July 2026 XM consistency note: XM details can vary by country and legal entity. Current official XM pages list 8 group licenses, 1,400+ global assets, MT5/WebTrader/app access, and public promotions such as Refer a Friend and monthly competitions; welcome/deposit bonus tiles must be verified inside the live XM Members Area because eligibility depends on country, entity, KYC status and account type.
June 2026 field note: Payment availability changes faster than account types. Confirm every method inside your live XM Members Area before transferring funds.
