Finding

A genuine Anjouan offshore licence for over-the-counter derivatives and leveraged spot foreign exchange, held by Macro Global Markets Ltd, company no. 16030.

No deposit protection, no compensation scheme and no meaningful conduct supervision.. Effective: 8 May 2025. Expires: 8 May 2027.

AOFA 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

Macro Markets directs clients to its Help Center at https://www.macromarkets.sc/about/help. It also records a general email address, support@macrogm.com, a Hong Kong telephone number on +852 2726 5008, live chat during business hours and a stated response time of up to 72 hours. Support is recorded in English only.

Macro Markets prices on variable spreads, and no separate per trade commission is recorded for either of its account tiers. The broker publishes no representative or average spread figure, so the real cost of a trade cannot be stated from its own material. The spread and any commission on the ECN tier are worth confirming with the broker before an account is funded.

Macro Markets records around 30 forex pairs, and the group's own site lists forex, crude oil, precious metals, stock indices and contracts for difference on indices and US stocks among the services it offers. No counts are published for those non forex classes, so the size of each range cannot be stated, and availability can differ between the group's sites.

Yes, a swap free option is recorded for Macro Markets, which removes overnight interest on positions held past the daily rollover. The broker does not publish which instruments or which account tiers the option covers, or whether an administration charge replaces the swap, so those terms need confirming with the broker directly.

Macro Markets offers two account tiers, Standard and ECN. Both carry the same maximum leverage of 1:1000, and the broker publishes no separate minimum deposit, spread or commission figure for either, so the practical difference between them is not set out in its own material.

The Macro Markets brand is used by several companies in one group rather than by a single operator. The client facing site is run by Macro Markets Solutions Ltd of the Republic of Seychelles, and the group also includes Macro Markets Solutions Limited in Hong Kong, Macro Global Markets Pty Ltd in Australia, Macro Global Markets Ltd in the Autonomous Island of Anjouan, Union of Comoros, and Macro Global Markets NZ Limited in New Zealand. Each company publishes its own website, so the terms and the authorisation that apply depend on which one holds the account.

Macro Markets offers a maximum leverage of up to 1:1000. The same cap is recorded for both its Standard and its ECN account, and leverage at that level magnifies losses as much as gains.

The minimum deposit recorded for Macro Markets is 50 USD. The broker publishes no separate minimum for its Standard and ECN tiers, so that figure is the entry level for both.

Macro Markets does not publish its deposit and withdrawal methods on its own website: there is no funding page, and its help centre is a contact page only. It also publishes no per method fee, minimum, maximum or processing time, so the cost and the timing of a withdrawal cannot be stated from its own material. Settle those terms with the broker in writing before an account is funded.

MetaTrader 4 is the platform Macro Markets publishes builds for, covering Windows, macOS, iOS and Android. MetaTrader 5 is referred to on the company's own About page, but its platform download and market pages list MetaTrader 4 builds only, so MT5 availability is not confirmed.

Macro Markets holds Securities Dealer Licence No. SD232 from the Financial Services Authority of Seychelles, confirmed in the name of Macro Markets Solutions Ltd. Two further authorisations sit elsewhere in the group: Australian Financial Services Licence 363972, held by Macro Global Markets Pty Ltd, and membership No. 229 of the Hong Kong Gold Exchange, which is an exchange trading right for spot gold and silver rather than a securities or derivatives licence. Which of those covers a client depends on the company the account is opened with, so the Australian licence does not automatically apply to an account opened on the Seychelles site. Holding a licence is not in itself evidence that a broker is safe to deal with.
