Vanto

More than 60 currency pairs across majors, minors and exotics; 9 global index CFDs including the DAX 40, FTSE 100, CAC 40 and Euro Stoxx 50; commodities including spot gold, silver, crude oil and natural gas; and 11 cryptocurrency CFDs including Bitcoin and Ethereum. All of it is CFDs, so you never own the underlying asset.

Not long. The site's own structured data gives a founding year of 2024, and the Saint Lucia entity was registered in 2025 (its number, 2025-00711, carries the year). So this is roughly a one-to-two-year-old operation.

A short history is not a red flag by itself, but it does mean there is no multi-year record of paying clients out through stressed markets. Treat it as an unproven firm rather than an established one.

Nothing found points to a scam. The licence number checks out on a certificate showing the correct licensed entity, the company number on the site matches an official corporate record, both legal entities are named with real registered addresses, the founders are named, and the broker volunteers the awkward fact that its Saint Lucia entity is unregulated rather than hiding it. That candour is unusual and counts in its favour.

The real risk here is not deception but structure: an offshore-only licence, no compensation scheme if the firm fails, 1:500 leverage, and a short operating history. Those are reasons to limit how much you deposit, not evidence of fraud.

The registration form requires applicants to confirm they are not a resident of the United States, Iran or North Korea before the application will proceed, and the footer adds that the site is not intended for US residents or for use anywhere that would breach local law.

Beyond those three, Vanto publishes no restricted-countries list. Its local payment channels in Malaysian ringgit, Philippine pesos, Indonesian rupiah, Vietnamese dong and Indian rupees show where it is actively marketing, though an available payment channel is not the same as confirmed acceptance.

Cards, wire transfers and local payment channels are published at 0% commission in both directions. For crypto the broker states that the commission varies rather than publishing a rate, so treat crypto funding as having an undisclosed cost and ask before you send.

Note that a zero broker fee does not stop your own bank, card issuer or the blockchain network charging you separately.

The broker states within one working day for cards, wire transfers, local payment channels and crypto withdrawals, and describes withdrawals as same-day in most cases subject to the payment method. Minimums are $25 on cards and wires and 100 USDT on crypto.

Those are the broker's own published terms. Vanto is a young brand, so there is not yet the long public payment record that would let anyone judge how consistently the stated timings are met in practice.

MetaTrader 5 only, on the Vanto-Trade server. It is available as a browser WebTrader, as Windows and macOS desktop builds, and as Android and iOS apps. Expert Advisors and hedging are permitted on both account types, and the broker offers MAM and copy-trading tools for money managers. MetaTrader 4 and cTrader are not offered.

Two pricing models. The Standard account is spreads-only: FX spreads from 1.6 pips, gold from 0.27, and no separate commission. The Raw account charges FX spreads from 0.0 pips plus $3.50 per lot per side.

The from-figures are best-case quotes on the most liquid instruments at the most liquid times, not averages, so budget for wider spreads around news and at session gaps.

Up to 1:500 on forex and metals, 1:100 on indices and 1:10 on cryptocurrency CFDs, on both account types. The stop-out level is 50%.

Leverage at 1:500 is far above what onshore regulators permit retail clients, and it magnifies losses exactly as much as gains. Position sizing matters more than the headline number.

$25 for the Standard account and $100 for the Raw account. Cards, wire transfers and the regional local-payment channels also carry a $25 minimum per transaction; crypto funding has a 100 USDT minimum.

The website states it is operated jointly by V Global Markets Limited (Seychelles, company number 8438124-1, registered at Office 12, 3rd Floor, IMAD Complex, Ile Du Port, Mahe) and Vanto Trade Global LTD (Saint Lucia, International Business Company number 2025-00711, registered at Ground Floor, The Sotheby Building, Rodney Village, Rodney Bay, Gros-Islet).

The Seychelles company is confirmed on an official record: its GLEIF Legal Entity Identifier is 391200E1KGKLKLBJ1Z52, its status is active, and its company number is corroborated against the Seychelles Business Registry as 8438124-1, matching the number the broker publishes. The site also names two co-founders, Arthur Kbejan and Piotr Niemidomski.

Partly. The operating company V Global Markets Limited holds securities dealer licence SD236 from the Financial Services Authority of Seychelles, and that licence is real and in force. It is an offshore, low-tier licence, so the protections are much thinner than under an onshore regulator: there is no statutory compensation scheme for client money and no mandated negative balance protection.

The second company behind the site, Vanto Trade Global LTD in Saint Lucia, holds no financial licence. The broker discloses this itself, stating that the Saint Lucia authority does not regulate, supervise or license CFD brokers and has not reviewed its documents. A Saint Lucia IBC registration is company paperwork, not supervision.
