AMarkets Review

Regulation and safety of funds

AMarkets operates through three separate legal entities rather than a single regulated group: AMarkets LTD is registered in Mwali, Comoros under the Mwali International Services Authority (license T2023284); AMarkets LLC is registered in the Cook Islands (LLC14486/2023) under that jurisdiction's Financial Supervisory Commission; and AMarkets LTD is also registered in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (22567 BC 2015) under the Financial Services Authority.

None of these bodies function as a strict financial conduct regulator in the way the FCA, ASIC, or CySEC do — they are closer to offshore company registries with light oversight. AMarkets is a certified member of The Financial Commission, an independent dispute resolution body, which gives clients access to a compensation fund of up to €20,000 per claim if a dispute is ruled in their favor. That membership is a genuine layer of protection, but it is not the same as regulatory supervision, deposit insurance, or a government-backed compensation scheme.

Fees and spreads

AMarkets offers three account types. The Standard account needs a $100 minimum deposit, has floating spreads from 1.3 pips, and charges no commission on forex or metals trades. The ECN account needs $200 minimum, has spreads from 0.2 pips, and charges $2.50 per lot per side. The Zero account also needs $200 minimum, advertises spreads from 0 pips on majors and metals "90% of the time," and charges $5.50 per lot per side.

Leverage goes up to 1:3000 across all account types, far beyond the 1:30 or 1:500 caps common at regulated brokers. That leverage can amplify both gains and losses quickly, and traders new to leveraged products should treat it with caution. AMarkets reports no account maintenance or inactivity fees, and deposits are free regardless of method.

Platforms and tools

AMarkets runs on MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 only, available as desktop downloads for Windows and Mac, as a browser-based WebTrader for both platforms, and as a mobile app for iOS and Android. There is no cTrader or TradingView integration, so traders who prefer those platforms will need to look elsewhere.

Beyond the standard MetaTrader toolset, AMarkets offers a Copy Trading service with separate interfaces for investors (who follow other traders) and traders (who let others copy their positions), plus a copy trading rating system to help investors compare strategies. The broker lists over 550 tradable instruments across forex, stocks, indices, commodities, and cryptocurrencies.

Deposits and withdrawals

AMarkets accepts bank transfers, debit and credit cards, and a set of regional and e-wallet payment methods that vary by country — the exact list is shown inside each client's Personal Area after verification. Deposits are processed instantly and the broker charges no deposit fees at all.

Withdrawals are paid back to the same account or card used for the deposit; AMarkets does not support sending withdrawals to a different, unverified account. Trustpilot reviews mention occasional withdrawal delays and, in at least one documented case, a customer needing to escalate before a blocked withdrawal was resolved through an alternative payment channel. Most reviewers describe deposit and withdrawal processing as fast, but the offshore regulatory structure means there's less external recourse if a dispute goes unresolved.

Customer support

Customer support is available 24/7 by email at support@amarkets.com, alongside a Telegram support bot. Most other departments — dealing, finance, legal, HR, and partnerships — keep standard Monday-to-Friday office hours (09:00-18:00 GMT+3). The company lists a general phone line plus separate regional numbers for the Cook Islands, Panama, Turkey, Ukraine, and several other countries.

Trustpilot shows a 4.8-out-of-5 rating from several thousand reviews, with most praising fast responses and helpful staff. The recurring complaints involve withdrawal delays, having to repeat information across support tickets, and slower follow-up once an account is flagged or blocked — issues worth weighing against the generally positive average.

Who is it for

AMarkets is built primarily for retail traders in the CIS, MENA, and other emerging markets where it maintains localized websites in languages including Arabic, Turkish, Ukrainian, Hindi, Thai, Vietnamese, and Indonesian. It suits traders who want very high leverage, a wide range of crypto CFDs, and low-friction, fee-free deposits, and who are comfortable trading with a broker that has offshore registrations rather than tier-1 regulatory oversight.

It is not a fit for traders in the US, UK, or EU/EEA, who are excluded outright, nor for anyone who specifically wants FCA-, ASIC-, or CySEC-level protections, strict leverage caps, or a regulated compensation scheme backed by a government authority.
