Frequently asked questions

Is IC Markets regulated?

FXBrokerAlert has not established which legal entity would onboard a particular client or whether any recorded permissions cover that client and product. Verify the exact contracting entity and its current permissions directly with the relevant regulator.

Which regulators are referenced for IC Markets?

The cited source records reference ASIC, CySEC for specific named entities or record searches. A reference does not establish which entity serves a particular client, the scope of its permissions, or group-wide authorisation.

Is IC Markets considered low risk?

FXBrokerAlert does not have enough verified evidence to assign a risk level. The risk factors in this file are unknown. External review scores are not risk ratings.

Which trading platforms does IC Markets offer?

Current platform availability has not been independently verified for the relevant legal entity and region.

What is IC Markets’s minimum deposit?

Not independently verified. A deposit figure requires a dated, applicable source for the relevant account and region.

Does IC Markets support MT4 or MT5?

MT4 and MT5 availability has not been independently verified for the relevant legal entity and region.

How can I verify IC Markets’s regulation?

Find the exact contracting entity in the account agreement, search for that entity in the regulator’s official register, compare the listed websites and contact details, and check current permissions for the product and client type. A brand name or copied licence number alone is not sufficient.
