Offshore broker RoboForex deploys CySEC-regulated RoboMarkets as payment agent

Without any KYC checks, we could have deposited immediately via various payment options. Through Perfect Money, we could have deposited up to $25,000, and through AdvCash, up to around $49,999 pre-KYC.

Using a credit card, we could have deposited up to $10,000 pre-KYC via Payabl. In this case, the CySEC-regulated RoboMarkets Ltd is specified as the payment agent (screenshot on the left). RoboForex appears to have been one of Payabl‘s strongest customers over the last 28 days, with just under 20% of referral traffic to the Payabl website coming from RoboForex.

For deposits via bank transfer, KYC verification was required.

Short Narrative

Similarweb statistics for offshore broker Roboforex
Similarweb statistics for offshore broker Roboforex

The offshore broker RoboForex has experienced incredible growth over the past few months. The number of websites visitors increased from around 1.5 million in October to around 2.3 million in December 2022, with most visitors coming from Brazil, Russia, and Mexico (source: Similarweb).

In comparison, the CySEC-regulated RoboMarkets is a dwarf. Less than 100,000 people visited the regulated broker’s website in December 2022. As usual, these global broker schemes do the main business offshore. The CySEC-regulated brokers are merely the fig leaf and cost factor.

Payment Agents

RoboForex works with payment agents in Cyprus, Gibraltar, and Australia. In Cyprus, these are the CySEC-regulated RoboMarkets Ltd and Guru Gateway Ltd (formerly GuruHosting Ltd) of Evgenii Vtiurin. For credit card payments via Payabl, the CySEC-regulated RoboMarkets Ltd acts as a payment agent.

Preliminary conclusion

The leverage of up to 1:1000 violates the regulatory requirements in the EEA, as does the option of pre-KYC deposits of more than €2.500. Moreover, RoboForex is not authorized to offer its financial services in EEA jurisdictions.

We generally recommend avoiding offshore brokers operating without authorization in the EEA regions. Even if these brokers act reputably, the risk for traders is very high. You have no way to verify the information provided by the brokers, and no regulator is monitoring them.
