What the ASIC seal buys you
A ASIC-regulated kitchen has to keep client money in its own segregated pot, offer negative balance protection, and open its books to independent audits. If something goes wrong, you can take your complaint straight to ASIC.
What the ASIC seal puts on your plate
- Your money kept in a segregated pot, walled off from Axi's own capital
- Negative balance protection, so you can never lose more than you put on the table
- A direct line to ASIC for complaints if Axi will not put things right
- Regular independent audits of Axi's books under ASIC oversight
