Attention: Orange Compliance Rating For Expanding Offshore Broker Moneta Markets!

Orange Compliance Ben -
FinTelegram is known and hated primarily for its critical reviews. In this respect, we may (somewhat) disappoint this expectation with our new review of Moneta Markets by David Bily. We have upgraded the broker's compliance rating from red to orange, honoring the regulatory actions taken in recent months and the positive customer feedback. However, some of the broker's key target markets are still covered without regulatory permissions. Here is our updated review.

Offshore Broker Moneta Markets Still Solicits EEA Residents Without Authorization!

Moneta Markets is a trading name of Moneta LLC, St. Vincent & The Grenadines. In Australia, Moneta Markets is acting as an authorized representative of AGC Capital Securities Pty Ltd, regulated by the Australian Securities & Investments Commission (ASIC). In South Africa, the scheme is an authorized Financial Service Provider regulated by the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA). However, it does not have regulatory permission for EEA jurisdictions and violates regulatory rules.

In an executive interview with Finance Magnate, founder and CEO David Bily confirmed the breakaway from the Vantage Group. He also informed that Moneta Markets would now also operate with an ASIC license in Australia. However, Moneta Markets still operates unauthorized in Europe and violates regulatory rules. Here is another update.

Until recently, Moneta Markets used to be a trading style of the Vantage Group with the offshore entity Vantage Global Limited, registered with the VFSC in Vanuatu, as its operator. European regulators have warned against the unauthorized and thus illegal activities of Moneta Markets soliciting consumers in the EU. For a few weeks, Moneta Markets has been operated by Moneta Markets South Africa (Pty) Ltd, an FSCA-regulated FSP, and Moneta LLC, registered in St. Vincent & The Grenadines.

Moneta Markets is a trading style of the Vantage Group. The offshore entity Vantage Global Limited, registered with the VFSC in Vanuatu, is the operator of Moneta Markets and other offshore brands. European regulators have warned against the unauthorized and thus illegal activities of Moneta Markets soliciting consumers in the EU. Today, the offshore broker increased the leverage for crypto CFDs up to 1:100, which is again a violation of regulatory frameworks in Europe and other regulatory regimes.

David opined that a license or permission would not be required for Moneta Markets in the EU. However, Consob sees differently and recently issued a warning against Moneta Markets and Vantage Global Limited.
