STAGE FIVE

From my own digging into STAGE FIVE, they are listed under the National Futures Association (NFA) in the United States with license number 0444666. But the important part is that their status is marked as “Unverified”. For me, that means the registration exists in name but hasn’t been fully confirmed, so I wouldn’t take it as guaranteed protection.

They use their partnered FCMs to handle money transfers, and those typically allow domestic wire, international wire, and ACH for U.S. clients. I personally would confirm the options during account setup.

The biggest drawback for me is their Unverified regulatory status with the NFA. On top of that, they don’t publish their fees, which makes cost comparison harder, and their contact options are quite limited for a U.S.-based broker.

They don’t actually publish a fixed minimum deposit on their website. I’d need to talk to the FCM they assign me to (like Dorman or StoneX) to know the exact requirement for my account type.
