Frequently Asked Questions
1Is City Index available in China?
City Index accepts clients from China, but not without limits. Separately, China restricts moving money abroad for investment — City Index may accept you while your own bank or regulator limits funding and withdrawals.
2Can I fund a City Index account from China?
Not freely. China restricts moving money abroad for investment, so the constraint sits with your own bank and regulator rather than with City Index. Opening an account and being able to deposit and withdraw normally are different questions here — check what approvals your bank requires before committing.
3What are the best alternatives to City Index for China traders?
Brokers we recommend in China include ForTrade, FxPro, Plus500. All are verified to accept clients from China and are regulated by reputable authorities.
4Can I use a VPN to access City Index from China?
Using a VPN to circumvent geo-restrictions violates City Index's terms of service and can result in account closure or frozen funds. It also leaves you without regulatory protection. We strongly recommend using a broker that is properly licensed to serve your country.
5Which brokers accept clients from China?
129 out of 341 brokers in the BrokerRank database accept clients from China. Recommended options include ForTrade, FxPro, Plus500. You can see the full list on our China brokers page.
