SquaredFinancial is a relatively young forex broker, founded in October 2018 and operating under the full legal name SQ Sey Ltd. The company is registered in Seychelles, with its office situated at Commercial House 1, Office no 4, Eden Island, Mahe. The broker targets retail traders and presents itself as a regulated, multi‑asset provider with a strong emphasis on education and modern technology.

The company’s marketing materials position it as a forward‑thinking broker built for the next generation of traders. It offers a suite of popular trading platforms—MT4, MT5, and a proprietary mobile app—and a dedicated Trading Academy that gets frequent mentions in user praise. Despite its Seychelles registration, SquaredFinancial also holds licenses in Cyprus and Australia, adding layers to its regulatory profile.

SquaredFinancial holds three licenses: one from the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC, license no. 329/17), one from the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC, license no. 473495), and one from the Seychelles Financial Services Authority (FSA, license no. SD024). The CySEC and ASIC licenses are generally regarded as stronger regulatory regimes, while the Seychelles FSA license is classified as offshore.

This multi‑jurisdictional setup means that clients may be onboarded under different entities depending on their region. The broker is transparent about its legal entities in its terms and conditions, though traders should verify which license covers their account, as investor protection differs markedly across these jurisdictions.

The broker offers three distinct account tiers: SquaredPro (minimum deposit $0, spreads from 1.2 pips, no commission), SquaredElite (minimum deposit $500, spreads from 0.0 pips, $5 commission per lot per side), and an Islamic swap‑free account. All accounts share a maximum leverage of 1:2000—an exceptionally high offering that should be approached with caution.

The SquaredPro account appears designed for beginners or those who wish to start with no deposit requirement, while the SquaredElite caters to more active traders who prefer raw spreads and commission‑based pricing. The Islamic account is available upon request and complies with Sharia law by eliminating swap interest.

SquaredFinancial advertises a broad selection of tradable instruments across Forex, Metals, Indices, Energy, Stocks, Futures, and Cryptocurrencies. While specific symbols are not listed in the provided data, the broker’s website claims access to major, minor, and exotic forex pairs, as well as popular indices and commodities.

The inclusion of cryptocurrencies and futures suggests an attempt to cater to traders looking to diversify beyond spot forex. However, the absence of detailed instrument lists means a trader must open a demo or live account to review the exact offering.

The broker accepts deposits via Neteller, Skrill, and credit/debit cards (Mastercard and Visa). Withdrawals are processed through the same channels. The company does not disclose minimum or maximum transaction amounts, processing times, or any applicable fees in the provided data, leaving users to discover these details only after account opening.

Reviews suggest that while deposits are generally smooth, withdrawal experiences are mixed, with some traders reporting seamless payouts and others facing prolonged delays. The lack of transparent fee disclosure is a point of concern for many.

A standout feature in the broker’s own words is its Trading Academy, which offers educational resources and live training sessions. Many positive reviews specifically commend the academy and the trainers, painting a picture of a broker that genuinely invests in trader development.

Customer support is claimed to be responsive and helpful. However, the real‑user record introduces a stark split: while some traders laud the support, an equal number complain of radio silence when problems arise, particularly around withdrawals.
