The offshore entities are Vantage Global Limited, regulated by the VFSC in Vanuatu, which operates the Moneta Markets and Vantage brands.

Updated narrative
We recently did a detailed review on Moneta Markets, which you can read here. The offshore broker attracts clients in the EU and UK and offers leverage of up to 1:500. In essence, Moneta Markets and VT Markets are identical. Recently, the two brokers should no longer work with PandaTS, at least they have changed their websites.

It is interesting to note that VT Markets now offers Russian Perfect Money as a payment option, which is actually only used by the dark side of the web. Many scam brokers use Perfect Money as their payment facilitator.
We recommend all consumers not to work with VT Markets or Moneta Markets. While they may not be scams, they operate without authorization from the relevant regulators. The deposited money is not insured and there is no Investor Protection Fund. Likewise, there is no way to call a Financial Ombudsman in case of problems. Stay away and do not increase your risk again. With Forex, CFDs and Cryptos you are active in high risk anyway.
