Short narrative

The Financial Commission recently informed that GANNMarkets canceled its membership as of 2 May 2022. Thus, GANNMarkets clients are no longer eligible for reimbursement from the Financial Commission’s compensation fund.

In our review we have been able to register as residents of UK and EU. Since GANNMarkets does not have a license for these regimes, it is offering its regulated financial services unauthorized and illegally. GANNMarkets is also operating unauthorized in other regulatory regimes such as Australia. GANNMarkets offers leverage of up to 1:400, which violates regulatory requirements in most jurisdictions. In UK and EU a maximum leverage of 1:30 is allowed.

Deposits are only possible after a KYC check which is positive. On Trustpilot, the offshore broker receives a 4.5-star rating with a corresponding “Excellent” rating. However, most of the 5-star reviews seem to have been ordered and are meaningless.

You should generally avoid offshore brokers. This is even more true if they are not regulated. As a client of these brokers you are not entitled to Investor Protection Schemes or Financial Ombudsman support. You have hardly any chance to file a lawsuit in an offshore jurisdiction.
