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.

  • Permissions cover the services offered 1256

    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.

  • Authorisations are current and unrestricted 1234

    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.

  • Legal entity details are published 15101112151617

    The footers, agreements and company information give the companies’ full names, registration numbers and registered addresses, which match CySEC’s register and GLEIF.

Each dimension is scored from its criteria, then weighted. Dimensions without enough evidence are left out and the remaining weights are rescaled. Open a dimension to see every criterion, our rationale and the sources.

Regulatory status and licence verification 26% of score 95 out of 100

Whether the firm’s licences exist, are current and cover what it offers.

  • Met

    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.

  • Met

    Authorisations are current and unrestricted 1234

    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.

  • Met

    Permissions cover the services offered 1256

    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.

  • Met

    Legal entity details are published 15101112151617

    The footers, agreements and company information give the companies’ full names, registration numbers and registered addresses, which match CySEC’s register and GLEIF.

  • Not determined

    Ultimate ownership can be identified 13151618

    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.

  • Partly met

    Group structure is explained 111213

    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.

  • Met

    Directors or senior managers are identified 218

    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.

  • Partly met

    Financial statements are available 1819

    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.

  • Partly met

    Client money segregation is disclosed 121420

    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.

  • Partly met

    An investor compensation scheme applies 12212223

    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.

  • Met

    Withdrawal terms are disclosed 242526

    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.

Starts at 100 and loses points for each substantiated adverse finding by severity and age. Allegations, complaints and clone warnings never count. Total deducted: 18 points.

  • Met

    Warning lists and enforcement records have been searched 3427282930

    We searched CySEC’s board decisions, the FCA’s list, the CVM’s declaratory acts, the Indian and Malaysian alert lists and Japan’s FSA lists, and ran web searches for other regulators’ actions. 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.

  • Enforcement action

    CySEC settles with ICC Intercertus Capital, now Harindale Ltd, for EUR 100,000 over retail CFD restrictions 31543

    18 Jul 2022. Reduced the enforcement dimension by 5 points (moderate severity, 4.3 years before the review, counted at half weight).

Criteria and their weighting are explained in the methodology.

Complaint handling and documented resolutions 8% of score 63 out of 100

How the firm handles complaints, and what independent records show.

  • Met

    A complaints procedure is published 3132

    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.

  • Not met

    Complaint data is disclosed 1933

    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).

  • Partly met

    An order execution policy is published 6123338

    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.

  • Met

    Leverage and margin terms are disclosed 343639

    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.

  • Met

    Risk warnings are clear and current 101113

    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.

  • Partly met

    Material changes are communicated 121419

    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.

We have not checked this firm’s office in person, so this dimension scores zero. We check offices through our on-site verification programme.

    Agreement with Trinota Markets (Global) Limited (8425037-1, FSA SD035), registered address CT House, Office 9A, Providence, and head offices at JUC Building, Office F4, Providence Zone 18; M4Markets is its trade name. The company deals as principal or agent and is the contractual counterparty. Client money is placed in segregated client accounts with approved banks or payment providers, but may be passed to liquidity providers and other parties, including as margin, possibly in omnibus accounts (14). Negative balance protection is defined as adjusting a negative balance to zero, while the risk section says clients will be liable for any deficit after liquidation, and trading with high leverage around news may be treated as abuse of the protection. Support functions are outsourced to the affiliated Excedo Support Services Limited and VH TM Services Limited (Limassol) may process payments. Inactive accounts pay a monthly fee under the costs policy. Complaints go to complaints@m4markets.com under the complaint policy. Amendments are notified in writing or on the website after FSA approval. Dated August 2026; we use 1 August 2026.
