Finding

A Category I financial services provider licence under the Financial Advisory and Intermediary Services Act, held by INTERSTELLAR CAPITAL (PTY) LTD, company number 2021/11969/07. The register shows advice and intermediary permissions, including on derivative instruments. That is authority to advise and to arrange, not authority to act as the derivatives counterparty that holds client money. Client protection: Partial. Conduct supervision and an ombudsman route in South Africa for advice and intermediary services, but it does not make this company the licensed holder of client deposits. The register result is reached by searching FSP number 52343 and has no shareable address of its own.. Effective: 11 Aug 2022.

FSCA 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

Questions about this licence

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

Most Popular Questions

The Cyprus site publishes a telephone number on +357 25 211 495 and an email address at info@interstellarfx.eu, with complaints@interstellarfx.eu for complaints and support@fisg.com as a group support address. Live chat is offered during business hours.

The Cyprus site advertises seven asset classes, with forex, indices, energies, stocks, metals and cryptocurrencies shown on its product pages. The published instrument range runs to 56 currency pairs, 22 other CFDs and four cryptocurrencies.

The group runs a separate site for each of its main entities: interstellarfx.eu for the Cyprus investment firm, interstellarfx.sc for the Seychelles securities dealer and fisg.co.za for the South African provider.

The terms are not identical across them, so the site a client is routed to decides the entity, the licence and the trading conditions that apply.

Its deposit and withdrawal page states no transaction fee in either direction, and adds that the broker does not charge withdrawal fees although a client's own bank may.

Its own Deposits and Withdrawals Charges schedule of June 2026 does set bank transfer charges: inward transfers are free up to EUR 2,000 and then charged in bands, and outward payments within the European Union carry 0.15 percent with a minimum of EUR 10. Anyone funding by bank transfer should read that schedule rather than the funding page alone.

UnionPay and digital currency withdrawals are published as credited on the same business day. Telegraphic transfer withdrawals follow the receiving bank's own processing time, which the broker does not put a figure on.

Three, published on the Cyprus site as STANDARD, ECN and UNION. Each is listed with the same minimum first deposit of USD 50 and the same maximum leverage of 1:30.

The account pages state no commission for any of the three, so the published differences between the tiers are limited.

Five companies carry the brand: Interstellar Financial Group Limited in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (number 22770 BC 2015), The First Interstellar Capital Limited in Cyprus (HE 161002), First Interstellar Global Ltd in Seychelles (8430637-1), INTERSTELLAR CAPITAL (Pty) Ltd in South Africa and INTERSTELLAR GROUP CAPITAL PTY LTD in Australia.

The footer of the Cyprus site names two of them as the operator of that one website, the Saint Vincent company in its disclaimer and the Cyprus company in its licensing statement, so the company a client would actually be contracting with is worth checking in the account agreement.

USD 50. Each of the three account types on the Cyprus site is published with the same minimum first deposit, and the broker's own FAQ gives USD 50 as the account opening minimum.

No per channel minimum or maximum is published for any of the funding methods.

The group's own disclaimers exclude different countries on different sites. The Cyprus site states that it does not offer CFDs to residents of certain jurisdictions including the United States, Iran, Canada, Belgium and France. The South African site states the same for the United States, Iran, Canada, the European Union and China.

Which list applies therefore depends on which of the group's entities a client is onboarded to.

The three account types on the Cyprus site are each published with a maximum of 1:30, which is also what that site's homepage advertises. The same site's leverage policy page sets out a maximum of 1:500.

The group publishes both figures and does not reconcile them, so the cap that applies to a particular account should be confirmed with the firm before funding it.

Yes, Interstellar requires KYC (Know Your Customer) verification to open an account.

Three channels are published: UnionPay, digital currency and telegraphic transfer. UnionPay deposits are credited instantly and digital currency deposits in about thirty minutes, with withdrawals on both credited the same business day; telegraphic transfer deposits take three to five days and withdrawals follow the receiving bank's own processing time.

Cards, PayPal and Wise are not among the published channels, and the broker does not name which coins or networks it accepts for digital currency.

MetaTrader 4. The Cyprus site lists it as its trading platform, on Windows, Mac, iOS and Android, and the group hosts its own Windows installer rather than only linking the standard one.

It adds MultiTerminal for managing several accounts at once, along with in-house spread monitor and trading statistics plugins.

Each licence the brand advertises belongs to a different company in the group, and the group's own sites are where those claims are made. The Cyprus site states that The First Interstellar Capital Limited holds CySEC licence 166/12, the Seychelles site that First Interstellar Global Ltd holds Seychelles FSA licence SD127, and the South African site that INTERSTELLAR CAPITAL (Pty) Ltd is an authorised financial services provider under FSP number 52343.

Which of those applies depends on the company named in the account agreement, so that is the thing to establish before funding one. The site disclaimers also name Interstellar Financial Group Limited, a Saint Vincent and the Grenadines company, as the operator of the group's websites, and a company registration there is not financial regulation.

Licence 52343 was issued by Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA), the financial authority for South Africa.
