Wikilix records ALPHA TRADE as operating beyond the scope of its authorisation. That is a finding about the firm, not about this licence — the register’s own wording above is what states this entry’s standing.

None of these matches the name the register printed, so we do not say which one holds this licence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions about this licence

Answered from this register entry and the authority’s own record.

Most Popular Questions

Not on the current evidence. A registered Australian company and a licence number are meaningful, but there is no readable website, no platform, no funding process and no published terms. Better-documented Australian-regulated alternatives exist, and there is no informational cost to waiting until this operator publishes a working service.

Australian financial services rules require client money to be held in segregated accounts, but no client-money or banking disclosure from this operator could be read, and Australia runs no compensation scheme comparable to a deposit-guarantee fund for CFD losses. Segregation should be confirmed in writing before depositing.

No restricted-country list or client-onboarding jurisdiction list is published, so we cannot say. Australian-licensed derivative issuers are generally barred from onboarding United States residents, and an operator that accepts clients from anywhere without disclosing restrictions is a reason for caution.

The contact points on record are the phone number +61 (0)2 9037 3890 and the email cs@alphatrade.com.au. There is a LinkedIn company page and an account on X. No live chat, no support hours and no service-level commitment are published.

The corporate entity is long established: the Australian Business Register shows Alpha Trade Pty Ltd active since 28 April 2000, and the associated licence dates from 2003. The retail trading brand itself is presented as much younger, launched around 2020, so corporate age and brand age are not the same thing here.

No commission schedule is published, and no account-level pricing could be read. Any pricing claim you see quoted for this brand elsewhere should be checked against the broker's own signed client agreement before you fund an account.

The brand is presented as offering forex, commodities and digital-asset contracts for difference. No instrument counts, contract specifications or swap rates are published, so the breadth of the offering cannot be checked.

No deposit or withdrawal channels, fees, limits or processing times are published. Because no funding page could be read, we cannot say whether cards, bank transfers, e-wallets or crypto are accepted, and we cannot comment on withdrawal speed.

None could be confirmed. We found no MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5 or cTrader server, no proprietary web terminal and no mobile app download link attributable to the brand. For a broker, an unidentifiable trading platform is a material gap.

Not disclosed. No maximum leverage is published. Note that an Australian retail derivatives service is subject to Australian retail leverage limits, so any offer of very high leverage to Australian retail clients would itself be a warning sign.

Not disclosed. No minimum deposit figure is published anywhere we could read, so we have left the field empty rather than quote a number we could not source.

We found no proof of fraud, and the company behind the brand is genuinely registered in Australia. What we did find is an absence of everything a working broker publishes: no reachable website, no platform, no funding channels, no account terms and no fee schedule. That combination is high risk rather than confirmed fraud, so our verdict is high risk and unverified.

The operating legal entity is Alpha Trade Pty Ltd, an Australian private company, ACN 055 971 232 / ABN 16 055 971 232, registered address Level 16, 175 Pitt Street, Sydney, NSW 2000. The Australian Business Register shows the ABN active from 28 April 2000 and records an earlier name, INTEQ LIMITED. No individual owner or director is disclosed publicly by the brand.

An Australian Financial Services Licence numbered 237244 is held by ALPHA TRADE PTY LTD, effective 6 November 2003, covering derivatives and securities dealing and advisory work. WIKILIX confirmed the licence record but could not verify it directly with the regulator during this review, and could not reconcile it with any live retail trading service, because the broker's website served no content. Treat the brand as licence-holding but operationally unverified.

Licence 237244 was issued by Australia Securities & Investment Commission (ASIC), the financial authority for Australia.
