Reported as a scam / unregulated
Why Sync Markets is on the register
Sync Markets claims to be registered in Saint Lucia with the International Financial Centre (IFC) as an International Business Company (IBC), which does not regulate forex trading activities. Despite listing a physical address in the UK, there is no evidence of authorization or supervision by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). Previously, Sync Markets held regulatory approval from the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), but this authorization has since been revoked. Consequently, Sync Markets operates without oversight from any recognized regulatory body, posing significant risks 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.
