Is FastOne a scam?

High risk (unverified)MEDIUM confidence
Updated August 6, 2026
Offshore-regulated broker, weak protection

FastOne is a genuinely licensed offshore broker, not a clone, but it carries real risk: its only oversight is a low tier Mauritius licence and its main website is no longer working.

  • FastOne Global Financial Markets Limited holds a real Mauritius FSC Investment Dealer licence (No. C113011860), confirmed on the regulator's own public register and active since 2013.
  • The earlier 'suspicious clone' label came from the licence record listing the domain of its Mauritius administrator (JurisTax). That is a normal setup, not proof of a clone.
  • The website in our records, fastoneglobalmarkets.com, was only registered in October 2024 and now sits parked and offline; the business runs on other domains such as f1globex.com.
  • A newer site, fastoneglobalmarkets.co, trades under a slightly different name ('FastOne Markets Limited') and shows no licence or company details at all.
  • We found no regulator warning and no withdrawal-fraud complaints, but the public track record is very thin.

Each area is scored 0 (clean) to 10 (worst). Higher means more risk.

Worst area: High
SeverityLowModerateHighCritical

Regulation

6/10 · High

Genuine Mauritius FSC Full Service Investment Dealer licence confirmed on the regulator's own register, but offshore and low tier with weak protection.

Identity & transparency

6/10 · High

The licensed entity is real, but the flagship domain is parked and different sites use different entity names, one with no licence disclosure.

Withdrawals & conduct

3/10 · Low

No withdrawal-refusal or fund-access complaints were found, though the public record is thin.

Reputation

4/10 · Moderate

Very thin footprint: only two generic five-star reviews and no substantive independent coverage.

Website claims

5/10 · Moderate

The FSC claim is true, but the firm overstates its scale and one live site solicits accounts with no company or licence details.

Operational history

3/10 · Low

Entity licensed since 2013, but the main domain is new and parked and the brand is fragmented across several sites.

Why we reached this verdict

How the evidence adds up.

We rate FastOne high risk but unverified, not a scam. Here is the reasoning.

  • The licence is real. We searched the Mauritius FSC public register and found FastOne Global Financial Markets Limited holding a full service Investment Dealer licence since 2013, with the company still recorded as incorporated.
  • That single licence is offshore and low tier. Mauritius gives far weaker protection than the UK, Australia or the EU, and there is no compensation scheme that would return your money if the firm failed.
  • The main website on record is dead. fastoneglobalmarkets.com was registered in October 2024 and now returns nothing. A business that leaves its flagship site parked is hard to trust and hard to reach.
  • Its identity is inconsistent across sites. One site names 'FastOne Global Financial Markets Limited' with the FSC licence; another, fastoneglobalmarkets.co, uses 'FastOne Markets Limited' and shows no licence or company information while still opening live accounts.
  • We could not confirm how it treats clients. There are almost no independent reviews, so we cannot verify that deposits and withdrawals work smoothly.

  • E1The Mauritius FSC Online Public Register lists FastOne Global Financial Markets Limited holding a SEC-2.1A Investment Dealer (Full Service Dealer including Underwriting) licence dated 13/06/2013, status 'COMPANY IS INCORPORATED', administered by JurisTax Ltd.

  • E2The register lists the management company JurisTax Ltd and the website juristax.com as the registered contact. This is the standard Mauritius global business setup and explains the third-party 'clone' flag as a false positive, not a different operator.

The other side

The strongest case in this broker’s favour.

In fairness to FastOne, several points weigh in its favour.

  • Its licence is genuine and can be checked on the regulator's own website, something many scam sites cannot manage.
  • The 'clone' tag is a false alarm. The licence record lists the website of JurisTax, the Mauritius firm that administers the company, which is completely normal for a Mauritius global business.
  • No regulator anywhere has issued a warning about FastOne or its domains as of August 2026.
  • We found no complaints about frozen accounts, blocked withdrawals or 'pay a fee to release your funds' demands.
  • The company genuinely dates back to 2013 and offers real trading software (MetaTrader 4 and 5).

What would change this

What we would need to see to revise the verdict.

Our view would improve or worsen with any of the following.

  • Better: the broker settling on one clearly identified website that shows the exact licensed entity name and links to the FSC register.
  • Better: independent, specific reviews showing real clients depositing and withdrawing without trouble.
  • Worse: a regulator (FSC Mauritius or any major authority) publishing a warning that names FastOne or one of its domains.
  • Worse: several detailed reports of blocked withdrawals or demands for extra 'fees' or 'taxes' before payout.
  • Worse: the FSC register showing the licence surrendered, suspended or cancelled.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about this broker’s safety.

12 questions
Is FastOne a scam?

No clear evidence says so. FastOne holds a genuine Mauritius FSC investment dealer licence and has no regulator warnings or withdrawal-fraud complaints. It is, however, high risk because its only oversight is a weak offshore regulator and its main website is offline.

Is FastOne regulated?

Yes, but only in Mauritius. FastOne Global Financial Markets Limited holds a Full Service Investment Dealer licence (No. C113011860) from the Financial Services Commission of Mauritius, active since 2013. Mauritius is a low tier, offshore regulator.

Is my money safe with FastOne?

Only partly. A Mauritius licence provides limited supervision and no strong investor compensation scheme, so if the firm failed there is no guarantee you would get your money back. Treat any deposit as money you can afford to lose.

Can I withdraw my money from FastOne?

We found no reports of blocked withdrawals, but we also found very few reviews of any kind. Because the record is thin, test a small withdrawal before depositing larger sums.

Is FastOne a clone firm?

We do not think so. The 'clone' idea came from the FSC record listing the website of JurisTax, the Mauritius firm that administers the company. That is a standard arrangement for Mauritius companies, not a sign of a fake.

Who owns FastOne and where is it based?

The licensed entity is FastOne Global Financial Markets Limited, registered in Mauritius at the offices of its administrator, JurisTax Ltd, in Ebene. Its sites market to Europe, the Middle East and South East Asia.

How old is FastOne?

The Mauritius company has held its FSC licence since June 2013. The firm also claims older roots in the Dubai Gold Exchange. Note that its current .com website was only registered in October 2024.

Why is the fastoneglobalmarkets.com website not working?

The domain in our records was registered in October 2024 and now appears parked and offline. The live business currently runs on other domains such as f1globex.com and fastoneglobalmarkets.co.

What is a Mauritius FSC licence worth?

It is a real licence, but from a low tier offshore regulator. It means far less protection than a licence from the UK FCA, Australia's ASIC or an EU authority, and there is no meaningful compensation fund.

Why does FastOne use more than one website and name?

One site uses 'FastOne Global Financial Markets Limited' with the FSC licence, while fastoneglobalmarkets.co uses 'FastOne Markets Limited' and shows no licence details. This inconsistency is a transparency concern; deal only with the site that clearly shows the licensed entity.

What should I check before depositing with FastOne?

Confirm the licence yourself on the FSC Mauritius register, check that the site shows the exact entity 'FastOne Global Financial Markets Limited' and licence No. C113011860, read the withdrawal terms, and start with a small test deposit and withdrawal.

What do I do if I was scammed by a broker like this?

Stop sending money, gather all records of deposits and messages, and complain to the Financial Services Commission of Mauritius. Never pay an upfront fee to a 'recovery' service, as those are usually a second scam.

What we recommend

The practical takeaway from everything above.

Our advice

If you are considering FastOne, treat it with caution.

  • Understand that a Mauritius FSC licence gives limited protection and no guaranteed compensation if the firm fails.
  • Only use the site that clearly shows the licensed entity 'FastOne Global Financial Markets Limited' and licence No. C113011860, and avoid any FastOne page that hides its company and licence details.
  • Start with the smallest possible amount and test a full withdrawal before committing more.
  • Keep records of every deposit, chat and email in case you need to complain to the FSC.
  • If you are ever promised guaranteed profits or asked to pay a fee to withdraw, stop and treat it as a scam.
