Reported as a scam / unregulated
Why A5 Markets is on the register
According to its website, it claims to be a reliable company, and at the bottom of the page it states that it is regulated by Financial Services Authority (SVG FSA). Upon investigation, we found that the company on file with SVG FSA is inconsistent with the name of A5 Markets. This is very likely that A5 Markets has stolen the supervision of another company. This is a very unreliable behavior, investors are advised to be careful to identify and stay away from it. In essence, A5 Markets 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. A5 Markets appears to be a scam.
