be liable to further charges and other restrictions. Please read the terms and conditions of your service provider in this respect. We will credit your DirektFX benz account with the net amount we received. Please note that we may have to execute withdrawals via a facility other than the provider you used for the original deposit, if required by legal and regulatory purposes (Anti Money Laundering rules).
Deposit Limit Restrictions: Also, note that we may, upon our own discretion, impose certain restrictions on the amounts that you have deposited using your debit or credit card.
4.6 Rolling Fees
You may choose to extend a day-trading position to the following day. Such extension will be subject to a renewal fee (Rolling Fee) at a rate and time, specified on our website. We will collect the Renewal Fee from the free balance in your account. If there are not sufficient funds in your free balance, we may deduct such Fee directly from your credit card (minimum charge being 3.00 USD, but this may vary). If you are using another method of payment, and we are unable to collect the Rolling Fee, we may close a part or all, your open positions.

We are required by law to inform you that forex is risky. There are various factors, such as the international currency prices volatility, which is very difficult to predict. Due to such volatility, in addition to the spread that we add to all calculations and quotes, no financial contract purchased or other service offered on our Web site (whether or not the payout exceeds the premium amount) may be considered as a safe trade.
Do not enter into transactions or invest funds that are above your financial abilities. Also, certain financial products are not suitable for people without the relevant knowledge and / or experience. This is why we provide you with different options in terms of products and services, depending on your abilities and knowledge. If you would still wish to open an account, we will ask you to acknowledge that you are aware of the financial risks.
It is rare, however possible, that a transaction may be performed on a wrong price due a miss-quote price feed from any of our third party liquidity providers or through an unexpected technical fault. Equally, there may be delays due to internet connection or occasions where a position is opened or closed, based on latent prices that do not reflect the correct market prices at the time of transaction, resulting in a inaccurate profit or inaccurate loss.
Such events may affect your transactions and our business. In this case, we will take all the necessary measures, immediately, to remedy and rectify the situation, as it is fair and suited to each case. Remedies include correcting deal entry prices or exit prices according to the correct market rates at the time of transaction. We may need to cancel any transaction(s) which was executed wrongly due to the ‘’price misquote”, for example from preset limit orders been triggered due to mispricing. We make our best efforts to contact and inform you for our actions, by telephone or by e-mail.
In the unlike event that we may need to suspend our services, on both our proprietary and third party platforms, we will terminate our relationship with you and subsequently close all open positions at payouts fair and reasonable at the time. Such payouts shall be determined by reference to the daily values published on our web site that are related to the inter-bank trading data received on financial contract quotes.
