Client funds, held the right way.

Before opening an account with Moneywell, get familiar with how we're regulated, the legal documents you need to read, and how we handle the money our clients deposit.

Our commitment

Moneywell is committed to providing the same excellent trading costs, execution and segregated funds in a tier-1 bank to every client โ€” whether you trade once a year or run a systematic strategy with millions of dollars of turnover.

Segregated client funds

All client deposits are held in segregated accounts with tier-1 UK and EU banks, fully separated from Moneywell's operating funds. This means that, in the unlikely event of insolvency, your money is identifiable and ring-fenced from creditors of the company.

Negative balance protection

Retail clients benefit from negative balance protection. In extreme market conditions โ€” flash crashes, weekend gaps, sudden re-pricings โ€” you can never lose more than your account equity. Any negative balance is written off, not chased.

Best execution

We publish quarterly best-execution reports detailing average spreads, fill rates, slippage statistics and the execution venues used across every asset class. Our Order Execution Policy lists the exact factors we use to choose where each order is routed.

Anti-money-laundering

Moneywell follows the UK Money Laundering Regulations and applies a risk-based approach to client onboarding, ongoing monitoring and source-of-funds verification.

Segregated accounts

Client money held separately from corporate funds with tier-1 UK and EU banks.

Negative balance protection

Retail clients cannot lose more than the equity in their account, even in extreme markets.

Compensation eligibility

Where applicable, retail clients are covered by statutory compensation schemes up to the legal limits.

Transparent reporting

Quarterly best-execution and order-flow reports published publicly on this site.
