Connect Financials has one licence on record with Wikilix, issued by one authority across one jurisdiction. None was issued by a tier-1 or tier-2 authority. We located 1 of 1 on the issuing authority’s own register.
One licence comes from an authority classed as offshore. An offshore regime can be a legitimate registration, but it typically carries lower capital requirements and no compensation scheme.

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions about the licences held by Connect Financials
Answered from the register entries on this page.
Most Popular Questions
The site asserts segregated client accounts, negative balance protection and FSCS protection. FSCS is the United Kingdom's compensation scheme and would not cover a Seychelles or Comoros entity, so that claim is unsupportable as published. No custodian bank, audit or insurance document is provided for the segregation claim either.
WIKILIX has not established fraud, and there is no confirmed pattern of withdrawal denial on the record. What we did establish is that the broker cannot support its own regulatory claims, contradicts itself on regulator, licence number, head office, client numbers and instrument count, and publishes no verifiable company registration. That is a high-risk, unverified profile rather than a proven scam, and it is not a profile that justifies trusting the firm with money you cannot afford to lose.
The About page claims the brand has operated since 2015 and cites more than ten years of service. WIKILIX found nothing that corroborates that, and the operating footprint we could observe is far shorter. Treat the 2015 founding claim as unverified.
By live chat on the website, which the broker describes as available 24 hours a day, five days a week, by email at info@connectfinancials.com or support@connectfinancials.com, or by telephone on +357 22250435. Public English and Arabic channels are also maintained on WhatsApp, Telegram, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn.
The site states that Connect Financials Ltd does not offer contracts for difference to residents of certain jurisdictions including the USA, Iran, Turkey and Canada. No other restrictions are published.
Yes, swap-free trading is advertised on the Raw account tier, described as including Islamic support and religious compliance. No documentation of the swap-free terms or any administration fee is published.
The broker does not state a withdrawal processing time. Its payment page covers deposits only. With no confirmed regulator, there is also no external complaints or compensation route if a withdrawal is delayed or refused.
Five channels are listed: Visa, Mastercard, the Whish Payment wallet, USDT on TRC20 or ERC20, and bank transfer. Card and wallet deposits are described as instant and free of charge, USDT as one to ten minutes with network fees, and bank transfer as one to three business days with possible bank charges. Withdrawal fees, limits and processing times are not published at all, which is a material gap given the regulatory position.
The Raw account advertises spreads from 0.5 pips on a commission-based model, while the Standard and Plus accounts advertise spreads from 1 pip with, respectively, medium and low commissions. The homepage separately advertises spreads from 0.01 pips and a commission-free structure, which contradicts the account table. No per-lot commission figure and no swap schedule are published anywhere on the site.
The Tradable Assets page advertises around 200 instruments: 65 or more forex pairs, 25 or more commodities, 15 or more indices and 20 or more cryptocurrencies. Note that the About page separately claims access to more than 5,000 instruments, which the asset breakdown does not support.
MetaTrader 5 only. The site links the MetaQuotes Google Play and App Store listings for the mobile app but publishes no server names, no desktop installer and no web terminal link of its own, so a prospective client cannot confirm the platform connection before opening an account.
A maximum of 1:100, applied uniformly across the Standard, Raw, Plus and demo accounts.
100 USD on all three live account tiers, Standard, Raw and Plus. The demo account requires no deposit and is funded with 10,000 USD of virtual money.
The site names Connect Financials Ltd as the operating company, described on the About page as registered in Seychelles at 302, House of Francis, Ile du Port, English River, Mahe. No company registration number is published, no directors or beneficial owners are named, and the company could not be located on a public official registry. A search of the Cyprus companies register returned no company of this name, and no Legal Entity Identifier exists for it.
Connect Financials has one licence record with Wikilix, issued by one authority across one jurisdiction. A licence on record means an authority published an entry; it is not an endorsement, and Wikilix does not issue authorisations.
Connect Financials holds licence records issued by FSA. Each authority’s own record — its tier, jurisdiction and client-protection rules — is linked from this page.
None of the licence records held by Connect Financials comes from a tier-1 or tier-2 authority.
We located 1 of the 1 licence records held by Connect Financials on the issuing authority’s own register. Every entry has been looked up. An unchecked entry is a gap in our coverage, not a finding against the licence.
Connect Financials has licence records in Seychelles. A licence applies in the jurisdiction that issued it; it does not by itself cover clients elsewhere.
