Professional broker overview

FindMyFX editorial summary

Macquarie Bank Limited publishes Australian Financial Services Licence 237502 and provides institutional foreign-exchange services across spot and derivatives in major currency pairs. Macquarie's financial-markets pages also describe global futures execution and clearing, while its US subsidiary Macquarie Futures USA LLC is documented as a CFTC-registered futures commission merchant and NFA member. Authoritative records show a 2013 CFTC secured-account penalty, a 2023 CBOT segregation fine and a 2025 CME operator-identification fine involving the US subsidiary. Public retail minimum-deposit, leverage and typical-spread figures were not found because the reviewed offering is institutional and wholesale.

Prepared from reviewed sources for informational purposes. This is not investment advice.

Editorial note: The cited enforcement and disciplinary events concern Macquarie Futures USA LLC, an additional US legal entity, rather than a finding against every Macquarie group company. Product access and contracting entity can vary by jurisdiction and service.
