Meco Markets

It may. The order execution policy states that opening a position in some CFDs may require paying a commission, a spread or financing fees, with commission charged either as a percentage of trade value or as a fixed amount per unit of volume, and a daily swap charge on positions held overnight. No rates are published for any account tier.

The firm says so. Its homepage claims segregated accounts, and the client agreement defines client funds as money held in segregated client accounts or in segregated accounts with another authorised firm which may be an affiliate. Nothing on the site names the bank or the custodian, and an offshore Seychelles licence carries no compensation scheme behind that promise.

Beyond the US reportable-person exclusion, the broker names no country. Its anti-money-laundering policy refers to a monthly high-risk and blacklisted jurisdictions policy governing enhanced due diligence, but that document is not published on the site and the registration form carries no country selector. If your jurisdiction matters, ask before applying.

No. The client agreement states plainly that the company does not accept clients who are US reportable persons, a definition that covers US citizens, dual citizens, US resident aliens for tax purposes, domestic partnerships and corporations and related trusts.

Three trading tiers are described: Standard, aimed at newcomers and intermediate traders; Premium, offering lower spreads and additional features; and VIP, with the most competitive spreads and personalised service. Separately, the site describes brokerage, custody and managed account services. No tier's minimum deposit, leverage or commission is published.

The broker publishes no processing times for either deposits or withdrawals. Its terms note that the firm may delay a request until identification documents are complete, and that banks, card acquirers and currency conversion may add charges of their own. Treat withdrawal speed as an open question to test with a small amount first.

The broker lists bank wire transfers and major credit and debit cards, including Visa and Mastercard. It states that it covers most deposit processing fees and that a withdrawal fee may be charged at a rate depending on the method used, but publishes no fee schedule and no minimum or maximum amounts. Third-party and anonymous payments are refused, so funds must move from an account in your own name.

The site markets contracts for difference on forex, stocks, indices, commodities, derivatives, fixed income and cryptocurrencies, plus direct stock ownership. No instrument counts are published, so the actual size of the offering cannot be confirmed from the broker's own material.

The client agreement defines the firm's online trading facility as the MetaQuotes MT4 and MT5 platforms, or any other platform the company may offer. The website itself has no platform page, no server names and no download links, and the link its homepage carries to a trading-platforms page does not resolve.

No maximum leverage is published anywhere on the site or in the legal documents. The trading-products pages describe leveraged CFD trading in general terms, and stocks are offered on a full-ownership, zero-leverage basis. The client agreement does state a close-out rule: positions are automatically closed when the margin level reaches 50%.

The broker does not publish one. The website describes a Standard account with "accessible minimum deposit requirements" but gives no figure, and no legal document sets one either. You would have to ask the firm directly, and we would suggest getting the answer in writing before funding an account.

The operator is MECO Markets Limited, a Seychelles company with registration number C8427207, quoted in the broker's own terms as 8427207-1. Public corporate records show the entity as active, incorporated on 6 November 2019, at Suite 3, Global Village, Jivan's Complex, Mont Fleuri, Mahe. The same records show a previous legal name, HITSPREAD LIMITED. The website does not disclose its shareholders or directors.

Yes, but offshore. The firm's client agreement states that MECO Markets Limited is a Securities Dealer licensee regulated and authorised by the Financial Services Authority of Seychelles under licence number SD083. A Seychelles Securities Dealer licence is a low-tier, offshore authorisation. It permits dealing in derivatives and securities, but it carries no client-money compensation scheme and offers a client outside the Seychelles very limited practical recourse compared with an onshore regulator.
