Can I fund with a personal check or business check?

How is my money protected?
We understand that the safety of their funds is of utmost importance to all our clients, so we make funds security a top priority.
Please note that in accordance with CIMA regulation in Cayman, FOREX.com strictly adheres to CIMA client money rules requiring that all client funds be segregated and separately accounted for to protect our client’s assets. As such, FOREX.com has trust letters in place with all depositories that hold client assets and we perform a daily client segregated funds calculation to ensure all client assets are adequately segregated.
In the unlikely event of a default, all client assets would be protected, and the segregated clients would have creditor priority over any and all claims. In addition, FOREX.com maintains significant excess capital in excess of regulatory requirements, actively reviews and monitors counterparty risk and is governed by a risk committee comprised of Senior Management members.
What is third-party funding?
A third party is considered to be anyone who is not an owner of the account.

Can I use more than one card to fund my account?
