It holds no valid licence, and our investigation found it is high risk and its claims could not be confirmed.
We checked USK MARKETS on 2026-11-11 across its regulation, company record, client terms, trading offer and service, and could verify 67% of its record. It holds no valid licence: every licence we knew of has ended or could not be found on its register. The score of 32 is what the checked record adds up to; nothing held it down. What would move the score: site integrity, policy risk, critical clauses. Our published investigation found it is high risk and its claims could not be confirmed, with 5.7 years of track record. Its client terms have not been reviewed yet.

Broker Summary
What Wikilix has recorded about USK MARKETS: its history, the licences it holds, its trading conditions and its fees.
USK MARKETS Broker Overview
USK MARKETS is the trading brand of USK Markets Group Ltd, a company registered in the British Virgin Islands that gives its working office as Qingdao, Shandong, in mainland China. It offers foreign exchange, spot gold and silver, spot crude oil, stock indices and share CFDs through a single platform, MetaTrader 4. The business is run in Chinese and directed at Greater China, Southeast Asia and Japan, and it is reached through two mirrored websites, and uskco.com, with the client portal on the second of the two.
USK MARKETS Regulation and License
USK Markets Group Ltd holds one financial licence: a Forex Trading License (EP) numbered BFX2026007, issued in the Comoros by the Mwali International Services Authority (MISA) and running from 13 January 2026 to 13 January 2027. It authorises foreign exchange, futures, derivatives and options trading, and it was in force when this profile was compiled. MISA is an offshore licensing authority that operates no public licence lookup, so a prospective client cannot check the number for themselves.
The company's own pages do not mention that licence. Its page headed Regulatory Licence carries only general statements about fairness and about complying with the law where the client lives, and names no authority, no number and no jurisdiction. A separate page headed Financial Regulation states that the company is strictly regulated by a Canadian regulator described as MSB, and that it works with clearing firms including LMAX, which it correctly notes is regulated by the UK Financial Conduct Authority. Neither statement supports a claim of regulation over USK MARKETS. A money services business registration is an anti money laundering registration rather than authorisation to hold client money or deal in derivatives, no such registration number is published, and a liquidity provider's own licence does not extend to the broker that uses it.
Is USK MARKETS Regulated?
Only in the weakest sense the word allows. The single licence that exists is the Comoros one, which is real but sits at the bottom tier of global regulation: it brings no compensation scheme, no client money rules that are audited, and no complaints body a client could escalate to. In the markets USK MARKETS actually sells to, it holds no authorisation at all, so a client in those countries is dealing with a firm their own regulator cannot reach.
USK Markets Group Ltd
The company publishes a British Virgin Islands registration number, 1913269, and a registered office at Sea Meadow House, Road Town, Tortola. The British Virgin Islands registry publishes no free public company record, so that number could not be inspected against the register and no incorporation date is established. The registered office is an address of registration rather than a place of business; the only working address the company gives is the Qingdao office. No director, officer or owner is named anywhere on the site.
Is USK MARKETS Safe?
The evidence does not support treating it as safe. Regulation exists but offers a client no practical protection, the operating company could not be confirmed on any official register, and the site publishes no client agreement, no terms and conditions and no withdrawal policy, so the conditions under which money can be taken out are not disclosed before a deposit is made. The company states that client funds are held separately and that it holds trust arrangements with major investment banks, but it names no bank, no trustee and no auditor, so that assurance cannot be checked.
USK MARKETS Account Types
No account comparison is published. The company describes a single live account, advertised as carrying zero commission and zero fees, and a demo account which its FAQ says is identical to the live account apart from the money being real. Minimum deposit is not stated anywhere on the site, and there are no named tiers, no account currencies and no stop out or margin call levels.
USK MARKETS Spreads, Commissions and Fees
The company advertises a zero commission, zero fee account and describes its spreads only as low and competitive. It publishes no spread table, no fee schedule and no swap table, so the actual cost of trading cannot be established before opening an account. Its FAQ does confirm that overnight interest is applied to positions daily at 17:05 US Eastern time, which means accounts are not swap free.
USK MARKETS Leverage
The headline figure, repeated on the homepage and the company advantages page, is up to 100:1. The CFD page quotes different ceilings by asset class, being up to 50:1 on commodities and up to 200:1 on index CFDs. The site does not reconcile the three figures.
USK MARKETS Trading Platforms
MetaTrader 4 is the only platform, offered as a branded Windows download plus the standard MetaQuotes apps for Android and iOS. There is no MetaTrader 5, no web terminal and no proprietary platform. The company names a GOLD-i MT4 bridge on one page and an OMX bridge on another.
USK MARKETS Deposits and Withdrawals
There is no deposits and withdrawals page. The only funding detail published anywhere is a promise that a withdrawal request will reach the client's nominated bank card within 36 hours. No deposit method, no fee, no minimum or maximum amount and no processing condition is disclosed.
USK MARKETS Support
Support is by email at support@uskmarketsgroup.com and by a mainland China telephone number, +86 4008017228. The company advertises cover 24 hours a day, seven days a week. There is no live chat, no support ticket system and no official social media account. The client portal offers eight interface languages, led by Simplified Chinese.
USK MARKETS Pros and Cons
On the positive side, a licence does exist and was in force; the platform is the familiar MetaTrader 4 rather than an unknown in house terminal; instrument coverage across forex, metals, oil and indices is reasonable for a small broker; and the company publishes a registration number, a registered office, a working office and a telephone number rather than hiding behind a web form.
Against that, the licence is offshore and unverifiable by the client; the site's own regulation pages make a claim of Canadian supervision that a money services registration does not support; there is no client agreement, no terms and conditions and no published withdrawal policy; costs are not disclosed; the legal notice page is another company's document; and the leverage figures contradict each other across pages.
USK MARKETS Review and Assessment
USK MARKETS is a small, Chinese language MetaTrader 4 operation whose regulatory position is far weaker than its own website implies. The one real licence comes from an offshore authority that cannot be queried and offers no recourse, while the pages a prospective client would read to check regulation either name no licence at all or describe an anti money laundering registration as strict regulation. The most important thing to settle before funding an account is not the spread or the leverage but the absence of any published contract: with no client agreement and no withdrawal terms, the conditions governing a client's money are decided by the company rather than written down.

A self-styled offshore authority in the Comoros. The Comoros central bank has publicly stated it is a fictitious entity. It is not a recognised financial regulator and provides no deposit protection. Client protection: None in practice.
Client protection under this licence
No compensation scheme
No complaints route
These are the rules MISA sets for the firms it licenses. They are not a statement about how USK MARKETS applies them, or about which of its companies would hold your account.
A licence record describes what an authority published. It is not an endorsement, and Wikilix does not issue authorisations.
1Site-wide footer disclaimer, carried on every page including https://www.uskmarketsgroup.com/ and https://www.uskmarketsgroup.com/list/16.html: the information on the official site is stated not to apply to residents or clients from the United States, Singapore, Hong Kong, North Korea and Iran, and use of it by anyone in those jurisdictions is said to breach local law. Read as US, SG, HK, KP and IR.
2The disclaimer names five jurisdictions individually rather than a category, so all five are recorded as confirmed and nothing was inferred or expanded beyond them.
3The registration form at https://trader.uskco.com/trade/register collects an email address, password, optional invitation code and interface language only. It has no country or nationality field, and no country list is served by the page or any of its scripts, so onboarding applies no jurisdiction filter of its own and no whitelist can be recorded.
4The onboarding form offers eight interface languages, being Simplified Chinese as the default, Traditional Chinese, English, Malay, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian and Japanese, which indicates the markets served but is not a statement of accepted jurisdictions and sets no code.
5No client agreement, terms and conditions, AML policy or restricted countries page exists on the site. The legal notice at https://www.uskmarketsgroup.com/list/10.html is a privacy statement that names a different company throughout and contains no jurisdiction restrictions.

Company Registration
USK MARKETS names USK Markets Group Ltd as the operating company. We could not confirm that registration on the registry.
Yes. The company's FAQ states that the demo account is identical to a live account in every respect apart from trading with real money. It is the only account variant the site describes beyond the single live account.
There is no way to confirm that they are. The company states that client money is held separately and that it maintains trust arrangements with major investment banks, but it names no bank, no trustee and no auditor. Its Comoros licence carries no compensation scheme and no client money rules that are audited, so there is no external backstop if the firm fails or refuses to pay.
By email at support@uskmarketsgroup.com or by telephone on +86 4008017228, a mainland China number. The company advertises cover 24 hours a day, seven days a week. There is no live chat, no ticket system and no official social media account, and the contact page carries nothing but the email address.
Its footer disclaimer says the site is not directed at residents or clients of the United States, Singapore, Hong Kong, North Korea or Iran. In practice nothing enforces that: the registration form asks only for an email address, a password and an interface language, and has no country field at all. The portal offers eight languages led by Simplified Chinese, which indicates the markets it targets.
Foreign exchange, spot gold and silver, spot crude oil, stock indices and share CFDs. The company states it offers more than ten major stock indices and publishes contract specifications for gold (XAUUSD, 100 ounce lot) and silver (XAGUSD, 5000 ounce lot). No cryptocurrency offering is described.
MetaTrader 4 only. A branded Windows installer is offered for download, with the standard MetaQuotes apps for Android and iOS. There is no MetaTrader 5, no web terminal and no proprietary platform.
The company promises 36 hours to the client's nominated bank card. That is a marketing commitment on its company advantages page rather than a term in a published contract, because no client agreement or withdrawal policy exists on the site. There are unresolved reports of clients being unable to withdraw at all, which the company disputes.
The site has no deposits and withdrawals page, and no deposit method is described anywhere on it. The only funding detail published is a promise that a withdrawal request will reach the client's nominated bank card within 36 hours. No fee, minimum, maximum or processing condition is disclosed, and no withdrawal policy is published.
That cannot be established before opening an account. The company advertises a zero commission, zero fee account and describes its spreads only as low and competitive, but it publishes no spread table, no fee schedule and no swap table. Its FAQ does confirm that overnight interest is charged on positions daily at 17:05 US Eastern time, so accounts are not swap free.
Up to 200:1, but the site quotes three different ceilings and does not reconcile them. The headline figure on the homepage and the company advantages page is up to 100:1. The CFD page separately quotes up to 50:1 on commodities and up to 200:1 on index CFDs.
The company does not publish one. No minimum deposit figure appears on the homepage, the account opening page, the FAQ or anywhere else on the site, and there is no account comparison table that would normally carry it. You would have to ask before depositing.
The company behind the brand is USK Markets Group Ltd, which publishes British Virgin Islands registration number 1913269 and a registered office at Sea Meadow House, Road Town, Tortola. No director, shareholder or officer is named anywhere on the site. The British Virgin Islands registry publishes no free public company record, so the number could not be checked against the register.
We rate it as likely to be one, though the operation itself is real rather than a pure fiction. The company runs genuine MetaTrader 4 servers and holds a genuine offshore licence. What pushes the assessment is that its own website misrepresents its regulatory position, its legal notice is another company's document, it publishes no client agreement or withdrawal terms at all, and there are unresolved reports of clients being unable to withdraw.
Only by an offshore authority. USK Markets Group Ltd holds Forex Trading License (EP) number BFX2026007 from the Mwali International Services Authority in the Comoros, valid from 13 January 2026 to 13 January 2027, and that licence was confirmed to be in force. It holds no authorisation in any of the markets it actually sells to, and the Comoros authority runs no public lookup, so a client cannot check the number independently.
