What we checked

This authorisation is in force but limited — it does not carry the same protections as a full trading licence.

Finding

Vanuatu's statutory financial regulator. It issues Financial Dealers Licences that permit offshore brokers to deal in derivatives, with light ongoing supervision of retail forex conduct. Client protection: No compensation scheme and no statutory protection of client deposits. No realistic route to redress from Vanuatu if funds are not returned.. Effective: 12 Jul 2022.

VFSC is classed as an offshore regime. An offshore registration can be entirely legitimate, but it typically means lower capital requirements, no compensation scheme, and a complaint route that is harder to use from abroad.

Wikilix records VTGM as having no regulation on file. That is a finding about the firm, not about this licence — the register’s own wording above is what states this entry’s standing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions about this licence

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

Most Popular Questions

Attempt a full withdrawal immediately and in writing, keep every statement, transfer receipt and message, and raise a chargeback or recall with the bank or card issuer that sent the funds. Report the loss to the police and to the financial regulator where you live, and be wary of any service that offers to recover the money for an upfront fee.

The operating company dates from 27 May 2021, so under five years of corporate history, of which the last stretch runs after its business registration was cancelled in April 2025. Any claim of a founding date substantially earlier than 2021 is not supported by the Australian company record.

The contact details on record are the telephone number +61 4 8882 6516, the email address info@valktrade.com, and an address at 'Australia Square Tower Building' Suite 1 Level 48, 264-278 George Street, Sydney NSW 2000. None of these has been confirmed to be answered.

The brand publishes https://vt-gm.com as its site. That address no longer resolves. Two related domains exist, valktrade.com and valktrade.com.au, and neither serves a readable public site.

No Australian financial authorisation was identified. The company is registered in Australia and its main business location is recorded as NSW 2000, but corporate registration in Australia is separate from an Australian financial services licence, and the company's business registration has in any case been cancelled.

Nothing establishes that they are. Segregation of client money is normally a condition imposed by a financial regulator, and no regulator was found to supervise this operation.

Withdrawal methods, fees, limits and processing times are not published anywhere verifiable. With no licence and no active registered company, there is also no regulator or dispute scheme a refused withdrawal could be escalated to.

No platform could be confirmed. The brand publishes no reachable platform page, and platform claims circulating elsewhere are not supported by any source this profile accepts.

No maximum leverage could be confirmed. Because the operation holds no identified licence, no regulator's leverage cap applies to it either, which is itself the more important point for a prospective client.

Not disclosed anywhere that could be verified. The brand's own website is no longer reachable, so no minimum deposit figure can be stated. Treat any minimum quoted to you privately as unverified.

No confirmed instance of fraud was identified, so calling it a proven scam would go beyond the evidence. What is established is that it has no financial licence, its operating company's registration is cancelled and its site is gone, which is why it is classed as high risk and unverified rather than legitimate.

There is no evidence that it is. The company's Australian business number was cancelled from 23 April 2025, and the website the brand publishes as its own no longer resolves at all. Both facts point to an operation that has wound down rather than one accepting clients.

The brand is associated with VALK TRADE (AUS) PTY LTD, an Australian private company with ACN 650 543 632 and ABN 16 650 543 632. It was first registered as VALK TRADE PTY LTD on 27 May 2021 and took its current name on 1 January 2022.

No. No financial licence, licence number or licensed entity could be established for VTGM in any jurisdiction. The only official record found is a company registration in Australia, and a company registration is not financial supervision: it grants no permission to hold client money or to deal in foreign exchange.

Licence 700557 was issued by Vanuatu Financial Services Commission (VFSC), the financial authority for Vanuatu.
VTGM holds this VFSC licence. A licence on record means the authority published an entry; it is not an endorsement.
We located this entry on the VFSC register. Note that confirming a register ENTRY is not the same as confirming a live licence — the register’s own wording on this page is what states its current standing.
Wikilix rates VFSC tier 4, the lowest band. A registration here says little on its own about client protection.
Yes, VFSC is classed as an offshore regime. That can be a legitimate registration, but it usually means lower capital requirements, no compensation scheme, and a complaint route that is harder to use from abroad.
