FCA licence 780026

The firm publishes no list of restricted or accepted countries. Its documents say only that the site's information is not intended for distribution where that would breach local law, and the registration form's country selector is an unfiltered list of the whole world. In practice a UK-regulated firm introducing to a UK dealer will apply restrictions that are not written down anywhere public, so ask before applying.

The site publishes no account tiers, no comparison table and no pricing page, so WIKILIX lists no account types for this broker. That is an absence of disclosure rather than evidence that only one account exists.

The site states no withdrawal processing time, and WIKILIX found no published service standard for any channel. Because the trading account sits in a StoneX-provided environment, withdrawal timing is likely to follow that provider's process rather than a schedule KQ Markets publishes itself.

The payment channels named on the site are Visa, MasterCard, Skrill, PayPal, Neteller and bank transfer. No fee, limit or processing time is published for any of them in either direction, which is a meaningful gap: confirm withdrawal fees and timings in writing before funding an account.

Neither is published. There is no spread table, no commission schedule and no account comparison anywhere on the site, so pricing can only be seen inside the trading environment after onboarding. A 50 percent discount on futures roll-over fees is the only pricing concession stated in public.

The site advertises more than 13,500 instruments across eight asset classes: shares, indices, forex (84 or more currency pairs), commodities, gold and silver, interest rates, bonds and ETFs.

Three routes are offered: a browser-based Web Trader with TradingView-powered charting, MetaTrader 5 for Windows, Mac and smartphones, and the broker's own iOS and Android apps. MetaTrader 4 is not offered. The web platform is served from a StoneX-operated address, consistent with the introducing arrangement the site describes.

The site does not publish a maximum leverage figure. It states only that CFDs and spread bets are leveraged products and that retail positions are closed automatically at 50 percent of the margin requirement. Ask the firm in writing for the leverage applicable to your account and jurisdiction.

The homepage invites clients to place their first trades with a minimum deposit of GBP 100. No per-channel minimum or maximum is published for any payment method.

Nothing found in this review supports a scam finding. The operating company exists, is active on the UK register, trades from a real London address, publishes a working telephone number and email, names its regulator and register number, and openly discloses that execution is provided by a large FCA-authorised counterparty. The fair criticism is disclosure, not honesty: the site withholds almost every commercial term a trader needs to compare it with rivals.

The brand is operated by KQ Markets Limited, registered in England and Wales under company number 10585199. WIKILIX confirmed the entry on Companies House: the company is active, was incorporated on 26 January 2017, was previously called KQ Holding Limited until October 2019, and its registered office is 1 St. Katharines Way, London, England, E1W 1UN, the same address the website publishes.

KQ Markets states on its own site that it is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority under register number 780026. The site also discloses that CFD and securities trading is provided by StoneX Financial Ltd, which holds FCA register number 446717. WIKILIX could not confirm the exact permission scope attached to number 780026 against the regulator's own record during this review, so treat the number as the firm's published claim and check it on the regulator's register before depositing.
