In my experience as a forex trader, I always pay close attention to the trading platforms a broker offers, especially when evaluating options for automated strategies like Expert Advisors (EAs). IFIC Bank’s available platform is the IFIC Digital Banking App, which supports both Android and iOS devices. However, when I looked closely at the features and specifications, I found no mention or clear support for third-party platforms such as MetaTrader 4 or MetaTrader 5—these platforms are typically necessary for reliable EA functionality. This is a significant consideration for me, as the ability to implement and monitor automated trading strategies requires integration with established trading software that supports scripting and backtesting. Furthermore, it’s important to highlight that IFIC Bank is unregulated and has a very low regulatory score, indicating substantial risk. The platform appears focused on banking products, savings schemes, and income deposit accounts rather than specialized forex trading. For these reasons, I have not seen any evidence or indication that automated trading or EA deployment is possible on their digital app. For any trader who, like me, relies on automated strategies, this absence is a crucial limitation. I would be extremely cautious and would not assume compatibility with EAs unless there is clear, official confirmation—it could result in operational and risk management challenges.
