Credit Financier Invest, launched in 2009, is something quite different from the typical Forex broker. It is a high-end subsidiary of a Lebanese Bank, in a jurisdiction famous for its banking services, known formerly as the “Switzerland of the Middle East”. The Credit Financier group has been in existence for decades, and is regulated by the Bank of Lebanon. This is a broker with a high though non-traditional regulatory reputation. However, it should be noted right away that with a minimum deposit requirement of $5,000, opening an account with Credit Financier Invest will not be an option for every trader.
