No. XM does not onboard US retail clients. The US has its own forex regulatory regime (CFTC/NFA) that XM Group entities are not licensed under.
Direct answer
The United States is one of the most heavily ring-fenced forex markets in the world: brokers serving US retail clients must be CFTC-registered and NFA-member. XM Group does not hold those registrations and does not market or onboard US retail clients.
What this means in practice
- US residents cannot complete signup at XM — the form blocks US residency.
- Existing clients who relocate to the US must close their XM positions before the move.
- VPN-based circumvention will fail at KYC and lead to account closure.

Very few. The US retail forex market is dominated by US-domiciled brokers (OANDA, Forex.com, IG US).
What if I’m a US citizen living abroad?
XM's onboarding is primarily by residency, but US citizenship can still trigger compliance complications. Always disclose accurately.
