Broker Summary
What Wikilix has recorded about nextmarkets: its history, the licences it holds, its trading conditions and its fees.
nextmarkets was a European neobroker built around a proprietary web and mobile trading platform rather than the usual MetaTrader stack. The retail service was operated by NEXTMARKETS TRADING LTD., a private limited liability company registered in Malta under company number C 77603 at Centris Business Gateway, Level 4/W, Triq is-Salib Tal-Imriehel, CBD 3020, Birkirkara. The group sat under a German parent, nextmarkets AG, registered at the Cologne commercial register under HRB 104025 and based at Gertrudenstrasse 30-36 in Cologne. An earlier group company, nextmarkets GmbH (HRB 80770), was merged into the AG in December 2020.
The service is no longer operating. This is the single most important thing to know about the brand. The German parent is recorded as inactive following liquidation, with its Legal Entity Identifier retired in August 2026, and the Malta entity's own Legal Entity Identifier lapsed in October 2025 without renewal. The domain the company traded under no longer resolves to any nextmarkets service; requesting it now redirects to unrelated third-party sites that have nothing to do with financial services. Anyone who reaches a page carrying this brand today should assume it is not the original firm.
What the offering was. The platform combined currency pairs, cryptocurrencies, several thousand shares and a large range of exchange-traded funds in a single account, with a distinctive coaching feature in which in-house analysts published trade ideas clients could follow. Pricing was commission-free, with the broker's revenue taken in the spread and EUR/USD quoted from around 0.6 pips. Leverage was capped at 1:30, consistent with the European retail limits, and the minimum funding amount was 500 EUR, which was high relative to most retail competitors. Deposits from business accounts and from payment services that could not be clearly attributed to the account holder were not accepted.
Regulation. The Malta entity was presented as authorised by the Malta Financial Services Authority under an investment services licence tied to its company number. WIKILIX could not confirm the current standing of that authorisation: no licence certificate was available to inspect, and the firm no longer publishes a regulation page of its own because it no longer publishes a website. The Malta company registration is real and was confirmed against an authoritative record, but a company registration is not a trading licence and must not be read as one. On the evidence available, the regulatory position is unverified rather than confirmed either way.
Who this suits. Nobody, as a live trading option. The entry exists as a record of a brand that operated and has since wound down. Former clients with an outstanding balance should pursue it through the Malta entity and, if that fails, through the Maltese financial services complaints route rather than through anything now published at the old domain. Prospective traders should treat any site or approach using the nextmarkets name as unconnected to the company described here until proven otherwise.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about nextmarkets
Unclear, and that matters. Firms authorised in Malta are normally covered by a compensation scheme, but WIKILIX could not verify that this firm's authorisation was in force or what protection actually attached to it. Do not assume a compensation entitlement on the strength of the company registration alone.
No. There is no live signup, no reachable platform and no operating website. Any page currently offering to open a nextmarkets account should be treated as an impersonation of a defunct brand.
WIKILIX cannot say. Establishing a country policy requires reading the firm's own terms, signup form and legal documents, and none of those are reachable because the site no longer exists. Rather than publish a record implying the broker restricted nobody, this profile leaves the supported-countries section unwritten.
No. Deposits from business accounts were refused, as were deposits from payment services that could not be clearly attributed to the account holder. WIKILIX could not obtain a full list of the deposit and withdrawal channels the firm did accept, so no funding methods are recorded on this profile.
Do not attempt it through the old domain, which is no longer controlled by the firm and now serves unrelated content. Pursue the claim in writing against the Malta operating entity, NEXTMARKETS TRADING LTD. (C 77603), at its registered address, and keep every statement, contract note and transfer record. If that route fails, escalate through the Maltese financial services complaints and arbiter process. Anyone who contacts you offering to recover the funds for an up-front payment is running a second fraud on top of the first.
Currency pairs, cryptocurrencies, several thousand shares and a large range of exchange-traded funds, all through a single account rather than separate account tiers.
A self-developed web platform plus Android and iOS apps, rather than MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5 or cTrader. Its distinguishing feature was a coaching function through which in-house analysts published trade ideas clients could follow. None of it is reachable now.
Pricing was commission-free, with the firm's revenue taken in the spread. EUR/USD was quoted from around 0.6 pips. These figures are historic and could not be checked against the broker's own published pricing.
A maximum of 1:30, consistent with the European retail leverage limits that apply to firms serving retail clients in the region.
500 EUR. That was noticeably higher than most retail competitors and was a common complaint from smaller traders. This figure could not be corroborated against the broker's own site, which no longer exists.
There is no evidence that it was set up as a fraud. It was a real, registered European firm with verifiable company records in Malta and Germany, an office address and a genuine proprietary platform. What has happened is a wind-down, not an exit scam by any evidence available here. The present risk is different: an abandoned brand with a lapsed domain is an attractive shell for impersonation, so anything trading under this name today should be treated as unconnected until proven otherwise.
It is gone. The firm's domain of record no longer resolves to any nextmarkets service and instead redirects to unrelated third-party sites with no connection to financial services. A second domain carrying the name is a registrar parked page. Neither is under the broker's control in any way this run could observe.
The retail service was operated by NEXTMARKETS TRADING LTD., a private limited liability company registered in Malta under number C 77603 and incorporated in December 2016. It sat under a German parent, nextmarkets AG, registered at the Cologne commercial register under HRB 104025. An earlier company, nextmarkets GmbH (HRB 80770), was merged into the AG in December 2020.
Not on any basis WIKILIX could confirm. The Malta operating entity was presented as authorised by the Malta Financial Services Authority under an investment services licence tied to its company number C 77603, but no licence certificate was available to inspect and the firm no longer publishes a regulation page. WIKILIX therefore records the regulatory position as unverified, not as confirmed. The Malta company registration is real, but a company registration is not a trading licence.
No. The service has wound down. The German parent company, nextmarkets AG, is recorded as inactive following liquidation, and the domain the firm traded under no longer serves any nextmarkets platform. Treat the brand as defunct.
