Client protection notes

Regulation does not remove trading risk, but it does define conduct, identity and complaint-handling expectations.

Cash deposits with a member institution may be eligible for CDIC coverage, subject to its rules. Eligible securities held by a member investment dealer may be covered by CIPF, subject to its limits. Crypto and other digital assets are generally not covered by CDIC or CIPF. Australian clients may use AFCA where external dispute resolution applies after the internal complaint process.

Common questions

Short answers to the decisions most new clients want to understand first.

Do I need trading experience?

No professional trading experience is required. Westrelaine is designed for guided onboarding, but lack of experience does not remove the risk of losing money.

What happens after I register?

You access the platform flow and wait for an account manager to call, verify your details and explain the next steps.

Is the broker licensed and regulated?

Westrelaine aligns client handling with Canadian and Australian regulatory expectations. See Licensing and regulation for market-specific details.

How quickly can I withdraw funds?

Timing depends on the payment method and verification status. The deposit and withdrawal methods page lists typical processing windows.

Can I lose money when trading?

Yes. Trading and digital-asset exposure can lead to losses. Read the risk disclosure before depositing.
