Fusion Markets Extends Zero-Balance Protection to Clients in 160 Countries

3 articles · Updated · Yahoo Finance · Aug 18

Summary

  • Effective immediately, Fusion Markets has expanded negative balance protection beyond Australia, covering eligible new and existing client accounts globally.
  • The safeguard resets accounts to zero when losses exceed available equity, ensuring traders cannot lose more than the funds they deposited during extreme market volatility.
  • The change closes a gap under which only Australian retail clients had the protection; overseas clients now receive the same downside cover if they meet policy eligibility rules.
  • Fusion said no client action is required, and the rollout applies across all account types and instruments, including forex, indices, commodities and share CFDs.
  • Founded in 2019, the Australia-based broker said the move fits broader service upgrades and now applies across a business serving traders in more than 160 countries.
