Is XTB legal in Vietnam?
Retail forex via offshore brokers sits in a legal grey area in Vietnam — it is not clearly licensed domestically and authorities have warned about unlicensed platforms. Proceed with caution and understand the local risk.
XTB does not hold a State Bank of Vietnam licence specifically for Vietnam in our records, so Vietnamese clients are typically served through XTB's international/offshore entity. That means you rely on that entity's regulation rather than local Vietnam protection — check which entity you're signing up with.

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