EverFX
Forex & CFD broker · FCA-banned · Rebranded to axiance 2021
TC RATING
Not Rated
We do not recommend this broker. EverFX was banned from the UK by the FCA, had its CySEC licence withdrawn, and rebranded out of existence as axiance in 2021. Any current use of the EverFX name has been flagged by the FCA as an unauthorised clone. It does not qualify for a TC Rating.
If you are researching EverFX, the most important facts are the ones its old marketing never mentioned. EverFX was banned from the UK by the Financial Conduct Authority, had its Cyprus licence withdrawn, was barred in Germany, and quietly rebranded itself out of existence in 2021. Any site still using the EverFX name today is either a leftover or an outright clone. We do not recommend it.
Is EverFX regulated or safe?
No. EverFX is not a safe, regulated broker, and as a brand it no longer genuinely operates. Here is what happened, in order:
- CySEC withdrew its licence. EverFX was run by ICC Intercertus Capital Ltd, authorised in Cyprus under licence 301/16. On 7 May 2021, under Decision 269/2021, the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission withdrew that authorisation, after which the firm was no longer permitted to provide investment services.
- The FCA banned it in the UK. In May 2021, the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority ordered ICC Intercertus, trading as EverFX, to stop offering CFDs to UK clients, close all open positions, and return customer funds. The FCA cited misleading promotions, pressure to deposit more money, account managers instructing clients on trades, and clients being blocked from withdrawing funds.
- Germany and Italy acted too. Germany’s BaFin had already restricted the brand in 2020, and Italy’s CONSOB ordered the blocking of its website.
- The CIMA licence was revoked. The Cayman Islands licence the brand once pointed to has since been revoked.
In August 2021, the company retired the EverFX name entirely and rebranded as “axiance.” The original EverFX brand effectively ceased to exist at that point.
- YOUR MONEY IS NOT PROTECTED
Trading with an unregulated broker carries real risks. You have no access to a financial ombudsman, no guaranteed segregation of your funds, and no compensation scheme if the broker fails or refuses a withdrawal.
A warning about EverFX clones
There is an added danger today. The FCA has flagged that the domain global.everfx.com is operated by an unauthorised clone, with no connection to the original licensed company. In other words, the EverFX name is now being used by an unauthorised operator to lend itself false credibility. If you encounter a live “EverFX” site, treat it as unsafe regardless of what it claims about regulation.
Why this matters
EverFX is a textbook example of why regulation status has to be checked at the source, and why a licence on its own is not enough. The firm did hold a CySEC licence, and it used that to appear legitimate while, according to the FCA, funnelling UK clients to overseas group entities that offered no real protection. When the regulators caught up, the licences were withdrawn and the brand was abandoned. The clients caught in the middle were left to claim their money back.
The lesson applies to every broker: a logo or a licence number means nothing until you confirm it is current and valid on the regulator’s own register, and a history of regulator action is a reason to walk away, not a footnote.
Conclusion
EverFX was an online forex and CFD brand operated by ICC Intercertus Capital Ltd. It was banned from the UK by the FCA, restricted in Germany by BaFin, had its CySEC authorisation withdrawn, and rebranded itself as axiance in 2021. Any remaining use of the EverFX name has been flagged by the FCA as an unauthorised clone. We do not recommend EverFX in any form. If you want to trade, choose a broker whose licence you can verify as live and in good standing on the regulator’s own website.
