How Otto approaches compliance, client protection and responsible trading. We believe transparency is the foundation of a broker worth trading with.
Trust is earned through how a broker operates every day — how it handles your money, protects your data, and treats you when it matters. This page sets out the principles and practices Otto follows. Where specific licensing and legal-entity details apply to your account, they are provided in your client agreement at sign-up.
We handle client funds responsibly and separately from day-to-day operating money, and pay withdrawals back to your verified source.
We verify the identity of our clients to help prevent fraud and keep accounts secure — a standard part of responsible onboarding.
We apply anti-money-laundering and counter-terrorist-financing controls, including monitoring and source-of-funds checks where appropriate.
We aim to execute your orders promptly and fairly at the best price available, with a clear record of every fill.
Your personal data is encrypted, used only as described in our Privacy Policy, and never sold.
If something goes wrong, you can raise it with us and we will investigate and respond.
Trading leveraged products carries a high level of risk, and it is not suitable for everyone. We are committed to presenting risk clearly, not hiding it. Every client should understand that it is possible to lose more than an initial deposit, and should never trade with money they cannot afford to lose.
The specific terms that govern your account — including the legal entity you contract with, applicable jurisdiction, and any regulatory permissions — are set out in the client agreement and legal documents you receive when you open an account. Please read them carefully before trading.
