Broker Summary
What Wikilix has recorded about VFSMarkets: its history, the licences it holds, its trading conditions and its fees.
VFSMarkets Broker Overview
VFSMarkets is a retail forex and CFD brand recorded as the trading name of Vantage International Group LLC, a company registered in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. It operates without confirmed financial regulation. Its entry point is 100 US dollars, with leverage of up to 1:200 on its entry-level account and four documented funding channels.
The brand's website is no longer reachable. As at 16 October 2026 neither the www host nor the bare vfsmarkets.com domain returns a site, and the two further hosts held on the record, a client portal and a mobile subdomain, return nothing either. The account terms for VFSMarkets are therefore the last known ones, not figures re-read from its own pages.
VFSMarkets Regulation and License
No licence from a financial regulator is on record for VFSMarkets or for its operating company. The single number held for the brand, LLC Number 830 LLC 2021, is its company registration in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and not a trading licence.
That registration has been confirmed. Vantage International Group LLC is listed on the St. Vincent and the Grenadines Financial Services Authority entity register under company number 830, checked on 15 October 2026. A registration of that kind establishes that a company was formed and exists on the register. It carries no supervision of client money, no conduct rules and no compensation scheme, and although the register is kept by the Financial Services Authority, the entry is a corporate one rather than a financial licence.
WIKILIX therefore classifies VFSMarkets as having no confirmed financial regulation, which is the status its profile carries.
Is VFSMarkets Regulated?
No. There is no confirmed financial regulation for VFSMarkets in any jurisdiction. The company behind it is confirmed on a corporate register, which is a different thing: it says the company exists, not that its trading activity is licensed or supervised.
Vantage International Group LLC
Vantage International Group LLC is the operating company recorded behind the VFSMarkets brand. Its Saint Vincent and the Grenadines registration, company number 830, was incorporated on 1 February 2021 and gives a registered address of Suite 305, Griffith Corporate Center, Kingstown, Beachmont, with Wilfred Services Ltd as registered agent.
A second registration for a company of the same name sits on the record as well, numbered 801120212 and registered in the United States. The two entries are in different jurisdictions, and neither of them amounts to financial regulation.
Is VFSMarkets Safe?
The record offers no basis for treating VFSMarkets as safe to fund, notwithstanding that its operating company is confirmed on the Saint Vincent and the Grenadines register. It has no confirmed financial regulation, so there is no authority to which a client could escalate a dispute over withheld funds, and its website is no longer reachable, so its current terms, its client area and its legal documents cannot be read.
Anyone holding a balance or an open position is left with the contact details on record rather than a working site, and should keep their own copies of statements and transfer confirmations.
VFSMarkets Account Types
Four tiers are on record. Classic is the entry point, at 100 US dollars with leverage of up to 1:200. The Islamic tier is recorded at 200 US dollars with 1:100, Pro at 5,000 US dollars with 1:100, and VIP at 50,000 US dollars with 1:30.
VFSMarkets Leverage
The highest leverage recorded for VFSMarkets is 1:200, and it sits on the entry-level Classic account rather than across the range. The Islamic and Pro tiers are recorded at 1:100 and the VIP tier at 1:30, so the account with the largest minimum deposit carries the tightest leverage of the four.
VFSMarkets Deposits and Withdrawals
Four funding channels are on record: credit and debit card, Trustly, Neteller and wire transfer, each with a minimum of 100 US dollars. Deposits and withdrawals have to be made from an account or card in the trading account holder's own name, which rules out funding by a third party. A complete fee schedule is not established for all four channels, so no transfer should be assumed to be free.
VFSMarkets Support
The contact routes on record are a Swiss telephone number, +41.41.519.0070, and two email addresses, info@vfsmarkets.com and support@vfsmarkets.com, with English the only language recorded. Facebook, X and Instagram profiles are also on record. No support hours are established, and the telephone number and email addresses are the only routes that do not depend on the website.
VFSMarkets Pros and Cons
On the record as it stands, the points in the broker's favour are an operating company confirmed on its home register, a low entry point of 100 US dollars, a four-tier account range and four documented funding channels covering both cards and wire transfer.
Against it: no confirmed financial regulation; a company registration number standing in place of a trading licence; and a website that is no longer reachable on any of the hosts held for it, leaving no way to read current terms or reach a client area.
VFSMarkets Review and Assessment
VFSMarkets presents as a conventional four-tier forex and CFD offering with a 100 US dollar entry point, and its operating company is a real one, confirmed on the Saint Vincent and the Grenadines register in October 2026. The two things that matter most before an account is funded are still absent. There is no confirmed financial regulation behind it, and the website it published is no longer reachable, so there is nothing to check its terms against and no client area to log into.
The practical consequence is that there is no live offering here to assess. Anyone with money still at the firm should use the telephone number and email addresses on record and keep their own transaction records.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about VFSMarkets
Contact the firm directly, since its website cannot be reached. The routes on record are the telephone number +41.41.519.0070 and the email addresses info@vfsmarkets.com and support@vfsmarkets.com.
Keep your own copies of statements, deposit confirmations and any correspondence, because they are the only records you will hold while the site stays down.
Three things on the record bear on that question. VFSMarkets has no confirmed financial regulation, so there is no authority a client could escalate a dispute to; the only number held for it is a company registration rather than a trading licence, although that registration is confirmed on the Saint Vincent and the Grenadines entity register; and none of the three hosts recorded for its website returns a site.
WIKILIX does not record VFSMarkets as safe to fund. Anyone with a balance still at the firm should use the contact details on record and keep their own copies of statements and transfer confirmations.
VFSMarkets is the trading brand of Vantage International Group LLC, registered in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines under company number 830 and incorporated on 1 February 2021. That registration is confirmed on the Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Financial Services Authority entity register, which gives a registered address of Suite 305, Griffith Corporate Center, Kingstown, Beachmont, with Wilfred Services Ltd as registered agent.
A second registration for a company of the same name, numbered 801120212, is held on the record against the United States. A confirmed company registration shows only that the company exists: it is not a trading licence and brings no financial supervision.
Four tiers are on record: Classic, Islamic, Pro and VIP. Classic is the entry point at 100 US dollars with leverage of up to 1:200, Islamic is recorded at 200 US dollars with 1:100, Pro at 5,000 US dollars with 1:100 and VIP at 50,000 US dollars with 1:30.
These figures were not re-checked for this update, because vfsmarkets.com does not currently resolve to a website.
100 US dollars, which is the minimum recorded for the entry-level Classic account and the figure held as the broker's overall minimum. The other tiers ask for more: 200 US dollars on the Islamic account, 5,000 on the Pro account and 50,000 on the VIP account.
No. As at 16 October 2026 vfsmarkets.com does not resolve to any website, on either the www host or the bare domain, and the two further hosts held on the record, a client portal and a mobile subdomain, return nothing either.
Nothing is served on any of them, so there is no live site on which account terms, funding pages or legal documents can be read. The contact routes on record do not depend on the website.
The contact routes on record for VFSMarkets are a telephone number, +41.41.519.0070, and two email addresses, info@vfsmarkets.com and support@vfsmarkets.com, with English the only language recorded. Facebook, X and Instagram profiles are also on record.
No support hours are established, and vfsmarkets.com does not currently resolve to a website, so any help centre or chat hosted on it cannot be reached.
The highest leverage on record for VFSMarkets is 1:200, and it applies to the entry-level Classic account rather than to every account. The other tiers on record are lower: 1:100 on the Islamic and Pro accounts and 1:30 on the VIP account.
The tier with the largest minimum deposit therefore carries the tightest leverage, so check the figure for the specific account you intend to open.
Four funding channels are on record for VFSMarkets: credit and debit card, Trustly, Neteller and wire transfer, each carrying a minimum deposit of 100 US dollars. Deposits and withdrawals have to be made from an account or card in the trading account holder's own name.
A complete fee schedule is not established for all four channels, so no transfer should be assumed to be free. The domain vfsmarkets.com does not currently resolve to a website, so the current funding terms cannot be read from the broker's own pages.
No. WIKILIX records VFSMarkets as having no confirmed financial regulation, and no licence from a financial regulator is on record for the brand or its operating company.
It is registered in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. The number held for it, LLC Number 830 LLC 2021, is company registration 830, confirmed on the Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Financial Services Authority entity register on 15 October 2026. A corporate entry of that kind is not a trading licence and brings no supervision of client money, no conduct rules and no compensation scheme.
