Negative balance protection: do you know if your broker offers it?

Negative balance protection means you can't lose more than your deposit — your balance can't go below zero. It's required for retail clients in the UK, the EU and Australia, but a broker's offshore entities may not offer it.

Check your own situation and share:

• which entity of the broker your account is with
• whether the terms mention negative balance protection
• whether you've ever actually needed it

The negative balance protection guide explains the rules by region.
