Yes. XM has been named “Best Customer Service” and similar by trade publications including FX Empire, Global Forex Awards and World Finance for several consecutive years. Awards confirm operational scale and editor approval; they do not guarantee individual trading results.
Direct answer
XM’s award list is genuine and verifiable. It is published on independent industry sites with their own editorial methodology. The two things to keep separate are: (a) the award is real, and (b) winning “Best Customer Service” tells you about the broker’s support and scale — not whether you personally will trade profitably.
How industry awards are usually decided
- A panel of editorial staff and analysts reviews regulation, transparency, support quality, education, platforms and client volume.
- For some awards, weighted user voting is added.
- Brokers are typically required to be active across multiple jurisdictions to qualify.
What an award doesn’t tell you
It does not tell you the broker is the cheapest, that your specific entity has the strongest investor protection, or that the platform suits your strategy. Awards are a useful trust signal, not a substitute for reading your own client agreement, terms and fee schedule.

FAQ
Are XM’s industry awards real?
Yes. XM has been named “Best Customer Service” and similar by trade publications including FX Empire, Global Forex Awards and World Finance for several consecutive years. Awards confirm operational scale and editor approval; they do not guarantee individual trading results.
Can a broker buy industry awards?
Sponsorship of award events is common, but the editorial categories at reputable publications (FX Empire, Investment Trends, World Finance) are still decided by editors, not by sponsorship spend.
Should awards influence my broker choice?
They're one input among many. Regulation, fees, withdrawal history and support responsiveness should weigh more heavily than headline awards.
