What HANTEC FINANCIAL legally published, but does not want you to read

Wikilix contract reading ·

High contract risk

Hantec's website promises fully segregated client funds in English, Vietnamese and Chinese. Its binding English contract says Hantec holds your deposit as its own money and you are only its creditor. The Chinese version of the same document says the opposite. If Hantec believes you misled it, it can drop its obligations to you, and deposits you barely trade cost 5%.

Broker Summary

What Wikilix has recorded about HANTEC FINANCIAL: its history, the licences it holds, its trading conditions and its fees.

Hantec Financial Broker Overview

Hantec Financial is the trading brand of the Hantec Group, which says it has served investors for over 35 years. The brand is shared by several group companies: the global site, www.hantec.com, contracts with clients through Hantec Markets (V) Company Limited in Vanuatu, Australian residents are served by Hantec Markets (Australia) Pty Limited, the Hong Kong precious-metals service is run by Hantec Bullion Limited, and Hantec (Seychelles) Services Limited runs www.hantec-sc.com. Each of these companies' licences or memberships was confirmed on the issuing body's register on 21 October 2026, and the licence behind the global offer is an offshore one from Vanuatu. Global clients trade forex, precious metals and CFDs on MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5 and the Hantec Trading App, through four account types with minimum deposits from 100 USD and leverage of up to 1:1000.

Hantec Financial Regulation and License

The broker's website names four companies behind the Hantec Financial brand. Each licence or membership below was confirmed on the issuing body's own register or member records on 21 October 2026:

  • Hantec Markets (V) Company Limited: financial dealers licence 40318 from the Vanuatu Financial Services Commission (VFSC), active for classes A, B and C and in effect since 21 November 2022. This is the company that global clients contract with.
  • Hantec Markets (Australia) Pty Limited (ACN 129 943 086): Australian Financial Services Licence 326907 from the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), status Current, held since 27 August 2008. It covers general advice and dealing in derivatives, foreign exchange contracts and non-cash payment products, and making a market in derivatives and foreign exchange contracts, for retail and wholesale clients. The ASIC register names www.hantecmarkets.com as the licensee's website.
  • Hantec (Seychelles) Services Limited: listed as a licensed securities dealer on the register of the Financial Services Authority Seychelles (FSA), which shows no licence numbers. www.hantec.com gives the number as SD164, while the Seychelles company's own site, www.hantec-sc.com, gives SDR225.
  • Hantec Bullion Limited: member no. 163 of the Hong Kong Gold Exchange, shown as an active member with operation status AA on the exchange's own records. This is exchange membership for gold and silver trading in Hong Kong, not supervision by a statutory securities regulator, and it does not extend to forex or CFDs.

Hantec Markets (V) Company Limited is also on the VFSC's register of international companies as company 40318, incorporated on 29 May 2017, with its registered office in the Govant Building, Kumul Highway, Port Vila (checked 21 October 2026). Its terms and conditions, financial services guide and product information statement (version 2.1, 20 May 2024) govern global accounts under Vanuatu law.

Is Hantec Financial Regulated?

Yes, but by a different authority for each group company, so the rules that apply depend on which company holds the account. A client of the global site deals with Hantec Markets (V) Company Limited under its VFSC licence, an offshore licence with light supervision, while the ASIC licence covers only the Australian company's clients, who are served through au.hantec.com and www.hantecmarkets.com. In Hong Kong the brand's service is provided by Hantec Bullion Limited under its gold exchange membership, which covers gold and silver only.

Is Hantec Financial Safe?

The confirmed licences show who supervises each Hantec company, but for global clients the bigger question is how client money is held, and the Vanuatu company's own documents give two different answers. Clause 10.1 of its English terms and conditions says client money is held on the company's own account rather than in trust, may be pooled with other clients' money and leaves the client a creditor of the company, and clause 10.3 lets the company use it to meet obligations to related entities and liquidity providers. The Chinese version of its product information statement says instead that client deposits are kept separately from the company's own funds in designated accounts.

No deposit insurance or investor compensation scheme is confirmed for clients of any Hantec company. The same terms let the company terminate an account and be released from its obligations, including those on open contracts, if it believes a client has given false information, is involved in money laundering or is under official investigation. The group's home page also warns that unauthorised parties have used the Hantec name to open precious-metals accounts, and asks the public to deal only through its official website and customer service hotline.

Hantec Financial Account Types

The global site offers four live accounts, all with floating spreads:

  • CENT: from 100 USD, with balances in US cents.
  • Standard: from 500 USD, with no commission.
  • PRO: from 2,000 USD, with lower spreads on gold, silver and forex.
  • ECN: from 5,000 USD, with raw spreads plus commission, for forex and precious metals only.

A 30-day demo account comes with 50,000 USD in virtual funds. The home page's '$0 Minimum Deposit' headline is not supported by any live account, and the accounts page mentions no swap-free account. The Australian site publishes no named account tiers, and the Hong Kong service offers a single live account.

Hantec Financial Spreads, Commissions and Fees

Hantec Financial publishes no typical or minimum spread for any account. The Standard account charges no commission, while the ECN account's commission rate is not given on the accounts page; the financial services guide of Hantec Markets (V) Company Limited puts commissions, where charged, at 0.005% to 0.015% of the opening and closing transaction value, depending on the platform. The same guide charges a dormant account fee of $25 a year after 12 months without trading, and says an introducing broker can ask for its clients to be charged a premium over Hantec's standard spread.

The global deposit page lists no deposit or withdrawal fees, but it charges 5% of the total deposit as an administrative cost when deposits through the Hantec payment gateway are not matched by trading margin of at least 50% of that deposit, without saying which channels count as the gateway. The client terms put intermediary and receiving bank charges on the client, and the company may amend the terms at any time, with a change binding ten days after notice on its website or from the client's next trade.

Hantec Financial Leverage

Leverage on the global site reaches 1:1000 on the Standard and PRO accounts, 1:500 on CENT and 1:200 on ECN, although the PRO account card also describes leverage of up to 1:500. The Australian site caps leverage at 1:30 on major and 1:20 on minor FX CFDs, and the Hong Kong precious-metals account offers up to 1:100.

Hantec Financial Trading Platforms

Global clients can use MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5, each as a Windows download, a web terminal and iOS and Android apps, or the broker's own Hantec Trading App for iOS and Android. The app includes Hantec Copy Trading, where any live account holder can follow or offer strategies and strategy providers set a performance fee as a percentage of the follower's net profit. The Australian site offers MT4 only, including a Mac version.

Hantec Financial Deposits and Withdrawals

The global site lists local transfer channels for China, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia and several African countries, along with USDT, USDC, international bank wire in USD and card deposits of 50 to 10,000 USD; cards and the Asian local channels are for deposits only. Withdrawals go by bank wire (from 50 USD, or 500 USD for the China market, in 2 to 4 working days), USDT (1 to 3 hours), USDC (1 to 2 working days) or African local transfer (1 working day). Funds deposited and withdrawn without trading may be referred for an anti-money-laundering review, and the global client terms exclude the company's liability for any loss caused by a delay in funds reaching the client's account. Australian clients fund by bank transfer, SWIFT, payment gateway or Visa and Mastercard, with card funding limited to AUD 1,000 as initial margin, and the Australian company's terms accept no cash.

Hantec Financial Support

Hantec Financial advertises 24/7 multilingual support with live chat on its website, phone +852 2214 4288 and email csd@hantec.com, and lists offices in cities including London, Dubai, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Sydney and Port Vila. Complaints go to the Customer Service Department, which aims to respond within 7 working days, or 15 to 30 working days for complex cases, with escalation to the Compliance, Internal Audit and Risk Management Director if a complaint is not resolved within 6 weeks. For global clients, a dispute that remains unresolved goes to mediation under Vanuatu rules, with the mediator's costs shared equally, and then to arbitration under Vanuatu rules; clients of the Australian company can use the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA), where it is member 12777.

Hantec Financial Pros and Cons

Strengths:

  • Each group company's licence or membership was confirmed on the issuing body's register, including an ASIC licence for the Australian company's clients.
  • MT4, MT5 and an in-house app with built-in copy trading.
  • Local deposit channels across Asia and Africa, plus USDT and USDC.
  • 24/7 support is advertised.

Limitations:

  • Global clients contract with a Vanuatu company under an offshore licence, and disputes go to mediation and arbitration under Vanuatu rules.
  • The English terms and the Chinese product information statement contradict each other on whether client money is kept separate from the company's own funds.
  • Minimum deposits of 100 to 5,000 USD contradict the home page's '$0 Minimum Deposit' headline, and no spreads are published.
  • A 5% charge applies to gateway deposits that are not matched by enough trading margin, and dormant accounts pay $25 a year.

Hantec Financial Review and Assessment

Hantec Financial pairs a broad platform choice and local funding across Asia and Africa with a group structure in which each company's licence was confirmed on its register, but the global offer runs through an offshore Vanuatu company with leverage of up to 1:1000. The most important step before funding an account is to confirm which Hantec company the account will be with and how that company holds client money, since the Vanuatu company's English terms and Chinese product information statement give different answers.

How we know — 9 sources
  1. 1Refused, United States: the disclaimer on every page of www.hantec.com reads 'Hantec Financial does not offer its services to residents of certain jurisdictions, including but not limited to the Japan, USA, Canada, Iran, North Korea, Hong Kong, Macau, and jurisdictions on the FATF sanctions lists' (for example https://www.hantec.com/en/legal/disclaimer.html), and every language version names the United States, including the Hong Kong section's own disclaimer. The sign-up form agrees: its country-of-residence list (https://www.hantec.com/api/ss/application/data/all?type=N, used by https://www.hantec.com/client-center/register) leaves out the United States, and its questionnaire asks 'Are you a U.S. citizen?' and stops a yes answer with 'Sorry, we do not accept applications from U.S. citizens.'
  2. 2Likely blocked, not confirmed, JP, CA, IR, KP, MO: the same disclaimer names Japan, Canada, Iran, North Korea and Macau as not served (https://www.hantec.com/en/legal/disclaimer.html), but the sign-up form's country-of-residence list (https://www.hantec.com/api/ss/application/data/all?type=N) offers all five, so the refusal is not enforced at sign-up. The form outweighs published text, so the five are listed as probably refused, not confirmed.
  3. 3Further sign-up evidence on Japan and Iran: the form's own region lookup places Japan in an 'EAST_ASIA' region (https://www.hantec.com/api/ss/account-region/country/JP), which the site's region settings tie to a Japanese-language set, 'as/jp' (https://www.hantec.com/api/ss/company/region/20), and places Iran in a 'DUBAI' region (https://www.hantec.com/api/ss/account-region/country/IR) rather than refusing it. The account types page (https://www.hantec.com/en/trading/trading-condition/account-types.html) also lists a Tokyo office. The site has no Persian-language version and no rial deposit method.
  4. 4Likely blocked, not confirmed, GB and NZ: the Disclaimer page (https://www.hantec.com/en/legal/disclaimer.html) says the website is not an offer or solicitation in any jurisdiction, 'including, without limitation, the United States, the United Kingdom and New Zealand', where that is not authorised, and that in those named jurisdictions 'the sale and offering of financial products and services are either not permitted, exempted from regulation, or prohibited by law'. That is a non-solicitation statement, not a named refusal, and the sign-up list offers both countries, so the block is inferred.
  5. 5Dependent territory, UM: covered by the United States block and not itself named; the sign-up list leaves it out as well. Puerto Rico, Guam, the US Virgin Islands, American Samoa and the Northern Mariana Islands are not recorded: the sign-up country-of-residence list offers each of them by name while leaving out the United States, so the form decided the US block does not extend to them. The form's separate refusal of U.S. citizens applies whatever the country of residence. The probable, unconfirmed refusal of the UK and New Zealand does not extend to any territory.
  6. 6Hong Kong is in neither list: the disclaimer on the main pages names it, but the site's own Hong Kong section (https://www.hantec.com/hk/tc/) says that in Hong Kong the brand's services are provided by Hantec Bullion Limited (Hong Kong Gold Exchange member no. 163), sends account opening to https://www.hantecbullion.com/live-acc-reg/reg.htm, and its own jurisdiction disclaimer names Japan, the United States, Canada, Iran, North Korea and FATF-listed jurisdictions but not Hong Kong or Macau. The sign-up list also offers Hong Kong. The more specific Hong Kong page says Hong Kong residents are served, so Hong Kong is not refused.
  7. 7FATF wording: the disclaimer also refuses 'jurisdictions on the FATF sanctions lists' but names no country under that heading, so it adds nothing beyond Iran and North Korea, which it names directly. The list is introduced with 'including but not limited to', so it is not exhaustive.
  8. 8No country is shown as accepted: the sign-up country-of-residence list is an open list (it includes an 'Other' option and leaves out only the United States), so it is not an explicit acceptance of any one country. Australia is served by Hantec Markets (Australia) Pty Ltd (AFSL 326907) through https://au.hantec.com/, which the main site's language menu links, and Hong Kong by Hantec Bullion Limited as above. Both are group companies with their own sites and account opening, so they are mentioned here but not listed as accepted.
  9. 9No other country wording found: the Terms and Conditions, Financial Services Guide and Product Information Statement linked from the sign-up agreement (https://www.hantec.com/assets/download2/tnc_en.pdf, https://www.hantec.com/assets/download2/fsg_en.pdf and https://www.hantec.com/assets/download2/pis_en.pdf; Hantec Markets (V) Company Limited, version 2.1, 20 May 2024) name no country; the Terms only have the client warrant that it 'is not restricted by any applicable Laws from using HF's Online Platforms'. The deposit and withdrawal page (https://www.hantec.com/en/trading/trading-condition/deposit-withdrawal.html) refuses no country and lists local deposit methods for China, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia and African countries ('Africa countries include Rwanda, South Africa, Nigeria, and Kenya'). The site publishes no restricted-countries page, FAQ or AML policy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about HANTEC FINANCIAL

Most Popular Questions

Yes. The financial services guide of Hantec Markets (V) Company Limited charges a dormant account fee of $25 a year once an account has gone 12 months without trading, deducted on the anniversary of the last transaction. If the balance cannot cover it, the fee takes the balance to zero and the account is closed; the Australian company's guide sets the same $25 yearly fee.

Only its Australian company is. Hantec Markets (Australia) Pty Limited holds Australian Financial Services Licence 326907, which the ASIC register showed as Current on 21 October 2026. It serves Australian residents through au.hantec.com and www.hantecmarkets.com, with leverage of up to 1:30 on major and 1:20 on minor currency pairs. Clients of the global site www.hantec.com contract with Hantec Markets (V) Company Limited under its Vanuatu licence, and the ASIC licence does not cover them.

Yes. Hantec Copy Trading is built into the Hantec Trading App, and any live account holder can follow other traders' strategies or offer their own. Strategy providers set a performance fee as a percentage of the follower's net profit, settled per trade or daily or weekly.

The global accounts cover forex, precious metals, commodity CFDs, index CFDs and stock CFDs, and the Standard account card also mentions crypto CFDs. The ECN account is limited to forex and precious metals, and the Hong Kong service of Hantec Bullion Limited covers precious metals only.

Send it to Hantec Financial's Customer Service Department by phone, email or letter: the broker aims to respond within 7 working days, or 15 to 30 working days for complex cases, and a complaint not resolved within 6 weeks can be escalated to its Compliance, Internal Audit and Risk Management Director. For global clients, the terms of Hantec Markets (V) Company Limited then send a dispute to mediation under Vanuatu rules, with the mediator's costs shared equally, and to arbitration under Vanuatu rules if mediation does not settle it within 30 days. Clients of Hantec Markets (Australia) Pty Limited can take an unresolved complaint to the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA), where the company is member 12777.

Hantec Financial advertises 24/7 multilingual support, with live chat on its website, phone +852 2214 4288 and email csd@hantec.com. Australian clients can reach the Sydney office on +61 2 8017 8018 or cs@hantecmarkets.com.

Yes, according to the broker. A formal statement on Hantec Financial's home page says institutions and individuals have been doing business in the Hantec Group's name, including opening precious-metals trading accounts, and that anyone claiming a link to the group without the authorised Hantec brand and logo has no connection with it. The group asks clients to confirm through its official website and customer service hotline; its sites include www.hantec.com, au.hantec.com and www.hantecmarkets.com for Australia, and www.hantecbullion.com for the Hong Kong client centre.

It depends on where you live, because Hantec Financial is a co-brand shared by several Hantec Group companies. Clients of the global site www.hantec.com contract with Hantec Markets (V) Company Limited, which the Vanuatu Financial Services Commission's register of international companies lists as company 40318, incorporated on 29 May 2017, with its registered office in the Govant Building, Kumul Highway, Port Vila (checked 21 October 2026). Australian residents deal with Hantec Markets (Australia) Pty Limited through au.hantec.com, Hong Kong clients with Hantec Bullion Limited, and Hantec (Seychelles) Services Limited runs www.hantec-sc.com. The group says it has served investors for over 35 years; the Vanuatu company itself dates from 2017.

Standard accounts are commission-free, but the ECN account adds a commission to raw spreads, so the home page's '$0 Commission' headline does not hold for every account. The accounts page gives no commission rate and no typical spread for any account; the financial services guide of Hantec Markets (V) Company Limited puts commissions, where charged, at 0.005% to 0.015% of the opening and closing transaction value. The same guide charges a dormant account fee of $25 a year after 12 months without trading, plus fees for posted statements, audit certificates and copies of recorded calls.

The global site offers four live accounts with floating spreads: CENT from 100 USD with balances in US cents, Standard from 500 USD with no commission, PRO from 2,000 USD with lower spreads on gold, silver and forex, and ECN from 5,000 USD with raw spreads plus commission, limited to forex and precious metals. A 30-day demo account comes with 50,000 USD in virtual funds, and the accounts page mentions no swap-free account.

The lowest minimum deposit on Hantec Financial's global accounts table is 100 USD, for the CENT account; the Standard account needs 500 USD, PRO 2,000 USD and ECN 5,000 USD. The home page advertises a '$0 Minimum Deposit', which the accounts table does not support for any live account; only the demo account needs no deposit.

Yes. Hantec Financial's website disclaimer says it does not offer its services to residents of Japan, the USA, Canada, Iran, North Korea, Hong Kong, Macau and jurisdictions on the FATF sanctions lists, and its sign-up form turns away U.S. citizens. The sign-up form still lists Japan, Canada, Iran, North Korea and Macau as countries of residence, and the site's own Hong Kong section says Hong Kong clients are served by Hantec Bullion Limited, so the disclaimer and the rest of the site do not fully agree. Australian residents are served separately by Hantec Markets (Australia) Pty Ltd through au.hantec.com.

Hantec Financial offers leverage of up to 1:1000 on its global Standard and PRO accounts, 1:500 on CENT and 1:200 on ECN. The PRO account card also describes 'higher leverage (up to 1:500)', so the broker's own accounts page gives two figures for PRO. Australian residents, served by Hantec Markets (Australia) Pty Ltd, are limited to 1:30 on major and 1:20 on minor FX CFDs, and the Hong Kong precious-metals service lists up to 1:100.

Anti-money-laundering rules apply to Hantec Financial accounts. The client terms of Hantec Markets (V) Company Limited bind clients to anti-money-laundering and counter-terrorism financing laws, including providing satisfactory evidence of the identity of anyone they act for, and allow the company to share client information with law enforcement agencies and regulators. The deposit page adds that funds deposited and withdrawn without trading activity may be referred to the Compliance Department for an anti-money-laundering review.

Hantec Financial's global deposit and withdrawal page lists no deposit or withdrawal fee for any channel, but the client terms of Hantec Markets (V) Company Limited put intermediary and receiving bank charges on the client, and the page charges 5% of the total deposit as an administrative cost when deposits through the Hantec payment gateway are not matched by trading margin of at least 50% of that deposit. Bank wire withdrawals take 2 to 4 working days with a minimum of 50 USD (500 USD for the China market), USDT withdrawals 1 to 3 hours, USDC withdrawals 1 to 2 working days and African local transfers 1 working day. Cards and the Asian local transfer channels are for deposits only.

Hantec Financial offers MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5 and its own Hantec Trading App for iOS and Android, which includes Hantec Copy Trading. MT4 and MT5 are available as a Windows download, a web terminal and iOS and Android apps. Australian residents, served by Hantec Markets (Australia) Pty Ltd, get MT4 only, including a Mac version.

Yes. Each of the four Hantec Financial companies holds a licence or membership that was confirmed on the issuing body's own register or member list on 21 October 2026, but global clients deal with Hantec Markets (V) Company Limited under its offshore Vanuatu licence:

  • Hantec Markets (V) Company Limited: VFSC financial dealers licence 40318, classes A, B and C.
  • Hantec Markets (Australia) Pty Limited: ASIC Australian Financial Services Licence 326907, status Current, for clients of the Australian company only.
  • Hantec (Seychelles) Services Limited: listed by the Seychelles FSA as a securities dealer; the register shows no number, and the broker's sites give SD164 and SDR225.
  • Hantec Bullion Limited: Hong Kong Gold Exchange member 163, for gold and silver trading in Hong Kong.

On client funds the Vanuatu company's own documents disagree: clause 10.1 of its English terms says client money is held on the company's own account, not in trust, while the Chinese version of its product information statement says deposits are kept separately from the company's own funds in designated accounts. No compensation scheme is confirmed for clients of any Hantec company.
