Finding

A Dutch investment firm licence (section 2:96 Wft) held by BUX B.V., covering receiving and transmitting orders, executing orders, custody and currency exchange, with passports to nine other EU countries. It covers the BUX app for shares and ETFs at bux.com. It is held by BUX B.V., not by BUX Financial Services Limited, and gives no permission to serve UK clients. BUX does not link it to the register; we found the entry ourselves. Client protection: Strong: EU investor-protection rules under AFM supervision; BUX says client assets are held in a separate custody foundation. Effective: 05 Nov 2018.

Most Popular Questions

WIKILIX cannot confirm any deposit or withdrawal method for BUX Markets. The payment methods listed for it, from bank transfers and cards to e-wallets and digital currencies, have no source on a current page of the broker, so their fees, limits and processing times should not be relied on.

WIKILIX cannot confirm a trading platform for BUX Markets. The MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 entries listed for it have no source on any page of the broker, and with buxmarkets.com offline there is no current platform page to check them against.

WIKILIX links BUX Markets to BUX Financial Services Limited, a United Kingdom company. The website linked to the brand, bux.com, is the site of BUX B.V. The Netherlands Chamber of Commerce (KVK) Handelsregister lists BUX B.V. under number 58403949 at Sarphatistraat 1, 1017 WS Amsterdam, and BUX's privacy notice describes it as a wholly owned subsidiary of ABN AMRO Bank N.V. The profile also lists four other Dutch BUX companies and foundations named in BUX's legal documents, but nothing on record establishes how BUX Financial Services Limited relates to them.

No. The BUX Markets website, buxmarkets.com, was no longer online in October 2026. The website linked to the brand, bux.com, is the site of BUX B.V., a Dutch company offering investing in shares and ETFs, and its home page does not mention BUX Markets.

BUX Markets has no working contact page, because its website, buxmarkets.com, was no longer online in October 2026. The profile lists a London phone number and two London addresses, none of which is confirmed on a current page of the broker.

The listed support email is on the domain buxasia.one, which is neither buxmarkets.com nor bux.com, and no page of the broker confirms it.

The maximum leverage on record for BUX Markets is 1:30. Like the other trading terms listed for the brand, it cannot be confirmed as a current offer, because the brand's own website, buxmarkets.com, was no longer online in October 2026.

The minimum deposit on record for BUX Markets is 100 USD. It cannot be confirmed as a current offer, because the brand's own website, buxmarkets.com, was no longer online in October 2026.

BUX Markets has no confirmed regulation of its own: BUX Financial Services Limited, the company linked to the brand, holds no known licence. The only licence linked to the brand belongs to BUX B.V., the Dutch company behind bux.com. It is an investment firm licence from the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM), effective 5 November 2018, which the AFM register listed as active on 23 October 2026. It covers BUX B.V.'s BUX app for shares and ETFs and gives no permission to serve clients in the United Kingdom.

With the brand's own website offline and none of its recorded trading terms confirmed as a current offer, the record gives no confirmed basis for judging BUX Markets safe.

BUX Markets holds this AFM licence. A licence on record means the authority published an entry; it is not an endorsement.
