MasterLink Securities is a forex & CFD broker based in Taiwan, established in 1989. 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.
MasterLink Securities's licence comes from an offshore jurisdiction (TPEX, BY and TAIPEI). 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.
MasterLink Securities provides access to Brokerage, Wealth Management, Underwriting, Stock Register & Transfer. Published conditions include a minimum deposit of $100 and leverage up to 1:600. No complaints are currently on record. Overall, MasterLink Securities has a mixed profile: check its regulation and conditions carefully before depositing.

Our verdict on MasterLink Securities
Our analysis · editorial
6.9/10
Solid profile, with some caveats
MasterLink Securities is regulated in an offshore jurisdiction (TPEX, BY, TAIPEI), which offers lighter oversight than tier-1 regimes. Based in Taiwan, it has been operating for about 37 years. We have no complaints on record against it. Weighing regulation, track record and complaint history, our Trust Score is 6.9/10 — a reasonable profile.
Strengths
- Holds 3 regulatory licences across multiple jurisdictions
- Long 37-year operating track record
- No complaints on record with us
- Supports MetaTrader 4 trading
- Accessible minimum deposit ($100)
Watch-outs
- Regulated only in an offshore jurisdiction — weaker investor protection
- Very high leverage available (1:600) — amplifies risk
Bottom line: A reasonable option, but confirm the entity you open an account with is the regulated one.

Frequently asked
Is MasterLink Securities a safe broker?
MasterLink Securities 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 MasterLink Securities 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 MasterLink Securities?
MasterLink Securities publishes some trading terms, but always confirm withdrawal fees directly. Test with a small amount first and document every transaction.
