Upcoming change: Migrating from "costarica" landing company to "svg"

MRHMRH
edited October 2019 in General

Following a recent decision by the Board, we are announcing for all of our non-EU clients to be transferred from our Costa Rica company, Binary (C.R.) S.A to our newly established St. Vincent & the Grenadines company, Binary (SVG) Ltd. Consequently, we will also be changing any short-code references from costarica to svg.

Update 1 (22 April 2019): Important: Please check comments for scheduled changes.

Detailed information regarding this change:

  1. The landing company information for costarica that used to be:

      shortcode: "costarica"
  name     : "Binary (C.R.) S.A."
  country  : "Costa Rica"

    will change to the following for svg (all other fields remain unchanged):

      shortcode: "svg"
  name     : "Binary (SVG) Ltd."
  country  : "Saint Vincent and the Grenadines"
  1. Broker code: CR will remain unchanged. Hence the loginids won't change.

  1. Responses: All structures remain the same; this is only about changes in values. Any API method that returns the landing company will return svg instead of costarica.

    Examples:

    The sample responses below are truncated to display the changed fields only.
