M4Markets is a forex and CFD brand founded in 2019. International clients deal with Trinota Markets (Global) Limited, licensed by the Seychelles FSA as a securities dealer, and clients in the European Economic Area with Harindale Ltd, a CySEC-licensed Cyprus investment firm formerly named ICC Intercertus Capital Ltd. Oryx Finance Ltd, licensed by the Dubai Financial Services Authority, markets the brand in the UAE.
Research-based assessment This profile has not completed TTI’s on-site verification and 30-day platform review. How TTI verification works
Each licence was matched on the regulator’s own register on the date shown. Unverified claims are listed under Regulation and legal entities.
Assessment summary
M4Markets’ two client-facing companies are on their regulators’ registers: Trinota Markets (Global) Limited is listed by the Seychelles FSA as a securities dealer and Harindale Ltd is a CySEC-licensed Cyprus investment firm permitted to deal on its own account. We could not check the DFSA licence of Oryx Finance Ltd, which its own site calls a marketing and introducing entity although the other sites call it a securities dealer. EU clients have segregation, negative balance protection, the Investor Compensation Fund and the Cyprus ombudsman. International clients’ money may be passed to liquidity providers as margin, their agreement both promises negative balance protection and makes them liable for deficits, and they have no compensation scheme or independent dispute body; the insurance M4Markets advertises is not described in detail. M4Markets does not say who owns the ORYX group behind it. CySEC settled with Harindale, then trading as Axiance, for EUR 100,000 in 2022 over retail CFD restrictions, Brazil’s CVM ordered the companies to stop offering services in Brazil in 2026, and Japan and Malaysia list the brand as unauthorised.
Key positives
Client-facing entities appear on the regulator’s register 12
Both client-facing companies are on their regulators’ registers: Harindale Ltd on CySEC’s register under licence 301/16 with the trade name M4Markets and the domain www.m4markets.eu, and Trinota Markets (Global) Limited on the Seychelles FSA’s list of securities dealers with the trade name M4MARKETS and the website www.m4markets.com. The FSA list does not show licence numbers.
Clients can tell which regulated entity serves them 1011121314
The international footer names the companies that share the brand, each site says which company operates it and shows a notice when a visitor moves between the Seychelles, EU and UAE sites, and each agreement names its contracting company and regulator.
CySEC authorises Harindale Ltd to deal on own account in financial instruments 1 to 10, which include CFDs, matching its execution policy, under which it acts as principal; the FSA lists the Seychelles company as a securities dealer.
Both registers show the companies as current, with no suspension or restriction. CySEC’s only decision about Harindale is the 2022 settlement, which imposed no restriction.
The footers, agreements and company information give the companies’ full names, registration numbers and registered addresses, which match CySEC’s register and GLEIF.

Client-facing entities appear on the regulator’s register 12
Both client-facing companies are on their regulators’ registers: Harindale Ltd on CySEC’s register under licence 301/16 with the trade name M4Markets and the domain www.m4markets.eu, and Trinota Markets (Global) Limited on the Seychelles FSA’s list of securities dealers with the trade name M4MARKETS and the website www.m4markets.com. The FSA list does not show licence numbers.
Both registers show the companies as current, with no suspension or restriction. CySEC’s only decision about Harindale is the 2022 settlement, which imposed no restriction.
CySEC authorises Harindale Ltd to deal on own account in financial instruments 1 to 10, which include CFDs, matching its execution policy, under which it acts as principal; the FSA lists the Seychelles company as a securities dealer.
Partly met
Regulatory claims on the website are accurate 1278910
The CySEC and FSA licences M4Markets states match the registers. We could not check the DFSA licence of Oryx Finance Ltd, which the international and EU sites call a securities dealer while its own UAE site calls it a marketing and introducing entity.
Met
Clients can tell which regulated entity serves them 1011121314
The international footer names the companies that share the brand, each site says which company operates it and shows a notice when a visitor moves between the Seychelles, EU and UAE sites, and each agreement names its contracting company and regulator.
Criteria and their weighting are explained in the methodology.
Corporate transparency and ownership 13% of score 89 out of 100
Whether you can find out who owns and runs the firm.
The footers, agreements and company information give the companies’ full names, registration numbers and registered addresses, which match CySEC’s register and GLEIF.
The EU site says M4Markets is the trade name of the ORYX group without saying who owns it, Harindale’s Pillar III disclosures do not name its shareholders, and GLEIF reports unnamed natural-person owners for Harindale and non-public parent data for the Seychelles company. We found no official record that names who owns M4Markets.
M4Markets names the companies sharing the brand, the clients each serves and its affiliated service companies, and says the trade name belongs to the ORYX group, but does not explain how the companies are owned or related.
Harindale’s 2025 Pillar III disclosures name its five directors, including executive directors Michael Christoforou and Avgoustinos Athiainitis; the Seychelles FSA lists Marios Antoniou with the Seychelles company.
Harindale Ltd publishes Pillar III disclosures for 2021 to 2025; those for 2025 say they are audited and show own funds of EUR 807,403 and a capital ratio of 107.65%. We found no financial statements for the Seychelles company, which serves international clients.
Criteria and their weighting are explained in the methodology.
Client fund protections and disclosed safeguards 13% of score 71 out of 100
What protects client money if something goes wrong.
Harindale’s agreement keeps client funds in segregated accounts. The Seychelles agreement places client money in segregated accounts with approved banks or payment providers but lets the company pass it to liquidity providers and other parties, including as margin, where it may not be separable from others’ money.
Partly met
Retail clients have negative balance protection 11121420
Harindale’s agreement gives negative balance protection. For international clients the support centre and the agreement’s definition promise it, but the agreement’s risk section says clients are liable for any deficit after liquidation and the home page warns of unlimited losses greater than the amount deposited.
Eligible clients of Harindale Ltd are covered by the Investor Compensation Fund, of which it is a member. No compensation scheme covers clients of the Seychelles company; the fund insurance of up to USD 1 million that M4Markets advertises for them is not a compensation scheme and its terms are not published.
Not met
Banking and custody arrangements are disclosed 121424
The agreements refer to segregated accounts with reliable institutions or approved banks and payment providers, and the EU funding page names only the authorities that supervise its payment providers; neither names the banks that hold client money.
Both funding pages list withdrawal methods with minimum amounts, fees and processing times, and the conditions, such as returning funds to the deposit method and a 3% fee on international withdrawals without trading.
Criteria and their weighting are explained in the methodology.
Enforcement and substantiated adverse findings 13% of score 82 out of 100
Regulator warnings, enforcement actions and final legal findings on record.

We found a CySEC settlement (2022), a CVM stop order (2026), a Japan FSA warning (2025) and a Malaysian alert (2021); FSA Seychelles notices about look-alike sites concern impostors.

Complaint handling and documented resolutions 8% of score 63 out of 100
How the firm handles complaints, and what independent records show.
The Seychelles policy acknowledges complaints within two business days and answers within 21 business days, or 90 for complicated ones; the EU policy acknowledges within five days and answers within two months.
Partly met
Independent dispute resolution is available 143132
EU clients can refer complaints of up to EUR 170,000 to the Financial Ombudsman of Cyprus. Clients of the Seychelles company can only escalate to the FSA, the regulator, which is not an independent dispute body.
Not determined
Independent complaint outcomes show no adverse pattern
We found no published ombudsman or dispute-body decisions about M4Markets’ companies.
We found no complaint statistics published by M4Markets, or by a regulator or ombudsman for its companies.
Criteria and their weighting are explained in the methodology.
Trading terms and operational transparency 8% of score 95 out of 100
Whether costs, execution and risks are disclosed before you sign up.
Met
Costs are disclosed before account opening 2634353637
M4Markets publishes spreads, commissions per account, a swap rate table with the mark-up it applies, its currency conversion approach (market rate, no extra fee) and inactivity fees (40 units a month after three months for international clients, 10 units a month after a year in the EU).
Harindale’s execution policy says it is principal and sole execution venue and sets out the execution factors, and conflicts policies are published, but no policy names the liquidity providers. The Seychelles company has no separate execution policy; its agreement says it acts as principal or agent and is the counterparty.
Met
The client agreement is available before sign-up 12141933
Both companies’ client services agreements can be downloaded from their sites without an account.
Both account pages give maximum leverage, the margin call and the stop-out level for each account (international accounts up to 1:5000 with stop-outs of 20% to 40%; EU retail 1:30 with a 50% stop-out), and the margin page gives leverage by instrument.
The EU site warns that 80% of retail investor accounts lose money with this provider and the UAE site gives 73%; the international site warns that CFDs can result in losses greater than the amount deposited.
Criteria and their weighting are explained in the methodology.
Public disclosures and communication 4% of score 83 out of 100
Whether public claims hold up and the firm communicates openly.
Partly met
Marketing claims are accurate and attributable 810112140
M4Markets lists awards mostly from business magazines and expos, claims 35 million users without a source, advertises fund insurance without naming the insurer or its terms, and calls its DFSA company a securities dealer while that company calls itself a marketing and introducing entity.
Met
An address and working contact channels are published 121215164142
Addresses, phone numbers and emails are published. The Cyprus address matches CySEC’s register and GLEIF, and the Seychelles office matches the FSA’s register; the agreement and GLEIF give CT House as the Seychelles registered address.
The Seychelles agreement says amendments are notified in writing or on the website after the FSA approves them, and the documents carry dates, but we found no notices of changes, and the EU agreement in use dates from December 2023 while the EU policies date from 2025.
Criteria and their weighting are explained in the methodology.
On-site office verification 5% of score 0 out of 100
What our visit confirmed in person: a real, staffed office of the assessed entity, not a ghost address.
