Frequently Asked Questions
Is Markets.com regulated?
Yes. Markets.com is authorised by FSA, issued to the entity Finalto Ltd, an authorisation you can look up for yourself on the official FSA public register.
What is the minimum deposit for Markets.com in Bangladesh?
The cover charge is $100, the smallest amount Bangladesh traders need to open a live account with Markets.com under FSA rules.
What leverage does Markets.com offer in Bangladesh?
In Bangladesh, FSA rules cap Markets.com at 1:500 on forex pairs. A larger pour is sometimes available through offshore-regulated entities, with thinner protection to match.
Is Markets.com safe to trade with?
The kitchen passes inspection: Markets.com cooks under FSA. A tier-1 regulator insists on segregated client money, negative balance protection and independent audits, while lighter offshore regimes offer weaker cover and often no compensation scheme. That does not make trading risk-free, so check which entity holds your account and what protections actually apply before you deposit.
