Finding

A securities dealer licence held by First Prudential Markets Limited. The FSA's register carries the entity with the trade name FP Markets, an Eden Island address, a compliance email on the broker's own domain and www.fpmarkets.com/sc as its website. The register does not print licence numbers, so the number SD130 comes from the broker's own disclosure. Client protection: Weak. Seychelles supervision is light, with no compensation scheme and no ombudsman, so a client under this entity has little practical recourse.

FSA is classed as an offshore regime. An offshore registration can be entirely legitimate, but it typically means lower capital requirements, no compensation scheme, and a complaint route that is harder to use from abroad.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answered from this register entry and the authority’s own record.

Most Popular Questions

Card and e-wallet transfers are typically instant, while bank transfers may take several days. The broker does not charge for processing bank wire withdrawals, but it warns that a fee may be incurred where the deposited funds were not used for trading. Its published answer on withdrawal fees for the other methods is incomplete, so no withdrawal fee can be given for cards or e-wallets.

Five methods are published: Visa and Mastercard cards, bank transfer, Skrill, Neteller and PayPal. The broker charges no deposit fees. Withdrawals must be returned by the method used to deposit, starting with card deposits before any other method, and they go only to an account in the client's own name.

Cost depends on the account: Standard is commission free except on MetaTrader 5 and cTrader equities, and Raw charges US$3 or the equivalent per side, per lot. No spread figures are available for either account, so check the spread on the broker's own pricing pages. Deposits are free, and the broker does not charge for processing bank wire withdrawals.

Two: Standard and Raw. The Standard account charges no commission, apart from MetaTrader 5 and cTrader equities, while the Raw account charges US$3 or the equivalent per side, per lot. Both cap retail leverage at 1:30 and neither carries a minimum deposit of its own.

Retail clients on both of the European account types are capped at 1:30. A higher ceiling of 1:500 is recorded against the group's headline terms, so the cap that applies depends on which company in the group holds the account.

FP Markets is a brand used by several companies rather than a single one. They include First Prudential Markets Ltd in Cyprus, registration number HE372179, which is behind the European site; First Prudential Markets Pty Ltd in Australia, registration number 112600281, which holds the Australian licence; First Prudential Markets Limited in New Zealand, registration number 6611613; and First Prudential Markets (Global) Ltd. A company registration is not a trading licence.

FP Markets offers customer support via live chat during business hours and email support at supportdesk@fpmarkets.eu. They also provide multiple phone contact numbers and maintain social media channels for additional communication. Support is available in English.

FP Markets offers forex and contracts for difference, and its own site describes trading across seven asset classes. No exact instrument counts are given for forex pairs, shares, indices or cryptocurrencies, so check the broker's own instrument pages before opening an account.

None is fixed. The European site of First Prudential Markets Ltd states that neither the Standard nor the Raw account has a minimum deposit, and that the minimum amount depends on the payment method. Funding is accepted by Visa and Mastercard cards, bank transfer, Skrill, Neteller and PayPal, and the broker states that it charges no deposit fees. Group companies outside the European Union publish their own terms.

FP Markets offers three platforms: MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5 and cTrader. Each runs on Windows, macOS, iOS and Android and in the browser. MetaTrader 5 adds depth of market, 21 timeframes and eight order types over MetaTrader 4, and cTrader carries Level II pricing and cTrader Automate.

FP Markets is regulated through several companies, each in its own jurisdiction:

  • Australia: First Prudential Markets Pty Ltd holds Australian Financial Services Licence 286354, confirmed on the ASIC register.
  • European Union: First Prudential Markets Ltd holds Cyprus Investment Firm licence 371/18, confirmed on the CySEC register.
  • South Africa: FP Markets (Pty) Ltd is an authorised financial services provider, FSP 50926, on the FSCA register.
  • Kenya: FP Markets Limited holds licence 193 from the Capital Markets Authority as a non-dealing online forex broker. The broker's own group page gives the number as 103.
  • Seychelles: the FSA's securities dealer register lists First Prudential Markets Limited with the trade name FP Markets. The register gives no licence numbers, so the number SD130 is the broker's own.

Each licence covers only the company that holds it. Which company holds an account decides the regulator, the leverage cap and the complaints route, so that is worth establishing before funding one. Regulation is a meaningful protection but not a guarantee about conduct or service.

Licence SD130 was issued by The Seychelles Financial Services Authority (FSA), the financial authority for Seychelles.
FP Markets holds this FSA licence. A licence on record means the authority published an entry; it is not an endorsement.
We located this entry on the FSA register. Note that confirming a register ENTRY is not the same as confirming a live licence — the register’s own wording on this page is what states its current standing.
The FSA register prints it under First Prudential Markets Limited, not FP Markets. Licences are often held by a subsidiary rather than the trading brand, which is why searching a register for the brand alone can return nothing.
Wikilix rates FSA tier 3. Supervision is lighter-touch and client protections vary.
Yes, FSA is classed as an offshore regime. That can be a legitimate registration, but it usually means lower capital requirements, no compensation scheme, and a complaint route that is harder to use from abroad.
This page links straight to the FSA register. Search it for SD130, and for the name First Prudential Markets Limited rather than the trading brand.
