Fusion Markets has extended Negative Balance Protection to clients outside Australia, effective immediately. The safeguard, which prevents a trading account from falling below zero during periods of extreme market volatility, was previously available only to Australian retail clients.

Text size:

Negative Balance Protection (NBP) works by resetting an account balance to zero if losses exceed available equity, meaning clients can never lose more than the funds in their account. Australian retail clients have had access to this protection as part of Fusion's compliance with Australian regulatory standards. Clients trading outside Australia did not previously have the same guarantee, but after the extension to clients worldwide, that gap is now closed.

Fusion Markets clients, both inside and outside Australia, now trade with the same downside protection as of today, given they meet the NBP eligibility requirements outlined in Fusion’s NBP policy document. No action is required from clients, as the change applies to eligible new and existing accounts, which will be reset to zero on the next business day.

CEO Phil Horner said the extension reflects a broader principle Fusion applies across its client base.

"Negative Balance Protection isn't something that should depend on which entity a client happens to be signed up with. Extreme moves in the market can happen to anyone, and that shouldn't leave a client out of pocket beyond what they put in. That is why we've extended the same protection to traders worldwide."

The change applies across all account types and instruments, including forex, indices, commodities, and share CFDs.

This rollout is part Fusion Markets' wider efforts to improve the trading experience. Along with 24/7 withdrawals and greatly improved processing times, Fusion has remained focused on building features that reflect their mission of changing traders' expectation of their broker by providing radically low costs, a frictionless trading experience, and fast, legendary service.
