Unknown
Gerchik & Co is a forex & CFD broker based in Vanuatu, established in 2015. On Trust Broker Hub it holds a Trust Score of 6.9 out of 10, which we rate as Fair — above the 5.3/10 average for brokers that hold a verified licence. Mixed profile — check regulation and conditions before depositing.
Gerchik & Co's licence comes from an offshore jurisdiction (VFSC). Offshore regulation is far lighter than tier-1 oversight from bodies like the FCA (UK) or ASIC (Australia): there is usually no compensation scheme, and recovering funds can be difficult if the broker runs into trouble. Treat it with extra caution and verify the licence on the regulator's own register.

Frequently asked
Is Gerchik & Co a safe broker?
Gerchik & Co scores 6.9 / 10 on our Trust Score, above the 5.3 average for brokers that hold a verified licence. It is only offshore-regulated, which means weaker protection. It has no complaints on record with us, though that is not proof of good conduct. Trade only with funds you can afford to lose.
How is the Gerchik & Co 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.
Can I withdraw funds easily from Gerchik & Co?
Gerchik & Co publishes some trading terms, but always confirm withdrawal fees directly. Test with a small amount first and document every transaction.
