Reported as a scam / unregulated
Why Clayton Markets is on the register
Clayton Markets claims to operate under Clayton Markets Ltd., registered with the Saint Lucia International Financial Centre (IFC). While a matching company is listed in the IFC registry, this only confirms its status as an International Business Company (IBC) and does not imply financial regulation or licensing. The Saint Lucia IFC explicitly states that it does not regulate or license forex brokers. Furthermore, Clayton Markets holds no valid license from any recognized financial authority, which is a major red flag for potential fraud. In summary, Clayton Markets operates without legitimate regulatory oversight, posing a high risk to investors.
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.
