AMArkets

Company Background

In this short AMarkets review, we want to introduce you to a Forex/CFD broker that has been serving clients for 17 years since 2007. Today, the platform has over 2 million accounts opened and has received dozens of prestigious awards and honors.

The company is officially registered in the Comoros Union (Island of Mwali/Moheli) and operates under a license from the local financial regulator MISA. Additionally, the firm’s data is included in the business registers and databases of regulators in the Cook Islands and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.

The broker is also a certified member of The Financial Commission, which protects client interests and, in cases of proven misconduct by the company, offers compensation of up to €20,000 from the Financial Commission Compensation Fund. The quality of order execution is audited by the independent service Verify My Trade.

Overview of Services and Trading Terms

AMarkets offers users the ability to trade over 550 of the most popular trading instruments:

• 44 currency pairs.
• Commodities (18 assets, including precious and industrial metals, energy resources, and agricultural products).
• Stock market instruments (leading company shares, stock indices, ETFs, bonds).
• Cryptocurrencies (27 pairs).

Clients can open five types of accounts (in USD, EUR, and BTC):

• Standard.
• ECN.
• Fixed, ideal for beginners due to fixed spreads.
• Zero, with zero spreads but with trading commissions.
• Crypto.

This allows traders to choose trading conditions that best match their trading style and risk tolerance. The minimum deposit for all accounts is $100, and for ECN accounts, it is $200. The maximum leverage is set at 1:3000 for the most liquid currency pairs (1:500 for Crypto accounts). Spreads are somewhat higher than market leaders — 1.3 pips for the EUR/USD pair. However, on the ECN account, they start from 0.1 pips, and on the Zero account, they are non-existent.

Referral and Bonus Schemes

AMarkets has achieved significant success in attracting clients thanks to a generous partner program. It is enough to say that out of 2 million registered users, 1 million opened accounts through referral links.

The company offers partners two options for cooperation:

• Agent/Introducing Broker, with payments to the partner of up to 80% of AMarkets’ revenue from users they referred.
• Webmaster (cost per account), where the company’s partner receives a one-time payment of up to $20 for each confirmed registration and up to $500 for a deposit made by the referred trader.

Regulatory requirements from offshore jurisdictions are significantly more lenient than, for example, those of the UK’s FCA or the EU’s CySEC. This has allowed AMarkets to not only significantly increase the maximum leverage but also use bonus programs to attract clients. For example, new users can receive a 100% bonus on their first deposit (up to $10,000) or 20% of their account balance when transferring it from another broker.

The company also offers other promotional deals. The full list can easily be found on the corresponding page of the official website.
