Which legal entity operates the service
Flint Fundthorn represents a commercial designation used by the organization responsible for managing this platform and its related trading interface.
The operating company is the entity you contract with when you accept our Terms of Use and open an account. Its full registered name, its legal form, its registered particulars and the identity of the group it belongs to are set out in the client agreement you receive at onboarding, and are supplied on request through the routes described in the "Requesting documentation" section below.
Because corporate structures, registered particulars and service arrangements can change, we deliberately do not restate them as fixed text on a marketing page. The client agreement and the documentation pack we send you are the authoritative source; where this page and those documents differ, the documents prevail.
Group companies and service providers
Certain functions - technology hosting, payment processing, market data, customer identification tools - are carried out by specialist third-party providers under written agreements. The categories of provider we use, and the way your personal data is handled by them, are described in our Privacy Policy. Provider details are not disclosed on this page.
The regulatory framework we work within
We outline here the nature of rules and standards that apply to the service, rather than referencing specific regulatory bodies or statute numbers, which are contained in our official legal texts.
- 01
Client identification
All accounts undergo mandatory verification prior to any deposit, trading activity or fund withdrawal, in accordance with the identity verification and financial crime prevention protocols outlined on our KYC & AML page.
- 02
Financial-crime prevention
Sanctions and risk screening, ongoing transaction monitoring, internal escalation procedures and record retention for the periods required by applicable law.
- 03
Handling of client money
Client balances are recorded separately from the operating funds of the business, and payouts are returned to a verified instrument in the client's own name.
- 04
Fair and clear communication
Costs, spreads and any applicable fees are published in your account and on our pricing page. We do not promise specific returns, and all promotional material carries a risk warning.
- 05
Data protection
All personal information is handled under a legitimate legal basis, retained for no longer than required, and safeguarded through role-based access restrictions and cryptographic protection during transmission and storage.
- 06
Complaints handling
A written internal complaints procedure with acknowledgement, investigation and a substantive reply within the timeframe stated when your complaint is logged.
Where a jurisdiction imposes stricter local requirements than those above, the stricter requirement applies to clients resident there.
Jurisdictions served and excluded
The service is offered only where we are permitted to offer it. Availability is assessed at registration on the basis of your country of residence, and it can change.
Where the service is offered
New accounts may be created by individuals residing in nations designated as permitted at the point of account registration. Should your nation be included in this approved list and you successfully complete the verification process, you may continue. Should it not appear on the list, access to the service is unavailable.
Where the service is not offered
- Nations and regions affected by relevant global trade restrictions or trade controls.
- Jurisdictions where offering this type of service to retail clients requires a local authorisation we do not hold.
- Jurisdictions identified as high risk for financial crime under applicable rules.
- Any region we have determined to restrict based on internal compliance or risk evaluation.
No solicitation
No content presented here is aimed at or made available for supply or consumption by any individual in a location where delivery or consumption would breach applicable regulations. Using this website from a restricted location does not grant permission to access the service. Should you relocate to a restricted location while maintaining an active account, you must notify us promptly - your account may be subject to limitations or termination and any funds will be reimbursed.
What Flint Fundthorn is not
Clarifying what falls outside our scope is equally vital as explaining our offerings.

How to request corporate and compliance documents

- The escalation path and mechanism for resolving complaints.
- Data-protection information relating to your own personal data.
How to make the request

Receive the pack
Requests are answered within the timeframe stated when your request is acknowledged. Some documents may be provided in extract form where they contain confidential internal detail.

Regulatory and compliance questions
Questions about our regulatory position, our compliance procedures, or a concern you would like escalated should go to the compliance route rather than to general support.
How do I raise a compliance question?
Send it through the contact page and use the subject line "Compliance". If applicable, supply the email linked to your account and provide a brief summary of your inquiry.
How do I make a formal complaint?
Use the same route and mark the message "Complaint". You will receive an acknowledgement, a reference and an indication of the timeframe for a substantive reply. If the outcome does not resolve the matter, the reply will explain the further escalation options available to you.
How do I report suspicious activity or misuse of our brand?
Use the report abuse page. Impersonation of Flint Fundthorn in messages, adverts or cloned sites should be reported there so we can act on it.
Are institutional or press enquiries handled here?
Absolutely - forward them via the inquiry portal using an informative subject line and they will be directed appropriately.
