The offshore broker FP Markets is operated through FP Markets LLC, registered in St. Vincent & The Grenadines and related to the CySEC-regulated broker of the same name. The only discernible difference between the CySEC-regulated and the unregulated offshore broker is the domain. The offshore mutation of FP Markets was recommended to us via Daily Forex. The KYC at onboarding does not comply with ESMA requirements. We have added FP Markets to our Orange Compliance list.
The offshore broker Tredero is apparently a scheme controlled through Cyprus. Officially, Tredero is operated by Oneprime Ltd, which has a dealer/broker license from FSC Mauritius. However, payments are processed through Cyprus-based MIW Solutions Ltd. Tredero also accepts clients from Canada or the EEA regions and offers a leverage of up to 1:500. We discovered ShinePays as a payment gateway for credit/debit cards, SWIFT, e-wallets, and crypto.
