FXGT is part of GT Group, which comprises CySEC-regulated investment firm and liquidity provider FintecGT. The payment processors we discovered for FXGT are Cyprus-based Payabl and Unlimint. Here is the initial review of the broker scheme.

Short Narrative
We have found that Panikos Georgiou is both a Compliance Manager for FXGT and GlobalGT registered with the FSA Seychelles and the Chief Operating Officer for CySEC-regulated FxNet Ltd. At least, that’s what’s stated on his LinkedIn profile.
If and how the connection between GT Group and FXNet is, we do not know at the moment.
Our review on February 6, 2023, noted that the GT Group offshore retail brokers do not accept clients from Europe or North America. In this respect, we cannot identify any regulatory issues for the jurisdictions of these regions. However, the regulatory situation in Asian countries seems questionable to us.
Nearly 100% of FXGT‘s 4.6 million website visitors came from Japan in the 28 days before our review. At GlobalGT, about 85% of the 900,000 website visitors came from Thailand. Neither in Japan nor Thailand does the operator, 360 Degrees Markets Limited, have a permit we know of.
