IC Markets is a global broker, operating since 2007, regulated by ASIC, CySEC. It offers MT4, MT5, cTrader.
Important: IC Markets is not authorized by the SPK in Türkiye. The SPK only permits authorized intermediaries to offer forex locally; on unauthorized platforms investor protection is limited.
The FX Trust Score is a weighted average of five axes. Below, each axis is explained for this broker together with the data behind it.
Regulation
8.0 / 10IC Markets holds tier-1 regulation (ASIC, CYSEC), a serious trust signal. The axis still falls short of full marks because there is no SPK authorization in Türkiye: a foreign license does not extend SPK supervision or YTM compensation to an investor resident in Türkiye.
Complaint Handling
6.4 / 10A total of 1 recorded user report(s) and 1 risk flag(s) were taken into account (SPK tarafından yetkilendirilmemiştir). The axis falls as report volume and risk flags increase.
Transparency
10.0 / 10A verifiable license number is published (ASIC 335692, CySEC 362/18). The founding year (2007) is disclosed. Supported platforms are stated: MT4, MT5, cTrader.
Withdrawals
8.0 / 10There are no recorded user reports for IC Markets in the withdrawal category. This is not proof that no problems exist — only that none are recorded here.
Track Record
9.5 / 10Based on a founding year of 2007, there is roughly 19 year(s) of operating history. Longevity alone does not equal trust, but short-lived platforms are markedly riskier.
This review is based on regulatory records, publicly available company statements and user reports submitted to our site. Factors that can only be measured with a live account — pricing quality, execution speed and slippage — were not tested, and we make no experience claims about them. The scoring method is identical for every broker and is published in full on the methodology page .
