Assessment summary

FXPrimus’s two licensed companies are on their regulators’ registers: Primus Markets INTL Limited, which runs the international website, on the Vanuatu Financial Services Commission’s list of financial dealers, and Primus Global Ltd on CySEC’s register, with no board decision against it. Both companies’ agreements describe segregated client bank accounts and negative balance protection, although the EU agreement lets the company lift the protection for clients who repeatedly over-leverage. EU clients also have the Investor Compensation Fund and the Cyprus Financial Ombudsman; international clients, who can use leverage of up to 1:2000, have neither, and their agreement sets no complaint response times and bars execution complaints made after 24 hours. Neither company names its banks. Primus Global publishes Pillar 3 disclosures naming its board (own funds ratio 596.9% at the end of 2025), but FXPrimus does not say who owns the group or publish accounts for the Vanuatu company. The agreement and entry notice misname the Vanuatu regulator, and the site claims “over 25 years of excellence” for a brand it says was founded in 2009. FXPrimus is on Indian, Russian and Malaysian lists of unauthorised firms; ASIC’s 2015 action, the 2016 revocation of its former Mauritius company’s licences and a 2014 Japanese warning are more than ten years old.

Key positives

  • Client-facing entities appear on the regulator’s register 12

    Both licensed client-facing companies are on their regulators’ registers: Primus Markets INTL Limited on the VFSC’s list of financial dealers (company 14595) and Primus Global Ltd on CySEC’s register (261/14).

  • Clients can tell which regulated entity serves them 457

    The footer names each company in the brand, its role, registration number and licence, and the international and EU agreements name the company that contracts with the client; EEA visitors are pointed to fxprimus.eu.

  • Client money segregation is disclosed 4712

    The EU agreement holds client funds in segregated client bank accounts that cannot be used in the company’s business, and the international agreement holds client money in a fiduciary capacity, with deposits made to a segregated client bank account, although it lets other parties the company designates hold it.

  • Permissions cover the services offered 124

    CySEC authorises Primus Global Ltd to deal on own account in CFDs and other derivatives, and the VFSC licenses Primus Markets INTL Limited as a financial dealer in classes A, B and C, which FXPrimus describes as a principal dealer licence.

  • Authorisations are current and unrestricted 123

    The VFSC lists the Vanuatu licence as active and CySEC lists Primus Global Ltd among current Cyprus investment firms, with no suspension, restriction or board decision against it.

Key concerns

    Partly met The licence numbers FXPrimus gives match the registers. But the international agreement and the website’s entry notice say the company is regulated by the “Vanuatu Securities and Exchange Commission”, which is not the regulator’s name, and the site calls FXPrimus “fully regulated” and “globally regulated” on the strength of an offshore licence for its international clients.

    Ultimate ownership can be identified 568910

    FXPrimus calls its companies members of “the FXPrimus Group” and quotes an unnamed group chairman, but names no owner; the Pillar 3 report refers only to “the shareholder”, GLEIF names no parent and the Cyprus registry’s free search shows no shareholders. We found no free disclosure or registry that names an owner.

  • Partly met

    Retail clients have negative balance protection 4713

    Both agreements give negative balance protection, with the company bearing the cost of settling negative balances to nil, and the EU leverage policy applies a 50% stop out to support it.

    Dated September 2025 (we use 1 September 2025); identical to the copy on fxp-legal-docs.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/int/. It says the company is “authorised and regulated by the Vanuatu Securities and Exchange Commission (the ‘VFSC’)” as a principal dealer in securities. Client money is held in a fiduciary capacity in client bank accounts kept by the company or other parties it designates, with deposits made to a segregated client bank account; no bank is named and no compensation scheme applies. The company gives negative balance protection and bears the cost of settling negative balances to nil, but may move funds between a client’s accounts to cover them and refuse withdrawals that abuse the protection. Depending on the account the company is counterparty or passes orders straight through to a third party. It may raise stop out levels or margin requirements without notice, and may recoup closed profits from accounts that trade during news. Withdrawals are sent within three business days. An inactive account pays USD 50 after three months and USD 50 a month after that; dormant accounts pay a quarterly fee of up to USD 50. Funds in other currencies are converted at the prevailing rate, with no stated mark-up. Complaints go to support@fxprimus.com and then on a form to complaints@fxprimus.com, with no response time; execution complaints must be made within 24 hours, after which the client has no rights against the company.
