Is Admiral Markets a trustworthy broker?

A way to check if a Broker is reliable and trustworthy is through the Public entities that regulate its operations. In other words, if a government entity considered as Top Tier worldwide is the Broker's watchdog, it is an excellent indicator to demonstrate that it is safe to deposit funds and operate with the platform. Three of the world's strictest supervision authorities regulate and supervise Admiral Markets:

• Admiral Markets Pty Ltd (ABN 63 151 613 839) holds an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL) to carry on financial services business in Australia, limited to the financial services covered by its AFSL no. 410681. The information on the Admiral Markets Pty Ltd's website (www.admiralmarkets.com.au) is not directed at residents in any country or jurisdiction where such distribution or use would be contrary to local law or regulation.

• Admiral Markets UK Ltd is authorized and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), FRN: 595450, and is allowed to hold Client Money under the FCA CASS rules. Admiral Markets UK Ltd is a sister company of Admiral Markets AS (Estonia).

• Admiral Markets AS is licensed and authorized by the Estonian Financial Supervision Authority (EFSA license № 4.1-1/46) for main investment and brokerage activities in the European Union and European Economic Area (EEA) cross-border basis.

Bearing in mind that Admiral Markets is a broker regulated by very strict government entities (by the British FCA particularly), we can assume that it is a reliable firm since they have to comply with strict regulations.
