Why we reached this verdict
How the evidence adds up.
Three findings drive this verdict, and one important finding pulls the other way.
- A regulator warning naming the exact website. The I-SCAN record (warning 37134) names the commercial name Stockity and the address https://stockity.id/ua, attributes it to Ukraine's National Securities and Stock Market Commission, and classifies it as an unregistered or unlicensed entity offering derivatives. That is the regulator's own assessment of this exact site, not a name coincidence: searching the licensed company name across the same warning network returns only unrelated firms.
- A withdrawal-complaint pattern with checkable detail. Across the two Trustpilot profiles and the Google Play listing, the same mechanism recurs: deposits clear quickly, then a withdrawal is left in processing, gated behind verification, or answered with a request to fund a different payment method. One Indian user gives the deposit amount, the date, the UPI reference number and the payee handle; an Indonesian user gives an unpaid balance of 20,000,000 rupiah; a South African user describes four weeks of unprocessed withdrawals. One app reviewer writes simply that his own capital cannot be withdrawn. The reports come from different users in at least five countries on two platforms and carry transactional specifics, which is what separates a pattern from scattered noise. They are not time-clustered, and the operator replies to them, so we treat the set as a strong pattern rather than proof of systematic denial.
- The platform misdescribes who supervises it. Its regulation page advertises a Main Licence number 700726 without ever naming the issuing authority or the country, and publishes no link to any register. The only body it names as a regulator is Trusted by Traders, a private organisation that discloses no owner, no company registration and no jurisdiction, and which cannot license, supervise or compensate anyone. Calling that an independent and impartial regulatory body, on both the regulation page and the about page, is a false statement about regulation by a platform that does in fact hold a real licence it chooses not to name. Trustpilot has separately withheld the rating on the stockity.id profile for a breach of its review guidelines, which matters because that profile and the app listing carry a large volume of one-line five-star entries from single-review accounts.
- What pulls the other way, and why it does not clear the broker. The licence is real and in force, and it is held by the same company that signs the client agreement, at the same registered address, which rules out a clone or a borrowed licence number. The company is current on the Vanuatu register and filed its annual return on 25 June 2026. Many users, with account numbers and bank details in their reviews, report near-instant payouts. A Vanuatu dealer licence, however, carries no compensation scheme and no deposit guarantee, and it does not authorise the platform in Indonesia, where it draws most of its users and where the product it sells is not permitted. A verified offshore licence limits the risk of outright impersonation; it does not answer for the conduct the complaints describe.
- How the figure was reached. The weighted dimension scores alone produce about 58 percent. The evidence rules set a floor of 70 where a regulator warning names the exact domain under investigation, so 70 is the published figure. It reflects a regulator's finding plus a documented pattern of clients not getting money out, not a finding of criminal conduct: no regulator has charged this company and no court record names it. We assess the risk to a depositor's funds as high.
Evidence ledger
Every finding, with its source and how strongly it points.
E1Ukraine's National Securities and Stock Market Commission has Stockity on its list of suspicious investment projects, naming the exact address https://stockity.id/ua and classifying it as an unregistered or unlicensed entity offering derivatives. Warning 37134, published 14 April 2025.
E2The Vanuatu regulator's own Financial Dealers Licensee List shows VERTE SECURITIES LIMITED, company number 700726, licence classes A, B and C, status Active, dated 12 July 2024. The licence is genuine and in force.
E3The Vanuatu register of international companies shows VERTE SECURITIES LIMITED, number 700726, status Registered, registered on 29 June 2023, previously known as VEGA TRADING LIMITED, at International Business Centre, Suite 8, Pot 820/104, Route Elluk, Port Vila, with its annual return last filed on 25 June 2026. The address matches the one published on the platform.
E4Trustpilot displays a warning on the stockity.id profile stating that the company's rating is unavailable due to a breach of its guidelines. The profile carries 144 reviews, 124 of them in the last twelve months, and lists the Port Vila address.
E5Low-rated reviews on the anchor domain's profile describe the same failure repeatedly: one Indian user reports a 3,000 INR deposit on 12 February 2026 with UPI reference 200001949879 that was never credited and a later withdrawal that was refused; a South African user reports four weeks of withdrawals left in processing with pressure to deposit more; users in Rwanda and Ecuador report withdrawals blocked behind verification applied only after the deposit was taken.
E6On the second Trustpilot profile, an Indonesian user reports being unable to withdraw a balance of 20,000,000 rupiah and asks for its return, and another reports that trading gains were repeatedly not credited. The profile was claimed in February 2026, runs a paid Trustpilot subscription, shows 107 reviews at 4.6, and carries Trustpilot's notice that the company may be associated with high-risk investments.
E7App store reviews rated one star report that a user's own capital could not be withdrawn, that a remaining balance was staked automatically without the user acting, and that chart or expiry behaviour is manipulated. Each carries nine to eleven helpful votes, and the operator replies to each pointing users to support.
E8The platform's own regulation page advertises a Main Licence number 700726 without naming the issuing authority, the jurisdiction or a link to any register, and presents Trusted by Traders as an independent and impartial regulatory body. The about page repeats the same description.
StrongStockity regulation pageE9Trusted by Traders publishes no owner, no company registration, no office and no jurisdiction, and describes only a complaint-handling process. It is a private body with no power to license, supervise or compensate anyone.
ModerateTrusted by Traders websiteE10The partner programme linked from Stockity's own footer promotes Stockity, Traditex, Binomo and QuantaFund, and states that it is owned and operated by Horna Limited. Stockity and Binomo are therefore marketed through the same commercial channel while trading under different licensed entities.
E11The client agreement states that services are provided by Verte Securities Limited, a company registered under the laws of the Republic of Vanuatu with company number 700726 at the Route Elluk address in Port Vila, and names stockity.com as the website. The entity and number match the regulator's register exactly, so no other firm's credentials are in use.
ModerateStockity client agreementE12The stockity.id domain was created on 22 March 2022 and runs on Cloudflare nameservers through an Indonesian registrar. This is consistent with a brand launched in 2022 and with the site's own copyright line.
E13The stockity.com domain was first registered on 31 December 2014 and last changed on 11 December 2025. The address predates the Stockity brand by seven years, so the operation's track record is set by the 2022 domain and the 2023 company, not by this registration date.
E14The app listing shows more than five million downloads and a 4.7 rating from about 60,900 ratings, and users post specific reports of fast deposits and withdrawals. A large, genuinely active user base exists and many clients are paid.
E15Searching the warning network for the licensed company name returns only unrelated firms in Ontario, so the Ukrainian entry is the single warning-list hit against this operation worldwide. No tier-one regulator warning, enforcement action or fine was located.
E16The homepage and cashier close to visitors in the European Union with a message that Stockity is not available in their region, while the footer names VERTE SECURITIES LIMITED, the Port Vila address and registration number 700726. Shutting out the EU, where retail binary options are banned, is consistent with compliance rather than evasion.
The other side
The strongest case in this broker’s favour.
The case for Stockity, stated as fairly as we can put it.
- It is not a fake. The licence number resolves on the Vanuatu regulator's own list, to the same company named in the client agreement, at the same registered address shown on the site and on its Trustpilot profile. Nothing here is borrowed from another firm, and the company files its returns on time.
- Withdrawals demonstrably work for many people. Reviews from July and August 2026 describe payouts arriving almost instantly, some with account identifiers attached. A platform that never paid anyone would not produce those.
- Some withdrawal complaints have innocent explanations. Several describe being asked to verify identity after depositing, or being refused a payout to a bank account when the deposit came from a card. Returning funds to their source and completing identity checks before release are ordinary anti-money-laundering requirements, not theft, and we have not counted them as evidence of one.
- Many angry reviews are trading losses, not missing money. Fixed-time products pay roughly 80 percent on a win and take 100 percent on a loss, so most users lose over time by design. Reviews saying only that the money is gone, or that an indicator failed, are losses on a product that is disclosed, and we excluded them.
- Blocking the European Union is compliance, not evasion. Retail binary options are banned across the EU, and the site turns those visitors away rather than taking their deposits.
- The complaint set is not proof of a closed door. It is not clustered in one window, it sits against a very large user base, and the operator answers publicly. On the evidence we hold, this looks like an aggressive, weakly supervised operation with real payout failures, rather than a platform built solely to take deposits and keep them.
- No tier-one regulator has warned about it. One warning exists, from Ukraine, about operating without authorisation there. There is no enforcement action, no fine and no fraud-related court record naming this company.
What would change this
What we would need to see to revise the verdict.
Specific, checkable things would move this verdict in either direction.
- Lower risk: removal of the Stockity entry from Ukraine's list of suspicious investment projects and from the I-SCAN warning network.
- Lower risk: authorisation from Bappebti or OJK in Indonesia, or a clear withdrawal from markets where the product is prohibited.
- Lower risk: a regulation page that names the Vanuatu Financial Services Commission, states the licence class, links directly to the regulator's licensee list, and stops describing a private company as an independent regulatory body.
- Lower risk: Trustpilot restoring the rating on the stockity.id profile.
- Lower risk: twelve months with no new fund-integrity complaints, and documented resolution of the specific cases already on record, including the uncredited UPI deposit and the unpaid 20,000,000 rupiah balance.
- Higher risk, and we would revisit immediately: any demand for a tax, release fee or further deposit before funds are paid out; a warning from a tier-one regulator naming the site; the Vanuatu licence lapsing or being withdrawn while the platform keeps advertising it; or a cluster of unpaid withdrawals inside a single window, which is the signature of an operation winding down.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about this broker’s safety.
Is Stockity a scam?
We rate Stockity high risk at 70 percent rather than a confirmed scam. The platform is real and holds a genuine Vanuatu dealer licence, but Ukraine's securities regulator lists its site as an unregistered provider of derivatives, and users across two platforms report withdrawals that are not paid. Treat it as unsafe for money you cannot afford to lose.
Is Stockity a fraud?
No regulator has charged Stockity with fraud and we found no fraud-related court record naming Verte Securities Limited, the company behind it. What we did find is one regulator warning about unlicensed activity, a pattern of unpaid withdrawals and a false description of a private body as its regulator. On that basis we assess the risk of fraud as high, but that is our assessment, not a legal finding.
Is Stockity regulated?
Yes, but only offshore. The Vanuatu Financial Services Commission lists VERTE SECURITIES LIMITED, company number 700726, with an active Financial Dealers Licence in classes A, B and C dated 12 July 2024. It holds no licence from any major regulator such as the FCA, ASIC, CySEC or MAS.
What is a Vanuatu licence actually worth to me?
Very little in practice. Vanuatu is a low-tier offshore jurisdiction with no investor compensation scheme and no deposit guarantee, so if the platform fails or refuses to pay, there is no fund to reimburse you. You can complain to the regulator, but you cannot rely on getting your money back.
Is Stockity legal in Indonesia, and is it registered with OJK or Bappebti?
No. Stockity holds no authorisation from either OJK or Bappebti, and fixed-time or binary trading of this kind is not permitted for retail clients in Indonesia. Indonesian authorities have blocked large numbers of binary-option sites, and Stockity serves Indonesian visitors through the alternate address stockity1.id.
Can I withdraw my money from Stockity?
Many users do, and some report payouts arriving almost instantly. Others do not: reports from India, Indonesia, South Africa, Rwanda and Ecuador describe withdrawals left in processing, blocked behind verification applied after the deposit, or refused unless another payment method is funded. Verify your identity and test a small withdrawal before you deposit more.
Who owns Stockity and where is it based?
The contracting company is VERTE SECURITIES LIMITED, a Vanuatu international company registered on 29 June 2023 at International Business Centre, Suite 8, Pot 820/104, Route Elluk, Port Vila. It was previously named VEGA TRADING LIMITED. No directors, shareholders or managers are named anywhere on the platform.
How old is Stockity?
About three to four years. The stockity.id domain was registered on 22 March 2022, the site's copyright runs from 2022, and the current licensed company dates from June 2023. The stockity.com address was first registered in 2014, but the Stockity operation does not date from then, so do not read that as a twelve-year track record.
Is Trusted by Traders a real regulator?
No. Trusted by Traders is a private organisation that publishes no owner, no company registration and no jurisdiction. It cannot issue a licence, supervise a broker or compensate a client. Stockity describes it on two of its own pages as an independent and impartial regulatory body, which is not accurate.
Is Stockity a clone of another broker?
No. The licence number it advertises resolves on the Vanuatu register to the same company that signs its client agreement, at the same registered address, so it is not wearing another firm's credentials or impersonating a known brand.
Is Stockity connected to Binomo?
They share a marketing channel. The partner programme linked from Stockity's own footer promotes Stockity, Binomo, Traditex and QuantaFund, and states that it is owned and operated by Horna Limited. That points to a common commercial group, and the two platforms run concurrently. The licensed trading entities are different companies, and we could not establish shared ownership of them.
Why does stockity.id send me to stockity1.id?
The main address forwards visitors to a numbered alternate domain. Numbered mirror domains are the standard way platforms keep serving users in markets where the original address is unreachable. Both addresses are the same operation, run by the same Vanuatu company.
What should I do if Stockity will not pay my withdrawal?
Put the complaint in writing to support, keep every reference number and screenshot, then escalate to the Vanuatu Financial Services Commission, which licenses the company. Also contact your bank or payment provider about a chargeback and report it to your national regulator. Never pay anyone an upfront fee to recover the funds.
What should I check before depositing with any platform like this?
Check that the licence number appears on the regulator's own register and names the same company that signs your contract. Check whether that regulator protects client money. Check whether the platform is authorised in your own country. Then test a small withdrawal before trusting it with a real balance.
What we recommend
The practical takeaway from everything above.
What we recommend to readers and to our own records.
- Do not deposit money you cannot afford to lose, and do not treat a Vanuatu licence as protection. There is no compensation scheme and no deposit guarantee behind it.
- Test a withdrawal early and small. Complete identity verification before you fund the account, deposit the minimum, and withdraw it back to the same method before adding anything more.
- Keep your own records. Save deposit references, payee details, timestamps and chat transcripts. The complaints that got traction all had that paperwork.
- Never pay a fee to release your own funds. No legitimate platform requires a further payment before it will pay you out, and anyone offering to recover lost funds for an upfront fee is running a second scam.
- If you are stuck: raise a formal complaint with the Vanuatu Financial Services Commission, which licenses Verte Securities Limited, and report the matter to your own national regulator and to your bank or payment provider, where a chargeback may still be possible.
- For our records: the status on file should move from no regulation to offshore, because the Vanuatu licence is genuine and active. The legal entity, registered address and country on file all need correcting, and the number 114137 on file should be reclassified from a licence to a Marshall Islands company registration.
