Finding

A money-broking licence issued by Malaysia's Labuan midshore regulator, permitting foreign exchange broking from the Federal Territory of Labuan. It is genuine regulation, but mid-tier. Client protection: Limited. Labuan FSA supervises licensees and publicly restricts those that breach capital or conduct rules, but there is no compensation scheme that repays retail clients if money goes missing..

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions about this licence

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

Most Popular Questions

Public accounts under the handle 'mypockettrader' exist on Facebook and Instagram. Social presence is a marketing channel and says nothing about licensing, custody of funds or whether withdrawals are honoured.

Stop sending further funds. Attempt a full withdrawal and keep dated screenshots of every request. Contact your card issuer, bank or wallet provider about a chargeback or payment recall, and report the matter to the financial regulator and police in your own country of residence. Never pay a fee that someone claims is needed to release your balance.

There is no evidence of any protection. Without a licence there is no segregated-account obligation, no capital requirement, no external auditor and no investor compensation scheme standing behind a balance held with this brand.

Not that we could find. It holds a Labuan company registration, number LL16603. Labuan also issues money-broking and securities licences through its financial services authority, and those are separate authorisations. A company number is not one of them, and it should never be read as permission to take client deposits.

The operating company was created on 11 February 2020 according to its registry record, giving the corporate entity roughly six years of existence. That is the age of the company, not evidence of six years of continuous, licensed trading operations, which we could not establish.

Unknown. The brand's terms, any restricted-countries page and the registration form could not be reached, so we hold no record of which jurisdictions it accepts or refuses. We publish no country policy rather than implying it restricts nobody.

We have not confirmed fraud, and we do not label it as such. What we can say is that the brand holds no verified licence and its website is offline, which leaves a prospective client with nothing verifiable to rely on and no protected route to their money. Our rating is high risk with the regulatory position unverified.

No deposit or withdrawal channel, fee, limit or processing time is published anywhere we could reach, so none is listed here. If you hold a balance, submit a withdrawal request through whatever channel still answers, keep written records of every request and response, and contact your card issuer or bank about a chargeback or payment trace if there is no response.

No platform is documented. We found no evidence of MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, cTrader or a proprietary terminal being offered, and no download link we could verify.

Unknown. No leverage cap, spread schedule or commission structure is published on any page we could open, so this profile carries no figures for them rather than figures we could not source.

Not disclosed anywhere we could read. With the official website unreachable, the brand publishes no account funding minimum that we can quote, and we will not estimate one.

No. At the time of this review the domain www.pocket-trader.com did not resolve at all, in a plain request or in a full browser. That is different from a site that merely blocks automated visitors: the address itself no longer points anywhere. Anyone who cannot reach the site to log in should treat access to their funds as at risk.

The operating entity is Pocket Trader (Malaysia) Limited, a Labuan company limited by shares with registration number LL16603, registered in the Federal Territory of Labuan, Malaysia. Its Legal Entity Identifier record, validated at the Corporate Online Registry of the Labuan Financial Services Authority, shows the entity as active. Ownership is reported to the registry as natural persons, whose identities are not published there.

No. We found no financial services licence for Pocket Trader or for the company behind it, and no licence number is published on any page we could reach. The company's Labuan registration is a corporate filing only. Trading with an unlicensed operator means there is no regulator to complain to, no requirement that client money be segregated and no compensation scheme.
