Broker Summary
What Wikilix has recorded about Arta Mas Futures: its history, the licences it holds, its trading conditions and its fees.
Arta Mas Futures is the trading name of PT. Arta Mas Futures, a futures brokerage based in Jakarta, Indonesia. Its website presents the firm as a commodity, stock-index and foreign-exchange broker serving Indonesian clients, and dates the business to 2005. The registered office is given as Grand Slipi Tower Lt.19 unit 19-i, Jl. S Parman Kav 22-24 Palmerah, Jakarta Barat 11480.
Regulation. The website markets the firm as legally established and refers in general terms to licensed commodity trading in Indonesia, but it does not publish a licence number, a licensing authority, a licence certificate or any link to a supervisory register. WIKILIX found a claim that the firm once held an Indonesian retail forex permission numbered 601/BAPPEBTI/SI/I/2005, but that claim is not repeated anywhere on the broker's own site and could not be confirmed with the issuing authority in this review. Readers should treat the firm as an operator whose supervision is unverified.
Corporate identity. The operating entity is confirmed on an authoritative record: PT. ARTA MAS FUTURES is a perseroan terbatas formed in Indonesia, entity status active, registered as 02.393.338.5-063.000 in the Company Directory of the Ministry of Trade, at the same Grand Slipi Tower address the website gives. Its Legal Entity Identifier, 213800A4TIGRMX7W1U17, has not been renewed since 2019 and now shows a lapsed registration status. A company registration is not a trading licence and should not be read as one.
What is on offer. The site describes trading in foreign exchange, stock indices and commodities, segregated client accounts, educational material and analysis, and access to a trading platform from iPhone, iPad and Android. It publishes no account types, no minimum deposit, no leverage, no spread or commission schedule, no named trading platform, and no deposit or withdrawal methods. Nothing on the site allows a prospective client to open an account online; contact is by telephone, email or a short enquiry form.
Support and coverage. Support is offered on +6221 397 00180 and at support@artamasfutures.com and info@artamasfutures.com, Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 17:00 Jakarta time. The site is published in Indonesian only. The footer disclaimer states the firm cannot serve and does not accept clients resident in the United States, Iran or North Korea.
Who it suits, and the caveats. This is a domestically focused Indonesian futures brokerage with a thin, brochure-style web presence. It may suit an Indonesian-speaking client who is willing to conduct the whole onboarding offline and to obtain the commercial terms and the licence documentation directly from the firm in writing. It is not suitable for anyone who needs published trading conditions, verifiable regulation, an international support desk, or documented withdrawal terms before depositing.

What our check found
Indonesia’s statutory commodity futures regulator, part of the Ministry of Trade. This was a full futures broker business licence, and it was revoked in 2020. Client protection: None today. A live BAPPEBTI licence brings client fund segregation and a regulated complaints route, but the licence has been withdrawn, so none of that protection applies.. Effective: Jan 2005.
