Assessment summary
Moneta Markets’ Seychelles, South African, UK and UAE licences match their regulators’ records; we could not check the Mauritius licence. International clients of monetamarkets.com sign up with Moneta Markets Ltd, a Saint Lucia company with no financial licence, which the site presents under the heading “We’re Regulated”. That company’s March 2026 agreement treats client payments for trading as not client money, excludes abnormal market conditions from its negative balance protection and names no independent dispute body, while the site tells clients their funds are segregated at an AA-rated bank and insured with Lloyd’s. The Seychelles company’s agreement gives retail clients negative balance protection but has no client money segregation terms, and its complaints go only to the regulator. No compensation scheme applies. Companies House names David Bily and Ling Jong Wang as controlling the UK company, whose parent is Moneta Markets Excellence Holdings Limited of the British Virgin Islands; who owns the companies that serve clients is not stated. Brazil’s CVM ordered Moneta Markets companies to stop offering services in Brazil in 2024, Consob ordered monetamarkets.com to stop serving Italians in 2021, when the site named Vantage Global Limited, and the brand is on Malaysia’s investor alert list.
Key positives
- Authorisations are current and unrestricted 2345
The four licences we could check are current, with no suspension or restriction shown.
- Withdrawal terms are disclosed 161718
The withdrawal page gives the methods, processing within 1 to 3 business days, processing hours, the international wire fee and the conditions, and the key facts summary says Moneta Markets charges no deposit or withdrawal fees.
- The client agreement is available before sign-up 6914
The Saint Lucia and Seychelles client agreements can be read without an account; we read the Saint Lucia agreement from an archived copy because the site refuses automated requests.
- Risk warnings are clear and current 110
Every page of both sites carries a risk warning that clients may lose more than they invest, and none of the companies’ regulators requires the share of losing accounts.
Key concerns
- Brazil’s CVM orders Moneta Markets companies to stop offering services to Brazilian residents 1931
Reduced the enforcement dimension by 10 points (moderate severity, 2.3 years before the review).
- Consob orders monetamarkets.com to stop offering investment services in Italy 2032
Reduced the enforcement dimension by 5 points (moderate severity, 4.8 years before the review, counted at half weight).
- Listed on the Securities Commission Malaysia Investor Alert List 21
Reduced the enforcement dimension by 2 points (low severity, 2.8 years before the review).
- Regulatory claims on the website are accurate 1234567
Not met Under the heading “We’re Regulated” the international site says Moneta Markets operates under the regulations and standards of the SLIBC, Saint Lucia’s registry of international business companies, which registers companies and does not license brokers, and it calls itself a regulated broker to clients of the unlicensed Saint Lucia company. The FSA, FSCA, FCA and UAE licences it lists match the registers; we could not confirm the Mauritius licence.
- Client money segregation is disclosed 614
Not met The Saint Lucia agreement puts client money in a segregated account only when the law requires it and says payments for orders, margin and deposits are not client money, and the Seychelles agreement contains no segregation terms and lets the company pass client money to third parties with consent. We could not read the South African or Mauritius terms.

- Partly met
Permissions cover the services offered 1236
The FSA lists the Seychelles company as a securities dealer and the FSCA approves the South African company for advice and intermediary services in derivatives, but the Saint Lucia company that serves international clients through monetamarkets.com offers CFDs without a licence, and we could not see the Mauritius company’s permissions.
- Not met

Under the heading “We’re Regulated” the international site says Moneta Markets operates under the regulations and standards of the SLIBC, Saint Lucia’s registry of international business companies, which registers companies and does not license brokers, and it calls itself a regulated broker to clients of the unlicensed Saint Lucia company. The FSA, FSCA, FCA and UAE licences it lists match the registers; we could not confirm the Mauritius licence.
- Partly met
Clients can tell which regulated entity serves them 18910
The footer names seven companies and calls Moneta Markets a trading name of both the South African and the Saint Lucia companies without saying which clients each serves, the Mauritius company’s role is not stated, and monetamarkets.com does not mention the Seychelles company that runs monetamarkets.sc. The site’s notice and legal page do show that Moneta Markets Ltd operates the international site.

- Partly met
An address and working contact channels are published 123830
Moneta Markets publishes emails, telephone numbers and addresses for most companies, and the Seychelles address and South African footer address match the FSA and FSCA registers, but the international site gives no address for the Saint Lucia company it is run by, and its regulation page gives the South African company a different name and address in Rosebank.
