Security, Regulation & Account Opening
Which regulators authorize or regulate EC Markets?
The legal disclosures on the official website list the Mauritius FSC, the UK FCA, the South Africa FSCA, Australia's ASIC, New Zealand's FMA and the Seychelles FSA, and separately list a UAE CMA entity. Which entity applies to a given client must be confirmed in the account opening agreement.

Which EC Markets regulated entity applies to Malaysian clients after account opening?
The publicly available official site information is not sufficient to confirm that all Malaysian clients belong to one and the same entity. Please rely on the contracting company shown in the account opening process, the client agreement and the disclosures in the client portal, and do not judge by the website domain alone.

Are EC Markets client fund protection rules the same worldwide?
Client agreements, handling of funds and protection arrangements may differ between regulated entities. The EC Markets legal page asks clients to read the relevant Client Agreement and Risk Disclosure, and the rules of one entity cannot be applied to all regions.
