Why 9cents is on the register
According to its website, it claims to be registered in Saint Lucia, but Saint Lucia does not regulate foreign exchange. In addition, it says its address is in Dubai. Upon investigation, no matching information was found in the Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA), Central Bank of U.A.E. (CBUAE), and DuBai Financial Services Authority (DFSA). In essence, 9cents is not regulated by any governing body. Entrusting it with investors’ funds is highly risky, as there are no legal protections in place to safeguard the funds. 9cents appears to be a scam.
If you have money with this broker
- Stop sending funds. Do not pay any further “fees”, “taxes” or “verification” charges to release a withdrawal — this is a common secondary scam.
- Preserve evidence. Save transaction IDs, wallet addresses, chat logs, and every screenshot before the account is closed.
- Report it. Notify your bank/exchange and your national financial regulator so the activity is on record.
- Get guidance. Tell us what happened and we will point you toward the right next step. We are a free public registry — we never charge any fees.
