Is Quotex legal in Philippines?
The SEC has repeatedly warned against unlicensed online forex platforms. Retail forex is not broadly licensed domestically, so most trading uses offshore brokers — understand the reduced protection.
Quotex does not hold a SEC Philippines / Bangko Sentral licence specifically for Philippines in our records, so Filipino clients are typically served through Quotex's international/offshore entity. That means you rely on that entity's regulation rather than local Philippines protection — check which entity you're signing up with.

Before you trade from Philippines
Laws change and are enforced differently — this is general information, not legal advice. Always confirm the current rules with SEC Philippines / Bangko Sentral and verify which Quotex entity serves Philippines. Trading Forex/CFDs is high-risk and can lose all your capital.
