On March 11, 2024, the Spanish regulator CNMV issued a warning against the Chinese-controlled offshore broker ZFX, part of the Zeal Group. The broker is operated via regulated legal entities in the UK and the Seychelles. In our initial review, we were able to register with this offshore broker as an EU resident without any problems. We could theoretically have made unlimited pre-KYC deposits via bank transfer and crypto. This resulted in a Red Compliance Rating.
