Fund protection
Segregated client accounts
Client funds are held in segregated accounts, separate from IUX's own operating capital, at all times. This means company funds are never commingled with client deposits, and client money cannot be used to cover business expenses or corporate liabilities. IUX partners with top-tier global banks to hold those funds, so your capital remains identifiable and protected even in a worst-case scenario.
For large-portfolio traders, this is the first line of protection: segregation is what stands between your capital and the broker's own balance sheet.
Security
Cybersecurity measures
IUX applies multiple layers of security across account access, data handling, and infrastructure:
| Layer | Measure |
|---|---|
| Account access | Two-factor authentication (2FA): password plus a mobile verification code |
| Session control | Device monitoring with login notifications; automatic session timeout after inactivity |
| Threat detection | Real-time alerts for unusual login attempts or account changes |
| Data in transit | 256-bit SSL encryption, matching the standard used by major financial institutions |
| Payments | PCI DSS-compliant payment processing for all card transactions |
| Infrastructure | Enterprise-grade data centers with 24/7 monitoring, redundant power, and fire suppression |
| Privacy | Client data is never sold or shared with unauthorized third parties |
Risk controls
Limits that hold when the market does not
Negative balance protection applies to every account: you can never lose more than your account balance, even in highly volatile market conditions.
Guaranteed stop loss is available on selected instruments, so a stop can hold at your chosen level through extreme volatility rather than filling past it.
Regulation
Related regulation and licensing
Fund segregation is not an internal policy IUX applies by choice; it follows from the regulatory framework the business operates under. Entity, regulator and licence details are listed in full on the Regulation page.
