OW Markets Review — Overview
OW Markets is a forex & CFD broker based in Seychelles, established in 2019. On Trust Broker Hub it holds a Trust Score of 5.9 out of 10, which we rate as Fair — above the 4.9/10 average for brokers that hold a verified licence. Mixed profile — check regulation and conditions before depositing.
OW Markets's licence comes from an offshore jurisdiction (FSA). 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.
OW Markets provides access to Forex, indices, commodities, futures. Published conditions include leverage up to 1:1000. No complaints are currently on record. Overall, OW Markets has a mixed profile: check its regulation and conditions carefully before depositing.
