AMarkets at a glance
Forex and CFD broker listed as a sponsor of the Forex Expo Dubai 2026. Details are still being independently verified by BrokerBazaar.
AMarkets reports a founding year of 2007 and a head office in Fomboni, Mohéli, Comoros. It lists 1 regulator and 5 trading platforms.
BrokerBazaar verdict
AMarkets is an established offshore-focused broker offering competitive ECN/Zero pricing, MT4 and MT5, a broad multi-asset range and trader-friendly features such as negative balance protection, Islamic accounts, hedging, scalping and algorithmic trading. However, its principal financial-market regulation is through MISA in Comoros, which provides materially less regulatory protection than major Tier-1 jurisdictions such as the UK, Australia or the EU. The broker should therefore be regarded as a higher-risk offshore broker despite its strong public customer-review profile.
Legal entities, regulation and licences
AMarkets operates through 3 legal entities, each supervised separately. Your account is with one specific entity, so the protections you receive depend on which one onboards you, not on the group's strongest licence. Overall, the group is supervised by no regulator we could map to a public register.
Licence check: Not independently checked. This broker has submitted its details. BrokerBazaar has not yet independently checked them. A company registration or general business licence is not permission to offer regulated brokerage services; only the register entries linked in the table count.
Countries accepted and restricted
AMarkets states that it accepts clients from International — subject to jurisdictional restrictions. Availability is decided per entity and can change without notice; residents of jurisdictions such as the USA, and often the EU and UK, are frequently excluded from offshore entities.
Known restrictions flagged in our review: - Not available to clients in several major jurisdictions.
