History

FBS was established as Forex Broker Online in 2009 in Cyprus. In its early years, the company introduced trading tools, including a mobile application designed for market access. It subsequently obtained licenses from the Financial Services Commission (FSC) in Belize (former International Financial Services Commission of Belize – IFSC) and the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC), allowing operations in multiple regions. FBS expanded its services to parts of Europe and Asia by adapting language support and payment methods.

Business Model

FBS operates through separate legal entities under the jurisdiction of the FSC (Belize), CySEC (Cyprus), and ASIC (Australia). FBS generates revenue primarily from spreads on Forex and CFD trades.
