The brand is not the entity
A global brand may operate through different legal entities, products and terms in different countries. Find the entity named in your account agreement and compare it with the regulator’s public register where one exists. A local-language website or local address is not a license by itself.
Check the full service path
Read supported countries, identity requirements, asset networks, withdrawal limits and complaint channels before depositing. Availability can change when you move, change residency or use a different product. Keep a copy of the terms and the date you checked them.
Start with reversibility
- Use a small balance until you understand withdrawal and support procedures.
- Prefer official app links and two-factor authentication.
- Keep self-custody recovery plans independent of any single platform.
