- The firm behind it
- Founded 2002 (Warsaw), HQ Poland; WSE-listed (XTB) since 2016; ~1M+ clients globally.
- What we hold against it
- Nigeria not accepted despite large local CFD demand; sources listing XTB as available in Nigeria conflict with XTB's own acceptance list - treat as not served.

Methodology(6 axes · formula v1.0)
Score = 2 + 3 × weighted mean of six axes scored 0–100. Range 2.0–5.0. An axis without data drops out and the remaining weights are renormalised; it is never scored zero or estimated. Group-wide figures never enter a Nigeria score. Full methodology
