It holds no valid licence, and its company registration is verified.
We checked APME FX on 2026-10-19 across its regulation, company record, client terms, trading offer and service, and could verify 56% of its record. It holds no valid licence: every licence we knew of has ended or could not be found on its register. The score of 38 is what the checked record adds up to; nothing held it down. Only 56% of the record could be verified, under the 65% a full rating needs, so the score is marked as limited data. What would move the score: verified age, transparency, policy risk. No investigation has been published yet, so complaints and reputation are unknown. Its client terms have not been reviewed yet.

APME FX Broker Overview
APME FX is the retail trading brand of APME FX Trading Europe Ltd, a Cyprus Investment Firm based in Limassol and incorporated in Cyprus on 22 September 2015 under company number HE 347219. The firm holds CIF licence number 335/17 from the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission and offers contracts for difference on a single platform, MetaTrader 5. Its services are restricted to the European Union, and the same company also operates under the OZIOS brand.
APME FX Regulation and License
APME FX Trading Europe Ltd is authorised by the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) as a Cyprus Investment Firm under CIF licence number 335/17, granted under the Investment Services and Activities and Regulated Markets Law of 2017 L.87(I)/2017. The company's own sets out the permissions in detail: reception and transmission of orders, execution of orders on behalf of clients, portfolio management and investment advice, together with ancillary services including safekeeping, the granting of credit to investors and connected foreign exchange services. Dealing on own account is not among the authorised investment services, which is consistent with an agency rather than a market making model.
Is APME FX Regulated?
Yes. The CySEC authorisation is a real, onshore European licence and it is in force under the name APME FX Trading Europe Ltd. It was not, however, checked against the regulator's own public register during this research, so the licence should be treated as documented rather than independently reconfirmed. CySEC supervision brings MiFID conduct rules, segregation of client money and access to the Cyprus Investor Compensation Fund, and it covers only clients the firm may lawfully serve within the EU.
APME FX Trading Europe Ltd
The legal entity behind the brand is named consistently on every page of the site, in the client agreement and on the licence itself. Its registration was confirmed on the Cyprus Department of Registrar of Companies and Intellectual Property, which records the company as a registered private company with the same Limassol registered office the website publishes. The company registration is separate from, and additional to, the CySEC authorisation described above.
Is APME FX Safe?
APME FX carries the structural protections that come with an EU licence, but a prospective client is asked to accept a great deal on trust about the trading service itself. The client agreement commits the firm to hold client money in segregated accounts, not to use it in its own business, and confirms membership of the Investor Compensation Fund. Against that, the site publishes no spreads, no commission schedule, no minimum deposit, no leverage figure and no account comparison, so the cost and terms of trading cannot be assessed before an account is opened. The company also states in its risk warning that 77.44 percent of retail investor accounts lose money trading CFDs with it.
APME FX Spreads, Commissions and Fees
No pricing is published. The client documentation states that contract specifications, including spread, swaps, lot size and margin, are set by the company from time to time and are available on the trading platform. Two specific charges are disclosed: third party payment and transfer costs are passed on to the client, and a research fee of up to 200 USD may be levied if a chargeback is raised against a card deposit.
APME FX Trading Platforms
MetaTrader 5 is the only platform offered. The company distributes a branded Windows terminal from its and points clients to the standard MetaTrader 5 apps for iOS and Android. MetaTrader 4 is not offered.
APME FX Deposits and Withdrawals
Funding runs through bank transfer and payment card. Deposits are credited within one business day of clearing, and a withdrawal is processed no later than the business day after a signed withdrawal form is received, subject to identity and margin checks. Money is returned only to an account in the client's own name that it originally came from, and third party or anonymous payments are refused. Account currencies are the euro and the US dollar. No fee schedule, minimum or maximum amount is published for either direction.
APME FX Support
Support is by telephone and email only, from the Limassol office: +357 25 054 734 for general enquiries and +357 25 054 739 for telephone order placement, with enquiries to info@apmefx.com. There is no live chat, no help centre and no published support hours, and the site is available in English only.
APME FX Pros and Cons
Authorised as a Cyprus Investment Firm under CySEC licence 335/17, with segregated client money and Investor Compensation Fund membership.
A single, consistently named legal entity confirmed on the Cyprus companies registry at the same address the site publishes.
Almost no commercial disclosure: spreads, commissions, minimum deposit, leverage and account tiers are all absent from the site.
One platform only, with no MetaTrader 4 and no proprietary or web terminal.
Support is limited to a phone number and an email address, with no chat and no stated hours.
APME FX Review and Assessment
APME FX is a genuine, licensed European broker rather than an offshore shell, and the corporate and regulatory facts behind it line up cleanly. What it does not do is compete on transparency. A prospective client cannot learn what trading will cost, how much is needed to start or what leverage applies without contacting the firm, and the single MetaTrader 5 offering is narrow beside most EU competitors. The most important step before funding an account is to obtain the account terms and the fee schedule in writing and to confirm which entity and jurisdiction the account will sit under.

These are the rules CySEC sets for the firms it licenses. They are not a statement about how APME FX applies them, or about which of its companies would hold your account.
A licence record describes what an authority published. It is not an endorsement, and Wikilix does not issue authorisations.
1Belgium is named directly in the territoriality statement carried in the footer of every page of https://www.apmefx.com/, which states that the company does not provide CFD trading for clients who are residents of Belgium.
2The same statement says the company does not provide services outside the EU. That is a category rather than a list of named jurisdictions, so no individual country codes were derived from it; the restriction is recorded here in the company's own wording instead.
3The client agreement at https://www.apmefx.com/en/documents/Client_Agreement and the terms of business at https://www.apmefx.com/en/documents/Terms_of_Business were read in full and name no restricted or prohibited jurisdiction.
4No dedicated restricted or accepted countries page is published anywhere on the site, and no help centre or FAQ exists on it.
5No registration or open live account form is published on the site, so there is no onboarding country selector to read; nothing was written to the whitelist on that basis.

Company registry check
Checked
Company Registration
The operating company is APME FX TRADING EUROPE LTD. Registered in Cyprus. Registration number HE 347219.
Yes. The company's own terms of business define its websites as ozios.com, oziotrader.com and apmefx.com, and the OZIOS site identifies itself as a trademark of APME FX Trading Europe Ltd operating under the same CIF licence 335/17. Of those, ozios.com is live and oziotrader.com does not currently resolve.
The company publishes a complaints procedure for clients as part of its legal documentation, which is the first route. Because it is a CySEC regulated Cyprus Investment Firm, an unresolved complaint can then be taken to the Cyprus Financial Ombudsman, and clients may be eligible for the Investor Compensation Fund if the firm cannot meet its obligations.
By telephone on +357 25 054 734 for general enquiries or +357 25 054 739 for telephone order placement, or by email to info@apmefx.com. The office address is Lophitis Business Center, Office 404, 4th Floor, 28 October Ave 249, Limassol 3035, Cyprus. There is no live chat and no published support hours.
Contracts for difference across currency pairs, metals, equity indices, shares, commodities, exchange traded funds and cryptocurrencies, judging by the key information documents the company publishes for each of those categories. Exact instrument counts are not disclosed, and the client agreement notes the company offers only those instruments it markets on its website rather than everything its licence permits.
Yes, in principle. A swap free client account is defined as an available account type in the company's terms of business. No eligibility conditions, fee or alternative charge for it are published on the site, so the details would need to be requested.
Only clients within the European Union, and not residents of Belgium. The territoriality statement in the footer of every page states that the company does not provide services outside the EU and does not provide CFD trading to Belgian residents. No further country list is published, and the site carries no registration form whose country selector could be checked.
Yes, to the extent CySEC rules require. The client agreement commits the company to place client money in segregated accounts with credit institutions, to keep it apart from its own funds and not to use it in its own business, and confirms that it is a member of the Investor Compensation Fund. It also discloses that client money may be held outside Cyprus or the EEA and in omnibus accounts, where the protections can differ.
The company undertakes to process a withdrawal no later than the business day after it receives a properly completed and signed withdrawal form. That is its own processing time and does not include however long the receiving bank or card issuer then takes. It also reserves the right to decline a request for a specific transfer method and suggest an alternative.
Funding is by bank transfer or payment card. The company states that deposits are credited within one business day of clearing and that a withdrawal is processed no later than the business day after a signed withdrawal form is received, subject to identity checks and sufficient margin. Money is returned only to an account in your own name that it originally came from, and third party or anonymous payments are refused.
MetaTrader 5, and only MetaTrader 5. The company offers a branded Windows terminal downloadable from its and directs clients to the standard MetaTrader 5 apps for iOS and Android. MetaTrader 4 is not available.
The company publishes no spread or commission schedule. Its client documentation states that contract specifications, including spread, swaps, lot size and margin, are set by the company from time to time and are shown on the trading platform. Two charges are disclosed in writing: third party payment and transfer costs are passed to the client, and a research fee of up to 200 USD may apply if a chargeback is raised against a card deposit.
No maximum leverage is published. The client agreement explains how leverage works and uses 1:100 only as an illustrative example of the ratio, which is not a statement of the limit applied to a client account. Anyone considering an account should ask for the applicable leverage in writing.
The site does not publish a minimum deposit. Neither the website nor its client agreement or terms of business states an opening figure, so the amount has to be obtained from the company directly before an account is funded. Account currencies are stated to be the euro and the US dollar.
Nothing found in this research supports that description. The company behind the brand exists, is named consistently across the site and its legal documents, holds a real onshore European licence and sits at the address the registry records for it. The main criticism is transparency rather than legitimacy: the site publishes almost none of its commercial terms.
APME FX is operated by APME FX Trading Europe Ltd, a private limited company registered in Cyprus under number HE 347219 since 22 September 2015.
