What Aurum Markets legally published, but does not want you to read

Every clause below is published by Aurum Markets itself, on its own website, today. The finding is not that the text exists. It is the distance between what a client is shown and what a client agreed to. Read from its own documents on .

Contracting entity: Aurum Markets Limited

Aurum Markets Limited says it is registered in Mauritius. Its client agreement then says every reference to the firm means Aurum Markets Capital Markets, a name that appears nowhere else. The same contract lets Aurum Markets void your trades and your profit on suspicion alone, and sets no deadline at all for paying a withdrawal. The homepage promises negative balance protection and zero withdrawal charges. The contract gives you neither.

What the documents say

17 clauses worth knowing about, worst first, each quoted from Aurum Markets's own files

01

Aurum Markets Limited says it is registered in Mauritius. Its client agreement then says every reference to the firm means Aurum Markets Capital Markets, a name that appears nowhere else on its site.

In plain words

On a principal basis, as your counterparty, means the broker takes the other side of your trade itself. Your loss is then the firm’s gain, so it has an interest in how your trade ends.

Why this matters

You cannot tell which company is holding your money. The name written into your contract matches no register and no other document, and the contract names no court to hear a claim against it.

Exhibit 1CriticalRarely seen

All references to Aurum Markets on the Website, in any document, or any communication from or on behalf of Aurum Markets to the Client are references to Aurum Markets Capital Markets and to no other person.
Clause 1.4 in Client Agreement

Our own capture of aurummarkets.com, taken on Sep 17, 2026The contract names a counterparty that exists nowhere else (clause 1.4)Visit this page on the broker's siteDownload the full size image file

Where it sits: section 77 of 202 in the Client Agreement, 38% of the way through.

Our readingA client agreement normally identifies its own counterparty and then sticks to that name. This one redirects every reference to a differently named company, and gives that company no address, no registration number and no country.

  • Worse together with Exhibit 9An unidentifiable counterparty and no governing law clause mean you would not know who to sue or where.
02

Aurum Markets does not have to prove anything. A suspicion of arbitrage, scalping, hedging or abuse is enough to void every trade and every profit you made.

Why this matters

Profit you have already earned can be taken back, and the contract sets no test you can meet and no appeal you can bring. The clause does not even name which company decides.

Exhibit 3CriticalHarder than usual

Any indication or suspicion, in the Company’s reasonable discretion, of any form of arbitrage carried out using an Expert Advisor will nullify any and all transactions carried out and/or profits generated therein.
Clause 4.5.4 in Client Agreement

Where it sits: section 96 of 202 in the Client Agreement, 48% of the way through.

  • Worse together with Exhibit 6Two separate contracts each allow profit to be voided on suspicion, one aimed at you and one aimed at whoever referred you.
03

The homepage offers negative balance protection, meaning you cannot lose more than you paid in. The contract says closing you out carries no obligation on Aurum Markets, and that you must repay any shortfall.

In plain words

Negative balance protection is a limit that stops you owing more than you put in. Without it, one fast market move can leave you owing the broker money on top of your deposit.

Why this matters

A fast market can push your account below zero. Aurum Markets can then demand that money from you, and the promise on its homepage does not bind it.

Exhibit 4CriticalHarder than usual

This is known as Margin Stop-Out and is intended (without any obligation or liability of Aurum Markets in this respect) to protect the Client from the risk of negative Balance.

Where it sits: section 109 of 202 in the Client Agreement, 54% of the way through.

Set against a regulated standard: FCA (UK), CySEC (Cyprus), ESMA (EU)

Firms licensed by the FCA or CySEC, and firms under ESMA rules, must give retail CFD clients negative balance protection, so a client can never owe more than the account holds. This contract says the stop out carries no obligation or liability, and separately requires the client to make good any negative balance.

Aurum Markets is not licensed by these regulators, so this is a comparison of practice, not a finding of any breach.

04

Nothing in the contract gives Aurum Markets a deadline to pay you. It can also refuse the payment route you chose and push you onto a different one.

Why this matters

Your money can sit unpaid for as long as Aurum Markets likes, and you have no date in the contract to point at. Nothing it does counts as late.

Exhibit 2CriticalHarder than usual

Aurum Markets may, at its discretion, deny the withdrawal of funds using the payment method chosen by the Client.
Clause 11.3 in Client Agreement

  • Worse together with Exhibit 10Aurum Markets can suspend the service without giving a reason while a withdrawal that has no deadline sits waiting.
05

The introducing broker agreement is written for partners, not for you. It still lets Aurum Markets cancel all orders and annul all profits in the client's account, on a suspicion about the partner who referred you.

Why this matters

Somebody else's conduct can cost you your profit. You never signed this document, and Aurum Markets does not put it in front of you when you open an account.

Our readingProfit voiding normally turns on what the client did. Here the trigger can be a suspicion about the introducer, a third party the client may never have dealt with, and the clause reaches into the client's own account.

The two promises on the homepage are not in the contract

Aurum Markets advertises negative balance protection and zero deposit and withdrawal charges on its homepage. Clause 18.3.1 requires you to make good a negative balance on demand, and clause 7.5 says the stop out carries no obligation. Clause 11.5 reserves a withdrawal fee. Both headline promises fail against the contract.

Homepage against contract1 clause flagged

The homepage promises zero deposit and withdrawal charges. The contract keeps the right to charge you for a withdrawal, to deduct a charge on a deposit, and to pass on bank fees you were never told about.

Why this matters

Money can come off both ends of your account. Aurum Markets does have to tell you a withdrawal fee before it moves the money, but nothing caps that fee or publishes it beforehand.

  • Worse together with Exhibit 11The charges the homepage denies are set in a fee schedule that is not published, so you cannot check either statement.

The document that sets your charges is not published

The Aurum Markets client agreement binds you to a Fees Schedule that we could not find published anywhere, and lets the firm change it on 2 business days of website notice. Clause 5.1 allows charges to be built into your price as a mark-up, under a homepage that sells 0.0 pip ECN spreads. Clause 23.1.2 passes on third party bank fees whether or not you were told.

Cost disclosure2 clauses flagged

Your charges live in a Fees Schedule that the contract treats as binding on you. We could not find it published anywhere, and Aurum Markets can change it on 2 business days of notice posted on its own website.

Why this matters

You agree to pay charges you cannot read before you sign. A new fee posted on a Monday can be coming out of your balance by Wednesday.

Exhibit 11WarningHarder than usual2 working days

Clause 1.1 (definition of Fees Schedule) in Client Agreement
Read from the broker's site on Open the reference

Where it sits: section 33 of 202 in the Client Agreement, near the start.

What it costsA fee posted on the website on a Monday can be charged from Wednesday, two business days later.

Set against a regulated standard: FCA (UK), CySEC (Cyprus)

Firms licensed by the FCA or CySEC must disclose costs and charges to a retail client before that client trades. This contract makes the schedule binding while leaving it unpublished.

Aurum Markets is not licensed by these regulators, so this is a comparison of practice, not a finding of any breach.

The homepage sells a true ECN account with spreads from 0.0 pips, which means raw market prices passed straight to you. The contract says charges may be built into the price you get as a mark-up or mark-down.

Why this matters

A cost built into your price never shows on your statement as a fee. You pay it on every trade and cannot add it up.

Transaction charges may be incorporated as a mark-up or mark-down depending on a variety of factors.

Service can stop with no notice and no reason given

Clause 17.2 lets Aurum Markets suspend all or part of its service at any time without being required to have or communicate any reason. Clause 7.4 lets it change your leverage whenever it likes, and clause 9.2 lets it reject an application without reasons. Its partner contract also excludes Mauritius, the country the same document gives as its own.

Losing access2 clauses flagged

Aurum Markets can suspend all or part of its service at any time, with no notice to you. The contract says it does not have to have a reason, or tell you one.

Why this matters

Your open positions and your access can stop while the market keeps moving. You are owed no explanation, so there is nothing for you to appeal against.

Exhibit 10WarningHarder than usual

Aurum Markets may at any time without notice to the Client suspend all or part of the Services if the Client breaches any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement or of any Document, or otherwise at any time at the sole discretion of Aurum Markets without Aurum Markets being required to have or communicate any reason.
Clause 17.2 in Client Agreement
Read from the broker's site on Open the reference

Buried at section 155 of 202 in the Client Agreement, 77% of the way through.

Aurum Markets Limited says it is registered in Mauritius. Its introducing broker agreement lists Mauritius among the countries it does not serve, and elsewhere offers service across the European Economic Area.

Why this matters

The site footer says the opposite about Europe, so neither list can be relied on. If you live in any of these places, get an answer in writing before you deposit.

Read from the broker's site on Open the reference

Complain in English, and their log decides the facts

Aurum Markets gives itself 30 business days on a complaint before you may escalate, then points you at a dispute scheme it never names, under a New Zealand statute. Clause 20.4 requires the complaint entirely in English. Clause 20.5 makes its own server log beat your evidence, and clause 20.7.4 rules out not understanding the contract as a ground.

If it goes wrong2 clauses flagged

Aurum Markets only reads a complaint written entirely in English. Its own server log beats any evidence you hold, and not understanding a term of the contract is ruled out as a ground for complaining at all.

Why this matters

Many of the people this broker markets to do not write English as a first language. If your platform showed one thing and their log says another, their log wins.

Exhibit 7WarningHarder than usual

Aurum Markets will not consider any complaint that contains excessive elaborations, insults or coarse language. The complaint must be communicated entirely in English.
Clause 20.4 in Client Agreement
Read from the broker's site on Open the reference

Buried at section 172 of 202 in the Client Agreement, 85% of the way through.

Aurum Markets gives itself 30 business days on your complaint before you may take it further. It then sends you to a dispute scheme it never names, under a New Zealand law.

Why this matters

That is roughly six weeks before anyone independent can look at your case. You are then pointed at a scheme you cannot identify, under the law of a country this company is not registered in.

Exhibit 8WarningHarder than usual30 working days

What it costs30 business days is about six calendar weeks before your complaint is allowed to leave Aurum Markets.

Set against a regulated standard: FCA (UK)

Firms licensed by the FCA must give retail clients access to a named, independent ombudsman service. This contract names no scheme at all, and points instead to a New Zealand statute.

Aurum Markets is not licensed by this regulator, so this is a comparison of practice, not a finding of any breach.

Three documents, three different companies, and no court named

Aurum Markets Limited says it is registered in Mauritius, number 195270GBC, with a second registration in Saint Lucia. Its client agreement says every reference to the firm means Aurum Markets Capital Markets and no other person. One partner contract still on the site belongs to Cabana Capitals Limited of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. No document fixes a governing law or names a court.

Who you contract with2 clauses flagged

The client agreement never says which country's law governs it, and never names a court. The only statutes it does name are New Zealand ones, while the company says it is registered in Mauritius.

Why this matters

If you need to take Aurum Markets to court, the contract does not tell you where. You would spend money arguing which country's law applies before anyone looked at your balance.

Exhibit 9WarningRarely seen

If the Client is a consumer (as defined in the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (CGA)) and is acquiring or holding itself out as engaging Aurum Markets’ services for a business purpose, the CGA will not apply.

Read from the broker's site on Open the reference

Buried at section 186 of 202 in the Client Agreement, 92% of the way through.

Our readingAlmost every client agreement fixes a governing law and a forum, because both sides want to know where a fight happens. This one leaves both blank while borrowing the consumer and dispute statutes of a country it is not registered in.

A file still served from aurummarkets.com is an introducing broker agreement for Cabana Capitals Limited, a company registered in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. It does not mention Aurum Markets once.

Why this matters

The paperwork you are asked to accept began as another company's. Details that were true for that firm, including its regulator, survived the change of name.

Exhibit 17NoticeRarely seen

Cabana Capitals is the official and duly authorized company and operates as CABANA CAPITALS with regards to online marketing, advertising and promotion of CABANA CAPITALS Products and Services.
Clause 1.2 in Cabana Capitals: Introducing Broker Agreement
Downloaded from the broker's site on Open the reference

Our readingBrokers commonly reuse template wording, and that alone says little. Serving the other firm's contract whole, still under that firm's name and registration number, is a different thing.

Interest earned on your deposit does not come back to you

Clause 10.3 of the Aurum Markets client agreement pays you no interest and makes you waive all rights to interest the firm earns on your deposit. Clause 7.2 does say those funds are held in trust in client accounts. The safety of funds page tells you the money is never used for company operations.

Your money at rest1 clause flagged

Aurum Markets pays you no interest on your balance. The contract also makes you give up any claim to the interest that Aurum Markets itself earns on the money you deposited.

Why this matters

Your deposit can earn a return that goes to the broker and never to you. The safety page tells you your funds are never used for company operations, which sits badly beside this clause.

Exhibit 16WarningStandard wording

The Client acknowledges that Aurum Markets will not pay any interest on any credit balance in an SFT Account and waives all rights to any interest earned by Aurum Markets on funds deposited with Aurum Markets.

Firms licensed by the FCA or CySEC must hold retail client money in segregated accounts and account to the client for it. This contract does say funds are held in trust, and separately has the client waive any interest earned on them.

Aurum Markets is not licensed by these regulators, so this is a comparison of practice, not a finding of any breach.

The only regulator named belongs to a different country

The Aurum Markets partner contract calls the firm regulated by the SVGFSA in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, while clause 1.1 of the same document puts it in Mauritius. The page headed Regulatory and Compliance carries risk warnings and names no regulator, no licence and no supervisor. For whether any licence exists, read the scam investigation instead.

Who supervises this1 clause flagged

The introducing broker agreement says Aurum Markets Ltd is regulated by the SVGFSA, the authority in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. Clause 1.1 of that same document says the company is registered in Mauritius.

Why this matters

No document on this site names a regulator that matches where the company says it is. Treat the word regulated here as unsupported until somebody shows you a licence number.

Our readingA document naming a regulator from a different country than its own incorporation clause is not a drafting habit. It is what happens when one firm's contract is renamed for another.

  • Worse together with Exhibit 17The regulator named here is the one that fitted the firm whose contract this text was copied from.

Six months makes an account inactive, with no stated result

The Aurum Markets client agreement defines an inactive trading account as one with no position, order or transaction for six months. Nothing else in the contract uses that definition. Any charge would sit in the fee schedule that is not published, so the cost of leaving an account idle cannot be checked.

Leaving it idle1 clause flagged

The contract defines an inactive trading account as one with no position, no order and no transaction for six months. It then never says what happens to such an account.

In plain words

Dormancy means an account left unused.

Why this matters

Any dormancy charge would come from the fee schedule that is not published. You cannot find out what leaving an account idle will cost you.

Who the contract is with

Aurum Markets Limited

Aurum Markets Limited is the name on the site footer and in clause 1.1 of the introducing broker agreement, which says it is registered in Mauritius as an International Broker Company, number 195270GBC. The footer adds a second registration in Saint Lucia, number 2024-00298. The client agreement disagrees with both: clause 1.4 says every reference to Aurum Markets means Aurum Markets Capital Markets and no other person, and that name appears in no other document on the site. The copy of the client agreement at /pdf/ carries a Saint Vincent and the Grenadines address in its page header. A retail client therefore contracts with a company the documents do not consistently identify, and no document names a regulator that matches any of these places.

Quotations are copied verbatim from the documents named above, with the clause number and the page each one came from. Where a clause is quoted in another language, the original is shown first and the English is a translation.

The plain-language parts, what a clause means for a client, how ordinary it is, and how it reads against a regulated standard, are WIKILIX's analysis and are labelled as such on every card. This is a reading of public documents, not legal advice and not an allegation of wrongdoing.

In fairness, and what we could not check

A reader who knows the edges of the work can trust the middle of it

Aurum Markets states plainly that it holds client money in trust in separate client accounts, which many offshore brokers leave unsaid. Where it charges a withdrawal fee, the contract obliges it to tell you the amount before the transfer. Either side can end the agreement on one month's notice, which is even handed. The contract carries no bonus lock, no turnover requirement and no volume target, so there is no promotional trap in it. The introducing broker agreement is long and specific rather than vague.

Aurum Markets publishes two copies of its client agreement at two addresses. Every clause quoted here comes from the copy at aurummarkets.com/pdf/CCL_Term_and_Conditions.pdf, and we checked the copy linked in the site footer carries the same clause numbers and the same wording. That footer copy cannot be searched or copied: its text comes out scrambled in any reader, so we read it from the rendered pages. We did not read the privacy policy, the terms and conditions page, the risk disclosure page or the cookie policy. The Fees Schedule, the Product Statement and the Website Use Agreement are named in the contract as part of your agreement, and we could not find any of them published. No independent earlier copy of these documents exists to compare against, so this is a first reading.

How to check any of this yourself

Every quote above links to the Aurum Markets file it came from. This is what to do with it.

Open the three stepsFind the words in the source, work out the fingerprint, and read what a difference does and does not prove.

Open the source and search for the words

Every quote has a link under it. Open the file, or the web page, and search it for the words we quote. The clause number next to the quote tells you where to look.

If the words are not there any more, the source may have changed after we read it. That is worth knowing too. We keep the date we read it, and a code worked out from its wording, so the quote stays checkable.

What a fingerprint is

A fingerprint is a code worked out from what a source says. Change one word and the code changes completely. We keep two codes for every file we read, and the panel on each source shows both.

The first is the code of the exact file we downloaded. The second is the code of its wording alone, with capital letters lowered and runs of spaces collapsed. When the same words are saved as a new file, the first code changes and the second one stays the same.

Only the first code can be worked out on your own computer. Save the file, then run one of these, putting the name of the file you saved where the example is. The panel on each source prints the command with that source's real file name already in it.

macOS or Linux:
  shasum -a 256 the-file-you-saved.pdf

Windows:
  certutil -hashfile the-file-you-saved.pdf SHA256

The two codes are different from each other, and they are not meant to match. Comparing one against the other proves nothing.

What a difference means, and what it does not

A different file code on its own proves nothing. A PDF saved again with a new date inside it is a new file saying exactly the same thing.

A different wording code means the words themselves changed. That is the one that matters, and it is why we keep it.

Even then, a change is not proof of bad faith. Companies update their documents. What this report says is what the document said on the day we read it, and every quote carries that date.

A source that is a web page and not a file has no file to save, so only the code of its wording is shown.

How this report is made

Every clause quoted above comes from a document Aurum Markets publishes on its own website, downloaded and hashed on the date shown, with the clause number and page recorded so any reader can check it. We do not allege anything the documents do not say, and we do not judge Aurum Markets on anything other than its own published terms and its own public marketing. Where a clause has a qualifier that softens it, the report says so. Last read Sep 17, 2026.

If you represent Aurum Markets and a clause has changed, been withdrawn, or is being read out of context, tell us and we will re-read the documents and update this page. Corrections from the broker are welcome and are published with the reading they change. Contact us.

This is a reading of a contract, not legal advice and not a ruling on Aurum Markets. Whether its licence is real and current is a separate check on the broker profile.
