What protections do wholesale clients lose?
If you become a wholesale client, you will not receive any protections afforded to retail clients under Chapter 7 of the Corporations Act. This includes but is not limited to, retail negative balance protection, being issued a Product Disclosure Statement or a Financial Services Guide and AFCA having discretion to exclude your complaint as a Wholesale client. Eightcap may, at its sole discretion, afford some protections to Wholesale clients on a case-by-case basis.
