eToro and our relationship with you
eToro is more than just another Forex website. It is a one-of-a-kind financial trading platform that offers a revolutionary new approach to both Forex and financial trading. The eToro platform connects you directly with our chosen partner brokers, enabling instant access to the limitless potential of the Forex market. eToro is the perfect place to trade from, because while other Forex companies focus on selling their services, we focus on delivering an innovative visual trading experience that makes financial trading a pleasure.
The unprecedented success of eToro's innovative platform has led several of the world’s leading brokers – including RetailFX, FX Solutions, AvaFX, ICMarkets and others – to offer Forex brokerage services across the eToro platform. All financial transactions that occur across the platform are made solely between the client and the broker. Our partner brokers provide our clients with market liquidity, place their trades and execute their trading orders. They also extend to our clients the leverage they use when they make trades on margin. eToro collaborates exclusively with respected international brokers that offer our clients the best, most flexible, trading conditions around. eToro is licensed to offer its platform for traders in the U.S.A. through brokers that are licensed with the National Futures Association (NFA).
