Verification note

Claimed on the company's own regulation page as an authorised Italian branch of the French entity, consistent with the Milan office the company publishes on its contact page. No licence or reference number is published for it, and it was not checked against the authority's own register in this research.

Nobody at Wikilix has looked this licence up on the official register yet. Everything above comes from the record as supplied; treat it as a claim until you have checked it yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions about this licence

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

Most Popular Questions

The company publishes a complaints handling document and a best execution policy on its regulation page, and a compliance contact address. A counterparty's formal recourse would run through the authority supervising the entity it contracted with, which the company identifies as the French AMF and ACPR for its operating entity. Retail investor compensation schemes are not relevant here, since the firm does not take retail client money.

About fifteen years. The company says it was co-founded in 2011, and that is corroborated by the incorporation records of its United Kingdom companies, dated 24 June 2011 and 15 July 2011. The French entity that now operates the trading venue was created on 5 November 2018 and took the facility over on 1 January 2021.

By email at contact@griffinmarkets.com for general enquiries or compliance@griffinmarkets.com for regulatory matters, or through the form on its contact page. It publishes three offices: Paris on +33 1 78 96 81 70, London on +44 (0) 207 808 4240, and Milan at Piazzale Biancamano 8. A separate market data desk is reachable on +44 (0) 20 7808 4213. There is no live chat.

The company publishes no country restriction list and no accepted-country list anywhere on its site, including in its terms of use. That silence should not be read as acceptance of any particular jurisdiction: there is no retail onboarding form to enforce a country policy in the first place, and wholesale counterparties are admitted under negotiated documentation rather than through a web signup.

Griffin Markets publishes a fee schedule covering financial instruments executed on its Organised Trading Facility, linked from its regulation page and most recently dated November 2025. There is no retail spread or commission table, because there is no retail offering, and pricing for bespoke arrangements is not published.

You cannot, as a retail client. Griffin Markets publishes no payment methods, no deposit page and no withdrawal terms, and the paths where a broker would normally put them do not exist on its site. It is a trading venue and intermediary, not a firm that holds client balances.

Standardised contracts in United Kingdom and Continental European gas and power, together with more complex bespoke structured arrangements and block futures trade registration. The company publishes a list of financial instruments executed on its Organised Trading Facility. Contracts for the physical supply of gas and power executed through the facility are not classified as financial instruments under the C6 carve-out of MiFID II.

The venue runs a hybrid model combining voice broking desks with an electronic platform. The electronic component is GlobalVision, the Trayport platform, which the company says is heavily integrated with its own back office systems and with the major European energy exchanges for straight-through processing of cleared trades. MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5 and cTrader are not offered, and there is no downloadable consumer terminal.

None is offered or published. Griffin Markets arranges and executes wholesale gas and power trades between professional counterparties and does not provide leveraged retail trading accounts, so no maximum leverage figure exists for it.

There is none, because there is no client account to deposit into. Griffin Markets does not onboard retail clients and publishes no account opening, deposit or funding page. Counterparties on its venue are professional firms admitted under the terms of its OTF rule book rather than depositors.

The group holding company is Griffin Markets Group Limited, registered in England under number 07706155 and incorporated on 15 July 2011. The business was co-founded in 2011 by Andrew Stephens, who is chairman, and Simon Davidson, who is an executive director. Nick Jackson is chief executive officer and Carlos Gutiérrez is European managing director and head of compliance for Continental Europe.

Nothing found in this research suggests so. The company's corporate record is fully traceable: four group companies appear in official registers, the French operating entity is active under SIREN 843904954, and its Legal Entity Identifier record carries the same market identifier code the company publishes on its own site. The realistic risk with a name like this is the opposite one, that someone else uses these genuine credentials to front a retail forex offer the company has nothing to do with.

Griffin Markets states on its regulation page that its operating entity, Griffin Markets Europe SAS, is regulated in France by the AMF and the ACPR under REGAFI number 78992, with authorised branches in the United Kingdom under the FCA and in Italy under Consob, and an Introducing Broker registration with the NFA in the United States. Those authorisations are claimed rather than confirmed here, because the authorities' own registers were not opened during this research. Whatever they cover, they are wholesale intermediary permissions and not retail forex licences.

No. Griffin Markets is a wholesale energy broker and trading venue operator, dealing in over-the-counter United Kingdom and Continental European gas and power for professional market participants. Its own site describes it as an energy market focussed intermediary that operates an Organised Trading Facility. It offers no currency pairs, no contracts for difference and no retail trading service of any kind.
