Reported as a scam / unregulated
Why ACEMarkets is on the register
ACEMarkets claims to be regulated by New Zealand’s Financial Markets Authority (FMA) and the Anjouan Offshore Finance Authority (AOFA) . Our verification shows that ACE Markets Limited is indeed registered with the FMA as a licensed forex provider. However, the FMA-listed domain for this entity is , and there is no official record linking it to the ACE Markets website you are referring to . Regarding its AOFA license, while a registration can be found, the AOFA does not publicly disclose the operating websites of its licensees , making independent verification impossible. More importantly, AOFA is an offshore authority with minimal oversight and very low international recognition , offering little to no meaningful investor protection. Taken together, these issues suggest that ACE Markets’ regulatory claims are either misleading or insufficient. Therefore, we consider it to be a scam until its regulatory claim has been verified beyond doubt.
