Is Basel Markets a safe broker?
Basel Markets scores 4.9 / 10 on our Trust Score, above the 3.3 industry average. It holds tier-1 regulation, which offers strong investor protection. It has no complaints on record. Trade only with funds you can afford to lose.
How is the Basel Markets trust score calculated?
The score weighs five factors: regulation tier, transparency of disclosures, operating footprint, user sentiment, and complaint history. Each is scored out of 10 and combined into the overall figure shown at the top. Read our methodology.
What does "offshore regulated" mean?
It means the broker's licence comes from a jurisdiction with lighter requirements than tier-1 regulators like the FCA or ASIC. There's usually no compensation scheme, so recovering funds can be difficult if the broker fails.
