Who actually onboards you
- Entity that onboards United Arab Emirates residents
- UAE retail clients are onboarded through the offshore arm FP Markets LLC (St Vincent & the Grenadines); FP Markets runs a dedicated en-ae portal but not a locally licensed UAE entity.
- Local standing
- Offshore/unregulated locally in the UAE; group top-tier oversight is ASIC/CySEC but neither covers UAE retail onboarding.
- Licence as the register states it
- No SCA (Securities & Commodities Authority) or DFSA/ADGM licence; served under SVG registration (FP Markets LLC, Reg. No. 126 LLC 2019).
- Leverage for this entity
- Up to 1:500 under the offshore entity; no local UAE leverage cap applied.
- The firm behind it
- Founded 2005, HQ Sydney, Australia; multi-regulated global forex/CFD broker.
- What we hold against it
- UAE clients use an offshore entity without local statutory protection; FP Markets' offshore mutation was flagged on a Fintelegram 'orange' compliance list.
Leverage by entity
The licence belongs to the firm; a leverage figure belongs to one entity. Only the entity that onboards UAE residents enters the score.
Scale from 1:10 to 1:3000, logarithmic.
