Is FBS legal in Bangladesh?
Forex trading by residents via offshore brokers is heavily restricted under Bangladesh's foreign-exchange control rules, and moving funds abroad for trading is largely not permitted. Understand the legal risk before trading.
FBS does not hold a Bangladesh Bank licence specifically for Bangladesh in our records, so Bangladeshi clients are typically served through FBS's international/offshore entity. That means you rely on that entity's regulation rather than local Bangladesh protection — check which entity you're signing up with.
FBS's regulation
Operates mainly through an offshore entity (IFSC Belize), with more limited CySEC/ASIC licenses. Southeast Asia focus.
For Bangladeshi traders
Before you trade from Bangladesh
Laws change and are enforced differently — this is general information, not legal advice. Always confirm the current rules with Bangladesh Bank and verify which FBS entity serves Bangladesh. Trading Forex/CFDs is high-risk and can lose all your capital.
