Five questions

At a glance

  • Is it a bank?

    No. FTX is not a licensed bank. Confirm who the money sits with before you send salary there.

  • If it fails?

    None. Bankruptcy estate.

  • Salary?

    Not listed. An IBAN or sort code is not automatically a salary account.

  • Open from abroad?

    Residency and KYC are gated. An App Store listing is not proof you can onboard.

  • Monthly fee

  • Account number

    No IBAN-class local rail on this file.

/10 · Caution

Not a product. A warning label with a logo.

What it is

FTX collapsed in November 2022. Customer assets were commingled and stolen. This register keeps the tombstone so ‘FTX alternative’ pages have somewhere honest to land.

Best for: Why custody and proof-of-reserves talk exists.

Last checked 2026-08-01. Not advice.

Closed 2022-11

Fraud and bankruptcy. Customer assets commingled. Court-supervised recovery.

    Straight answers

    FAQ

    01

    Is FTX still a product?

    No. FTX collapsed in November 2022. Customer assets were commingled. This file is a tombstone so alternative pages have somewhere honest to land.

    02

    Was FTX deposit-protected?

    None. There is a bankruptcy estate, not a statutory deposit scheme and not proof-of-reserves after the fact.

    03

    What should I read instead of an FTX alternative round-up?

    Start with who holds the keys. A licensed bank, a named EMI, or self-custody — not another venue that cannot name the custodian.
